Wedding-cake

Nightlife in Strumstad boils down to Skagerack, a very loud, very young music venue in the classic wedding-cake building where the Stockholm elite once parried.

For years past this branch of art-manufacture had been entrusted to those whose taste, if it may be called taste at all, can be no more referred to correct principles of design than the gimcrack decorations of a wedding-cake could be tested by any standard of sculpturesque beauty.

Many a Suffolk lass believes that she will be sure to dream of her future husband if she sleep with her head on a pillow beneath which there lies a piece of wedding-cake that a bride has with her own hand cut from her bridal cake, and passed three times through her bridal ring.

A Victoria spongecake held pride of place as a wedding-cake, and there were glass jugs of orange-juice and chilled China tea.
