The history of the wedding cake goes back as far as the Roman Empire, well before the concept of elaborately icing a cake, was invented.

The notion of sleeping with a piece of cake underneath one's pillow dates back as far as the 17th century and quite probably forms the basis for today's tradition of giving cake as a "gift." Legend has it that sleepers will dream of their future spouses if a piece of wedding cake is under their pillow.
