Sarasota Wedding With a Wedding Cake At Reception is so much fun!  Wedding cakes are a time-honored tradition dating back to the Roman Empire. The meaning of the traditional wedding cake has evolved over the course of history as has the contents and style of the cake. While the overall appearance and customs of the cake have changed, one thing has always remained true: each culture celebrated with some form of cake to honor the bride and groom.

During the Roman Empire, a loaf of specially made wedding bread was broken over the head of the bride during the ceremony. The broken cake represented the breaking of the bride’ virginity and the headship of of her new husband.  This breaking ceremony was eventually replaced by a kissing ceremony. For couples who completed the kissing ceremony, it meant they would have many children.  The bride’s pie contained a glass ring. The person who found it was said to be the next one who would be married. The significance of the wedding cake has always existed even though its meaning has changed. 

The modern day cake-cutting at a Sarasota wedding with a wedding cake at the reception holds many meanings dating back to these earlier cakes. Now the bride and groom begin the ceremony by cutting the cake together. This represents the couple’s first joint act as husband and wife. The couple’s action of feeding each other the first piece represents their desire to care for one another. The act of servicing the guests each piece of the cake goes back to the belief that eating some of the cake would bring them good luck.

How fun it is for all the guests to experience a  Sarasota Wedding with a wedding cake at  reception.
