Weddings

Weddings - I had always planned to do some sort of wedding cake and I even made a template of one to make from polymer clay. However,at the time,  I was reading an article about Marie Antoinette who probably did not say "Let them eat cake!" , but it made a great subject for this "Wedding " tag. 

PS : The lace in the photo is from my wedding dress - vintage - 42 years old.

However, there is no evidence that Queen Marie-Antoinette ever uttered this phrase. It was first attributed to her by Alphonse Karr in "Les Guepes" of March, 1843.^[6] Other objections to the legend of Marie-Antoinette and the cake/brioche centre on arguments concerning the real queen's personality, internal evidence from members of the French royal family, and the date of the saying's origin. For example, the Queen's best-selling English-language biographer, Lady Antonia Fraser, wrote in 2002:

[Let them eat cake] was said 100 years before her by Marie-Thérèse, the wife of Louis XIV. It was a callous and ignorant statement and she, Marie Antoinette, was neither.^[7]

As Fraser points out in her biography, Marie-Antoinette was a generous patroness of charity and moved by the plight of the poor when it was brought to her attention, thus making the statement out-of-character for her.^[8] This makes it unlikely that Marie-Antoinette ever said this.
