Saffron Wedding Cake

Filed under Alternative Wedding Cakes + Unique Wedding Cakes  5:19 pm

saffronIt is very hip to eat foods just as they were described in the Bible, and Saffron Wedding Cake is derived from a recipe in the Bible originally referred to as a lover’s cake made out of Saffron. For centuries saffron is not only known as an aphrodisiac but as a spice its orange threads are thought to draw fertility and prosperity to whoever consumes it. However it came to represent wealth simply because the spice was originally so expensive to procure from India. Aside from the saffron threads which turn the cake batter a golden yellow, the cake’s recipe also calls for currant, nutmegs, raisins and lemons which have been traditional ingredients in wedding fruit cakes for centuries as well. You can see a full version of the recipe for this holy wedding cake at Cooking With the Bible.  You can see it is not a very attractive confection and probably best suits a wedding that is more organic or hippie like in nature.
