The origin of the wedding cake dates back to ancient Rome. At that time, it was a barley cake. During medieval times in England, a newlywed couple kissing over a pile of bread buns represented a prosperous future. It was during this time in history that the tradition of single wedding guests taking home a piece of the bread bun to place under their pillow with the belief you would dream of your true love that night. That same tradition is done by some today with a piece of wedding cake. Frosting was first made in England in the mid-sixteenth century, when sugar was widely available. White icing was used on wedding cakes of wealthy families as a status symbol. The color white also symbolized the bride's purity. Soon, tiered wedding cakes were being displayed and served to further represented wealth. The Victorian age brought the elaborate tiered wedding cakes we often see at weddings today.
