Family Wedding Cakes through the Years

Today, I am joining Stephanie at Angelic Accents for her
To Have and To Hold Wedding Party.

Last year, I shared my magical wedding gown for Stephanie's party.

This year, I've moved on to wedding cakes.  

I thought it would be fun to share some of the wedding cakes
of my family members.

This is my parent's wedding cake, 1955.

My mom said is was very hot and humid that day

and the cake was practically melting.

This next picture I just had to include, also from my parent's wedding album. 

Heaven forbid you have an Italian wedding without a cookie tray....

....and I mean a cookie tray that requires two people to carry!  lol

My oldest sister got married in 1980. 

She had a waterfall cake and instead of the traditional bride & groom,

she had Annalee wedding mice atop the cake.

My second oldest sister got married in 1983 .  Her cake had a bridge. 

When my sister brought her wedding album over to me,
she remarked about how ugly everything was,
especially the paneling & air vent over their heads
in this picture!  lol  

What's even funnier is that when I opened my
oldest sister's wedding album and found the picture of her wedding cake,
I found the same paneling & air vent! lol

(It's true, go back up & look.)  

I don't have a picture of my brother's wedding cake from 1987.  

My sister-in-law is so non-sentimental, I was afraid to call

and ask for a photo of her wedding cake
for fear she'd say she's thrown away the wedding album years ago! 

Yeah, I am serious.    

My wedding cake, 1992, was a strawberry cheescake. 

In 1992, I was not a fan of cheesecake, but it was the only request

my husband made, so how could I refuse him?

When he fed me that cake, I made the most horrible face

and I do believe I said, "I hate cheesecake" on the video. 

I am proud to say, I now love cheesecake!

As a side note...believe it or not, the picture of my wedding cake was
taken in the same location as my two sisters' wedding cakes.
Thank goodness the reception hall remodeled by then!  lol 

My niece is getting married in October 2012.  

Her cake will most likely look something like this:

Wedding cakes sure have come a long way since 1955,
 haven't they?

If you enjoyed this post today

Thanks for joining me today!
