But while you might have thought the tiers on a wedding cake are purely aesthetic, each holds significance – and there’s a reason a true, authentic bake always comes with three. You might be aware, but the traditions of old dictate that the bottom tier is for eating after the ceremony. The bride and groom slice into it, and a long queue forms. You don’t have to have three tiers… The top tier is saved for the first child’s christening. Back in the day, this was often an event that followed soon after the big day.
