History of Tier Cakes

As per the tradition several baked items were mounted against each other and the higher they were placed the better it was. It was expected out of the couple to kiss over the mound and if they manage to kiss each other without toppling up the pile, they were assured with a lifetime prosperity.

The stacking of the baked items, one over the other looked highly uncivilized and messy and it was then when a French Chef suggested them to go for tiers which look quite neat and tidy instead of using sawn off broom handles which wasn’t accepted whole heartedly then.

It was during the 17th century when ‘Bride Pie’ came into the picture. This consisted of sweet breads, pie’s and sometimes even mutton pies too. Within this bride pie was a hidden glass ring, the woman who could find the glass ring was supposed was supposed to be the next probable girl to get married.

There is another popular legend which is associated with Wedding Anniversary Cakes. When William Rich was completing his apprentice in London he accidentally fell in love with his Boss’s daughter. William Rich was hell bent to come up with an idea to impress her and the inspiration came from spire of St. Bride’s Church and he baked tier cake for his love in London

The marriage of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert set the fashion of white flown gowns and tier cake in fashion. Since sugar was available at a cheaper price so it became easier for everybody to come up with the tier cakes for Wedding Anniversary but after the World War II, rationing led to ordering of smaller cakes.
