This is a peer-reviewed journal article
from an educational journal on Victorian Studies. This article sheds like on
the wedding cakes of the English Victorian Era, from the changes of cake
structure, the French chef designs, and the influences of Queen Victoria. This
article will be very useful as it gives a more detailed account of the
Victorian era and contains more in-depth information on why these changes in
structure and design took place. Because this is published with a University
backing, and is an educational journal, I can trust that the information has
been well studied and can help me form a better analysis of the wedding cake
with more details and explanation.

This is a peer-reviewed journal article
from a journal called Folklore. This article is another telling of the history
of the wedding cake but has a more concrete approach, such as when the term
“wedding cake” first makes a literary debut. This article will be nice to have
for my research paper as it can provide a different, more obtuse version of the
wedding cake’s history, and provide insight of it’s becoming through
literature. As this is also a peer-reviewed journal, I can trust the
information is accurate and that the data collected has been authenticated.
Although I am not familiar with this specific journal, from reading it, I can
tell how informative and useful this article will be for my research paper.

This is a short informative video found
on Youtube from the “Historic Royal Palaces” channel. In this video, food
historian, Marc Meltonville, discusses a brief history of wedding cakes and
traditions throughout royal wedding history. This video will be good for my
research paper as it examines the different trends royalty has set for wedding
cakes, starting from Henry VIII of England to the 20th Century. I
have checked the origin of the “Historic Royal Palaces” channel and they are a
non-profit arm of the British government specializing in the historical palaces
of Great Britain. As this channel is sanctioned by Parliament, and that the man
speaking is a food historian, I can trust this information is correct. This
video will give a new view into how the trends of wedding cakes has changed
over the years and how the English Royals have set those trends.

This is a journal article in a reputable
journal having all to do with the history of wedding cakes. This article describes
the history of the wedding cake from Ancient Roman weddings to modern day
England; it also includes two recipes from traditional weddings prior to World
War II. This article will be useful to my research paper because it is from a
reliable source, gives specific examples I can use to help illustrate how these
cakes were, and provides details from past history that other articles I have
found have not touched on. Because my research paper will be on the history of
the wedding cake, this non-biased, professional journal article will help guide
me through my paper.
