Cake is obtained from a chemically leavened batter that results in a spongy and airy texture. There
are thousands of cake recipes and variations, but there are some consistencies in defining cake.
Cakes are typically circle in shape, however many cakes are also rectangular, or cut into specific
shapes in order to be decorated.
Cake is almost always sweet, which differentiates cake
products
from bread, which is typically not sweet. Additionally, cake is often made from a batter, which is
much more liquid than dough.
Wedding cake was originally a luxury item, and a sign of celebration and social status (the bigger
the cake, the higher the social standing). Wedding cakes in England and early America were
traditionally fruit cakes, often tiered and topped with marzipan and icing. Cutting the cake was an
important part of the reception. White icing was also a symbol of money and social importance in
Victorian times, so a white cake was highly desired. Today, many flavors and configurations are
available in addition to the traditional all-white tiered cake.
In Medieval England cakes
were stacked as high as possible for the bride and groom to kiss over. A successful kiss meant they
were guaranteed a prosperous life together.
From this the Croquembouche was created. The
myth
behind this cake tells of a pastry chef, visiting Medieval England who witnessed their tradition of
piling sweet rolls between the bride and groom, which they attempted to kiss over without knocking
them all down. The pastry chef then went back to France and piled sweet rolls up into a tower to
make the first Croquembouche. The modern croquembouche is still very popular in France, where it is
now common to place the croquembouche tower on a bed of cake and make it a top tier. This
traditional French wedding cake is built from profiteroles and given a halo of spun sugar.
In 1703, Thomas Rich, a baker's apprentice from Ludgate Hill, fell in love with his employer's
daughter and asked her to marry him. He wanted to make an extravagant cake, so he drew on St Bride's
Church, on Fleet Street in London for inspiration.
Dark wedding cakes don't always have to be moody and brooding. This stunner exudes a soft elegance with its floral-painted tier and accents of handmade sugar blossoms in powdery tones.

This fun twist on the classic Red Velvet Cake takes on a new, blue hue in this Royal Blue Velvet Cake recipe. By combining three tiers of fluffy royal blue cake and sweet marshmallow creme icing, this blue velvet cake recipe is impressive and delicious. When looking to achieve the royal blue coloring, remember to use paste food color rather than liquid or gel food color. Working with liquid or gel food color will cause the color of your Royal Blue Velvet Cake to vary. This cake is certainly baked in history as the recipe was inspired by the royal heirloom sapphire engagement ring.
