The history of the wedding cake is as extensive as the wedding cake itself. Its tradition dates back to Antiquity. Back then, the cakes were sweet pastries made from yeast dough, sweetened with honey and filled with nuts. The symbolism of the cake as part of the wedding ceremony began with the ancient Romans and Greeks. The first ones broke the wedding cake over the bride's head as a sign of the loss of virginity, wishing the newlyweds fertility, while in Greece, the wedding party threw small cakes at the newlyweds, wishing them fertility in marriage. Multi-tiered cakes appeared in the 17th century. See wedding cakes over time in the picture.
