Carolina Mountain Bakery has been baking and decorating cakes since 1997 and can produce a cake for any occasion, whether birthday or christening, wedding, retirement, engagement or other occasions. Any colour or theme can be incorporated into your design. We will be happy to discuss your individual and personal ideas and advise accordingly.

We are often asked about the length of notice required for our cakes and we advise that a minimum of two weeks is sufficient. However, some periods of the year become fully booked quite early in the season so we recommend putting your request in as soon aspossible.. We are more than happy to discuss all aspects of your wedding cake with you - there is absolutely no obligation on your part. We will work with your florist and set up the cake as well.

A Wedding Cake is more than just a Cake

The History of the Wedding Cake The first cake was a thin loaf, more bread then cake. In many cultures the cake was baked in shapes of birds or grain and used for many celebrations. In early Roman times a Cake was broken over the Brides head, as a symbol of fruitfulness and good fortune. Guests then scrambled for the pieces of Cake in hope to secure good luck for themselves. The tiered cake symbolizes prosperity. In Anglo Saxon times quests brought little cakes to the wedding and piled them into a heap over which the Wedding couple would try to kiss. This was later turned into tiered Cakes in France. The European tradition in Wedding cakes is mostly white, as a symbol of purity. Wedding cakes in other cultures are often more colorful.
