Trivia: Which monarch was the first to have a white wedding cake?
Queen Victoria
Mary, Queen of Scots
Queen Elizabeth II
Marie Antoinette
The correct answer is Queen Victoria
So why is this answer correct? : Queen Victoria’s 1840 wedding cake set the standard for royal cakes and forever changed how Western wedding cakes looked. She was the first to use white icing, which would go on to be called “royal icing” because of its association with nobility. She also popularized cake toppers. Victoria’s toppers depicted her and her husband, Albert, turtle doves, cupids, and of course, one of her beloved dogs.
