wedding cakes

Multilayered nuptial desserts

Wedding cakes are elaborate tiered cakes served at wedding receptions, traditionally white and decorated with frosting, flowers, or figurines of the bride and groom.

The cutting of the cake is a ceremonial moment, often photographed: They fed each other bites of wedding cake.

The style has become shorthand for anything ornately decorated: a wedding cake of a Victorian mansion.
