During the Roman times, the concept of elaborate wedding cake decorations and icings was not yet a reality. For instance, the groom is supposed to eat part of the wedding loaf. He would then break the remaining portion and it must be broken over the bride’s head. This symbolizes the groom’s dominance over the bride. This tradition, however, has long been eradicated possibly because of its chauvinistic implications.

You may find it exciting that the wedding cake was thrown to bride instead of eating in the past.

Icing – using a coating of royal icing – is the traditional way of covering a wedding cake. If yours is to be a classical, traditional wedding, you may find an icing wedding cake best suited to your needs.

However, please note that the same cakes can be created and covered using either icing or chocolate. It is entirely your choice whether an icing covering or chocolate covering better suits the theme of your wedding. The only practical difference is that the surface of an icing wedding cake is likely to be smoother and softer than an equivalent cake covered with chocolate.
