Wedding Cake: It IS Cake


Listen Later

Ready to unpack and unload some traditions and nonsense around wedding cakes? Dickey sure is!

From the humble, head-smashing origins of mustaceum in Ancient Rome to the tiered confections we see today, there sure are some odd twists and turns before we get to $20 a slice. Special shout-out to Yorkshire for having some absolutely bonkers wedding cake tradishes, and for those 1700s icing recipes that call for literal whale intestine lining and musk.

NDJ announces the ban of a hot dog champ. Oh, the VEGANITY!
