Cutting to the chase with photos of some amazing wedding cakes

February 12, 2014 by Morris Images

wedding cakes

 Our brides’ cakes revealed!

As a photographer and not a cake maker, I know two things about wedding cakes: 1. I like eating them, and 2. They are complicated to make.

So I thought I’d scrub up on some facts about this delicious tradition, and share them with you…piece by piece.

Wedding cake facts – did you know?

Fact #1: One of the first cake traditions began in Ancient Rome where bread was smashed over the bride’s head to bring good fortune to the couple.

Fact #2: In Medieval England, guests stacked cakes as high as possible and if the bride and groom managed to successfully kiss over the stack prosperity was theirs. (If not, I’m guessing the cleanup was messy.)

Fact #3: In times past, to symbolise acceptance of the wedding proposal the bride would place her ring inside the groom’s portion of the cake.

Fact #4: The first modern wedding cake, made in 1882, had pillars made from broomsticks covered in icing. (No kidding. What’s worse is the cake belonged to a Duke who, I’m sure, could afford to splash out on something a little fancier.)

Just to clarify, I don’t claim to be a historian so I did borrow this information from our friends at wikipedia. Thank you and bon appétit 🙂

Testimonials

Love. Love. LOVE! Just got back from our honeymoon and made a bee-line for your facey page to see the teaser shots – sooooo awesome. Thankyou for everything you did on the day – you were above and beyond being our wedding photographer.
Angie and Richard
I am looking for the LOVE IT button cause this is more than LIKE. You and your team were amazing not only on the day but the lead up as well. Thank you very much.
Chris and Lauren
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!! We love them Morris, thanks so much! Can’t wait for the wedding now, the photos and the honeymoon are what I’m most looking forward to from the wedding (oh and marrying Lance of course lol).
Kylie and Lance
Thank you both so much for the work you put in. Not to mention helping out tracking down my groom for the ceremony, sorting out the flowers and just taking control when things went a bit off centre.
Jessica and Cory
I just wanted to say thank you so much from Chris and myself for everything you did on Friday to help with Katie and Matt’s wedding day.  It was really a pleasure to meet you and to deal with you, not only are you truly professional in your approach to everything on the day and night, you are also very helpful and respectful and a very nice person as well.
Robyn, Bride Katie’s Mum
Morris, I wanted to say a huge and heartfelt thank you for yesterday. None of our friends or family had anything but considerable praise for you guys and it would not have been the same day without your wit, patience and fantastic advice.
Eloise and Will
Thank you for yesterday. You were absolutely amazing and the best photographer in the world. You made our day so easy and enjoyable and your creativity with photos is just unbelievable.
Emma and Dennis
WOW!! What can I say… OMG…lol. The photos are absolutely incredible! Matt, my family and myself could not be happier. We are so impressed! It took us about 2.5 hours to go through them and I still have not felt like I have seen them properly.
Katie and Matt
