These Wedding Cakes Will Make You Wanna Get Married Fast!

There is apart of a wedding you dare not ignore after the bride’s dress, the couple’s first dance or kiss is definitely the wedding cake!

In Nigerian wedding culture, we believe the act of cutting the cake solidifies the union between the couple, as a display of affection is executed when the groom feeds the bride and the bride feeds the groom. This act symbolizes the beginning of a new journey for them being ONE!

Traditionally, the cake symbolizes a number of things, from the colour on the outside layer down to the mixture within. Topics of wealth, good fortune, fertility and purity are all but a few in the long list of requirements a couple considers before making a final decision on what cake to choose.

Here we have some beautiful wedding cakes that will make you wanna get married fast, like tomorrow;

Most wedding cakes vary from 2 to 7 tiers in size, with layers that may differ in width – but the bigger the bottom base, the better!

What happens to the wedding cake after the wedding? It is but a mystery as to what exactly happens to the cake after all this effort. Many couples freeze the cake and share a slice on their 1st anniversary, others share it on the day, while some leave it as a decor piece during the reception, then divvy it up among the bride and groom’s family after.
