Celebrity Wedding Cakes

While love may be the same old story through time, a white cake is not when love is in the air and cake is on the fingers of celebrities. You decide which one of these confection concoctions takes the cake!    The wedding cake tradition goes back to the Roman Empire. Cutting cake together is the first task performed jointly as husband and wife, and feeding each other the first bite is symbolic of the mutual commitment of bride and groom to provide for one another.

Last month, Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman and her Grammy-winning groom Keith Urban dished out a raspberry mascarpone cake for their guests in Australia. The fruit filling and white icing dessert was a simple three-tiered wedding cake.

When actress Carmen Electra and musician Dave Navarro got married, their four-tiered cake of Oreo cheesecake, chocolate cake and strawberry shortcake layers was bedecked with Swarovski crystals to match the crystals on her Badgley Mishka wedding gown!
