National Chocolate Cake Day!
Yesterday was National Chocolate Cake day and we, of course, were more than happy to help celebrate this occasion! Whilst eating a particularly delicious slice of triple chocolate fudge gateau, we started thinking about all the amazing cakes we have seen over the years.
Traditionally, wedding cakes were made to bring good luck to the couple and their guests. They were also a sign of luxury and social standing; the higher the tiers, the higher the social standing. Thankfully, we have waved goodbye to such traditions and now most weddings do feature a cake of some sort. The customary mazipanned and iced fruit cake remains a firm favourite although decorations vary wildly from beautiful cascading flowers to a much more modern star wars theme (we’re not joking – we have seen this)! Last autumn we were thrilled to see a cheese “cake” – a tiered cheeseboard filled with some of the most wonderful cheese we have ever seen – perfect if you don’t have a sweet tooth!
Birthday parties and anniversaries are another fabulous excuse for cake – very often designed to fit the guest of honours theme or lifestyle. For example a wonderful country themed cake complete with painted icing figures of the birthday girl’s horses and dogs was provided to one party we attended.
