The bridal couples both enjoy theme parks and thrill rides. The wedding cake is to take the shape of a rollercoaster with the likelihood of the couple in their bridal wear on the rollercoaster.

For centuries, cakes have been one of the main ingredients of a wedding celebration. However, the traditional wedding cake has not always been the rich variety, heavy with fruit, like the ones now generally favoured. In years gone by it was a simple confection, made from just flour, salt and water. Early British cakes were round and flat shapes, and later began to contain fruit and nuts to symbolize fertility.
In Roman times, the cake was even shared during the actual ceremony, although in those days it was more akin to a thin loaf of bread. At the close of the ceremony it was broken or crumbled over the bride's head to symbolize fertility and guests scrambled to gather crumbs as good luck charms. In Fiji the cake is still incorporated within the ceremony today.
The most popular “frosting” for a wedding cake is fondant. Generally, fondant is used as the covering for a cake, and ornamentations are put on top for decoration. The advantage of fondant is that it creates a smooth outside for the cake, and also makes smooth ribbons or skirtings, but most people are not fond of the taste, finding it bland and unpalatable.
This frosting is a simple concoction of melted chocolate and heavy cream. You can add liqueurs or extracts for additional flavor. Ganache made with three times as much chocolate as cream and serves as a shiny glaze for cakes. You can change the texture by chilling and beating it, to make a fluffier frosting for your cake.
