Hang on, Wait, Have you ever wondered why we use cake stands? 

The tradition of using cake stands at weddings has historical roots, although it has evolved over time. The wedding cake itself has been a symbol of celebration and fertility in various cultures for centuries. In ancient Rome, guests would break a cake over the bride’s head to ensure fertility and good fortune. In medieval England, the custom was to stack small cakes as high as possible, and the newlyweds would attempt to kiss over the towering confection for a lifetime of prosperity.

The concept of elevating the wedding cake on a stand can be traced back to the 19th century in England. During this time, the tiered wedding cake became popular, and couples started using cake stands to showcase the elaborate designs and decorations. The tiered structure not only added visual appeal but also allowed for the creation of a more impressive centerpiece.

As wedding traditions spread across cultures and evolved with time, the use of cake stands became a common practice. Today, cake stands come in various styles and materials, ranging from classic silver or crystal stands to more contemporary and DIY options. They continue to serve as a focal point for the wedding reception, emphasizing the importance of the cake-cutting ceremony and symbolizing the sweetness and shared joy of the newlyweds.

Fun Outdoor Games for Fourth of July and Summer Events

I’ve written a lot about different Fourth of July activities and crafts over the years (see links below) but one thing I haven’t touched on much is the Fourth of July party. A backyard hangout and barbecue is a classic event, so why not bring some fun outside with red, white and blue games the whole family can play?

Games like these can help develop fine motor skills, and getting kids up and moving is always a good idea. If adults join in, so much the better.

Six Clever Sisters has collected a dozen fun Fourth of July games you can make for the backyard to play for the holiday or any time during the summer.

A lot of these are regular sorts of backyard games like hitting targets with squirt guns or tossing balls into buckets, but given a red, white and blue twist for the patriotic holidays.

These games would be fun throughout the year regardless of whether you put a patriotic spin on them.

For example the tic tac toe game shown here, which is from Hey Let’s Make Stuff, would be cute with x’s and o’s painted in any colors you like. And of course you could make it even easier and just play on the sidewalk with red, white and blue chalk if you don’t have a ready supply of wooden letters.

Check out all the ideas for backyard party games for the Fourth of July at Six Clever Sisters.
