Wedding Cake Alternatives
We all know what a traditional wedding cake looks like. It is usually a round cake that is at least 3 layers with each layer on top getting smaller and smaller. And on top is a cake topper of the bridge and groom. And of course, no wedding cake is complete without the white frosting whether it be buttercream or fondant. The unanimous factor about a wedding cake tends to be that it is white, a wedding tradition that is said to date back all the way to the 17th century.
