Key Number One
The Caribbean Wedding Cake

A Must For A Tropical Themed Wedding

Cake History!
The conception of the wedding cake dates back to the Roman Empire, when the presence of a barley loaf  stood in place of the wedding cake, as we know it to be today. Although  the yummy sweet taste of cake verses a very healthy barley loaf doesn't sound very appealing and I'm almost sure that the Romans didn't think about toasting it and smearing it mashed berries or honey, the fact is the symbolic rituals associated with it's presence, was just as important as our cake cutting rituals are today.

During that historical period a freshly baked barley loaf  made especially for the wedding feast, was given to the  Groom who would then take it to symbolize his dominant role as the  head of household and man over his Bride. The guests would look on as they witnessed the traditional breaking of the barley loaf by the Groom over his Bride's head, symbolizing the breaking of her hymen and soon to be lost virginity.

Of course today's Bride would reject having the crumbs from a barley loaf falling into her bridal up do, in a modern wedding minute, so thank goodness for the introduction of  cakes that the Bride and Groom can now feed to each other, or mush into each other's faces. What's funny however, is that if the Romans could peek into the future our modern day rituals would be just as amusing to them as theirs is to us.

The Rum Cake
The fruit cake was introduced to the Caribbean Island by the English during the 17th century, however the recipe  was quickly altered by the African slaves who they  brought to the Caribbean Islands during the slave trade. Since then all of the Caribbean Islands have developed their own version of the fruit cake, as families pass down secret ingredients of spices to use and how to prepare the fruit before baking.

A Caribbean Rum Cake For A 

Tropical Destination Themed Wedding.

Claire, the owner of Caribbean Wedding Cakes runs her Caribbean Bakery business in New York, after inheriting the secret recipes of the rum cake  that her mother used to bake in the Caribbean.  As a little girl Claire would stand on a chair in her mother's kitchen as she studied her mother, cracking the freshly laid eggs they had collected earlier. Claire would listen intently to the stories that her mother told about weddings she had baked for and how she as a little girl would watch her own mother making cakes, Her mother would then pour a little flour and water into a small clay bowl and and as she gave  Claire a small wooden spoon with which to mix the flour and water with, what she was in fact doing     un-be-known to her little girl, was passing down a tradition that her mother had in turn passed down to her.  Mimicking her mother, Claire would stir the flour and water mix,  pretending to cream the sweet butters and granulated sugars, as she poured invisible  pure essences and freshly ground spices mirroring her mother who was adding the right measures of the secret ingredients into her large baking bowl.
