Brit Lit Cake explanation

A few of you have asked what wedding cakes have to do with British Literature, so I guess I should offer an explanation. As part of the requirements for the class, we we had to complete a creative project that took a minimum of ten hours to complete. It could be basically anything that tied into either a piece of literature we studied, or on of the time periods that we studied. I knew I wanted to do something I would enjoy, and that would be worthwhile, but had absolutely no ideas. The Victorian Era was my favorite time period that we studied in class, so I began researching Victorian traditions online. I happened to find a few websites about Victorian Wedding Traditions. One tradition was that the wedding cake had three parts. There was a big intricate wedding cake, much like the ones we have today, and there were two smaller cakes. The first small cake was the bride's, and it was a simple white cake, with white fondant. The second small cake was a dark cake for the Groom. Inside the small cakes, were charms for the bridal party. The charms would each symbolize something such as good luck, the next to fall in love, next to have a baby, and so on. Well, I am currently in the process of teaching myself how to decorate cakes, and I loved the Victorian wedding tradition. So, I decided to make a traditional Victorian wedding cake for my creative project. I only posted pictures of the main, intricate cake, but I made the two smaller cakes as well! One of the websites mentioned that the main cakes were usually decorated with white fondant, floral patterns, and the primary color was often blue. So, that is how my wedding cake tied in to my British Literature class!
