The history of the wedding cake is quite unexpected and can be traced back to mediaeval times when the cake would have been made of wheat and thrown at the bride as a symbol of fertility. Society has come a long way since then! But regardless of how the ritual of the wedding cake began, today it is, without a doubt, an essential part of any wedding day!
Keeping with the importance of wedding cakes, The Wedding Expo is excited to announce our upcoming Cake Competition! Cake makers will get the opportunity to showcase their creative skills in making the ultimate wedding cake and have their creations judged by industry experts. These experts include: Franco Lambiase (South African Cake Decorators Guild), Jodie-Ann Pearton (Chefs Association), Nicole Allen (Editor,
Wedding Inspirations magazine), and Hillary Biller (
Food Times Weekly).
If you are a blushing bride-to-be and want to find wedding cake inspiration, visit The Wedding Expo on the 31st March - 1st April 2012 to see the magnificent cakes entered into the Cake Competition. Vote for your dream cake and stand the chance of winning some great prizes!
