    Special-purpose cakes

    Cakes may be classified according to the occasion for which they are intended. For
    example, wedding cakes, birthday cakes, cakes for first communion, Christmas
    cakes, Halloween cakes, and Passover plava (a type of sponge cake sometimes made
    with matzo meal) are all identified primarily according to the celebration they are intended
    to accompany. The cutting of a wedding cake constitutes a social ceremony in some
    cultures. The Ancient Roman marriage ritual of confarreatio originated in the sharing of a
    cake.
    Particular types of cake may be associated with particular festivals, such
    as stollen or chocolate log (at Christmas), babka and simnel cake (at Easter),
    or mooncake. There has been a long tradition of decorating an iced cake at Christmas
    time; other cakes associated with Christmas include chocolate log and mince pies.
    A Lancashire Courting Cake is a fruit-filled cake baked by a fiancée for her betrothed.
    The cake has been described as "somewhere between a firm sponge – with a greater
    proportion of flour to fat and eggs than a Victoria sponge cake – and a shortbread base
    and was proof of the bride-to-be's baking skills". Traditionally it is a two-layer cake filled
    and topped with strawberries or raspberries and whipped cream. [15]
