Sri Lankan wedding
With traditions and customs the wedding cake structure for an eastern or western wedding, which symbolizes the sharing of the newly married couple has become an important symbol as the poruwa ceremony, church ceremony, and lighting of the oil lamp

A Traditional Sri Lankan wedding is rich with many symbolized events such as the couple offers 7 betel leaf bundles to the Gods in order to request for protection for the lives of seven generations that will come to be from the marriage, The little fingers of the bride and groom are tied with golden thread to symbolize bond and unity - then holy water is poured over. Water and earth being the eternal verities, the water so poured and the earth on which it falls are intended to be the lasting witnesses to the marriage & The couple steps down from the "Poruwa" and a fresh coconut is broken in front of the couple to drive away evil spirits. An oil lamp is lit to signify their resolve to keep the home fires burning and for a bright future.

We have been successful in glorifying these traditional events with the addition of our “traditional wedding cakes” which goes in line with our culture.
