The wedding cake is undeniably the most important part of the wedding menu and also of the décor of the wedding in a way. To say it is quite the “queen of the party” would not be wrong as it adds a complete touch to the delightful banquet of a wedding with a sweet and beautiful touch. The days when wedding cakes were not taken seriously are long gone. Today, wedding cakes have become a major fashion statement and there are wedding cake designers who meet up with the couple and discuss the entire theme of their wedding to design the perfect sponge wedding cake, which makes their wedding even more memorable.

These sponge wedding cakes are available in all sizes, shapes, colors and themes. It all depends on the preference of the couple and the theme of the décor. While there are seven to eight tier sponge wedding cakes for large scale weddings, there are also single tier but beautifully decorated cakes for smaller and more intimate weddings.

Waiters place the sponge wedding cake in front of the bride and the groom usually right after the ring ceremony takes place. This is when the cake cutting ceremony begins where the bride and groom use a silver knife that is decorated with a beautiful satin ribbon or bow, to cut the cake. The bride is supposed to feed a slice to the husband and the husband to the wife, after which the cake is offered to the parents of the bride and the groom.

After this traditional rite is completed, the rest of the guests can enjoy the sponge wedding cake. The wedding cake serves two important requirements; it is a great and delightful dessert at the wedding and adds to the scenic beauty of the event. Most people believe that if the wedding cake is properly done and beautiful, it might just be the most photographed piece after the bride.

Here are some types of sponge wedding cakes available.

The multi-tier cake

Multi tier cakes are the most common wedding cakes at ceremonies in today’s time and most people believe that a wedding cake should be multi tier since wedding is a milestone. However, it is important to realize that while multi tier cakes make a great visual impact and meet the expectations of the guests, it is more important for the cake to taste good and look beautiful than be multi tier and lack the basic elements.

The pie to the 'American

The pie to the American is a typical kind of sponge cake, which is covered with almond paste and seems like a sculpture of icing sugar. While this cake is narrow at the base, it is inclined upwards and the composition is quite different from other cakes. It is compact and absolutely delicious for those who enjoy the taste of almond particularly.

The single portion cake is a great way to make cakes look delicate and serve as an official give away to guests. Even if it not used as a give away, it is easy to serve and there is minimum wastage. Moreover, single portion cakes can look absolutely stunning if designed properly. When places on tier stands, they look even more gorgeous and add to the aesthetic beauty of the wedding ceremony.
