When I was 12 or thirteen, I remember being the hostess at my cousin’s wedding ceremony. One of the first things I saw when I walked into the reception hall was this beautiful wedding cake. For years, I dreamed of a fairytale wedding ceremony cake like hers. The cake was tall, separated by columns with a few tiers, although I can’t recollect exactly how many there were. At the top of the marriage cake were the bride and groom, and on the other hand, the bridesmaids and groomsmen’s status on staircases caused the pinnacle. The staircases have been additionally connected to smaller desserts that decorated the element, and below, the cake changed into a fountain. I suppose many brides bear in mind the technology of the big cakes with all kinds of special decorations on them. I just stood there, surprised, and checked out her beautiful wedding cake decked out in the wedding colors. I dreamed of the day I could cut into my wedding cake, which appeared much like that. That cake became possibly the second most well-known part of that wedding.
