“Wedding cake in the past wasn’t meant to be eaten at the party, at least in the ’80s. It was a yucky fruit cake. The cake cut by newlyweds was just a fake styrofoam cake for show (except for the top tier). So, the fruit cake was pre-cut and wrapped for you to take home as a guest.”
“Apparently, you were supposed to take it, put it under your pillow, and dream of your future spouse?! Even as a kid, I didn’t get it. So, I tried to eat it, but it tasted terrible anyway — dry and full of currants, etc. (Oh, BTW, the top tier was meant to be saved to be eaten on the couple’s first anniversary. Yuck.).”
