A bridal cake is a traditional dessert served at weddings, often designed to be a centerpiece of the reception. Typically multi-tiered, these cakes are decorated with intricate designs, flowers, or even figurines representing the couple. The flavors can vary widely, including vanilla, chocolate, or fruit, and they are often filled with creams or jams. The cutting of the bridal cake is a significant moment during the wedding celebration, symbolizing the couple's first act together as a married pair. Guests usually enjoy a slice of the cake, and many couples save the top tier to celebrate their first anniversary.
