Stunning Purple Wedding Cake Designs

There is no mistaking the imagery of the purple wedding cake. The colour purple was harvested from the hypobrachial gland of the Murex mollusc by Phoenician fisherman in such small quantities that the cost of extraction made the colour purple more precious than gold.

So precious was the purple dye that ancient civilzations considered purple the colour of royalty. Roman consuls wore a strip of purple on the hems of their togas. When Julius Caesar became Dictator of Rome, his toga was all purple. Hence, purple became the colour of royalty.

Today, not all of us can trace our royal lineage, but we can still have purple cakes at our weddings. Today, if we have a royal or even a purple theme, the purple cake is an integral part of the theme.
