A traditional wedding cake tends to have multiple layers and the couple will often have a fruit cake layer on top (I always think it's because no one likes fruit cake so the smallest layer is fruit cake to please the mother in law!) Then the other layers could be a Victoria sponge or chocolate sponge and they are beautifully decorated.
It is also traditional to keep the top layer of the wedding cake for your firstborn child's christening...however this wouldn't be possible if the cakes were made of anything that is perishable like chicken nuggets!
This is the latest craze where people have been trying to make their wedding day extra special by making it personal to them and they have been doing this by not having a traditional wedding cake but rather choosing their favourite food as a substitute!
A couple had chicken nuggets as their wedding cake stacked in tiers and recently another couple had pizzas as their wedding cake! I would have loved to have seen their guest's faces as they got a slice of pepperoni pizza after dinner!
I'm a traditionalist and personally would prefer a proper wedding cake made of sponge!
