Wedding cake
A tiered cake at a marriage feast — public sweetness shared as the formal beginning of a joint life.
A wedding cake in a dream is the dream's image of sweetness made publicly and cut publicly to mark the joining of two lives. The cake is not for one mouth; it is for distributing the new union out to the people who have been gathered to witness it. The dream brings the cake when something in your life — a partnership, a collaboration, a kept vow — is currently at the stage of being announced and shared as a fact, not negotiated as a possibility. A wedding cake cut cleanly and distributed is the dream affirming that the public good of the joining was received. A wedding cake that has collapsed before the cutting is the dream noting that the public form of the union has failed in front of the witnesses, and the private fact of the marriage now has to do without the support of the ceremony.
