Superstitious Saturday Cake
I have heard this superstition before: If a single women sleeps with a piece of
wedding cake under her pillow she will dream of her future husband. It
always made me wonder how this is possible. Not the dream but the actual act of
putting a piece of cake under one’s pillow. Seems like it would make an awful
mess.
Does it work if the cake is wrapped
tightly? It would still get squashed – unless it was under the very edge of a
large pillow, I guess.
Anyway, this superstition dates back at
least to the 17th century, and may relate to the bride giving her
guests tiny bits of cake to pass through her wedding ring for good luck. Also,
at this time fruitcakes were the common wedding cake and I suppose they would make
less of a mess if placed beneath a pillow.

Superstition #157:
“If a single women sleeps with a piece of wedding cake
under her pillow she will dream of her future husband.”

Quote of the Day:
“I begin
to describe a three-tier cake. The bottom tier would be a deep, dark devil's
food cake filled with thick chocolate custard. The middle tier would be a
vanilla cake filled with a fluffy vanilla mousse and a layer of roasted
strawberries. The top tier, designed to be removed whole and frozen for the
first anniversary, would be one layer of chocolate cake and one of vanilla with
a strawberry buttercream filling. The whole cake would be covered in a layer of
vanilla buttercream, perfectly smoothed, and the tiers separated by a simple
line of piped dots, looking like a string of pearls.”
