Wedding Cake

By Colleen Graham, About.com

The Wedding Cake is a very common cocktail that has two variations that are the essentially the same yet they're distinctly different. One uses white creme de cacao and milk while the other uses gin and cream. To further confuse things the drink is like the Daiquiri in the respect that the drink is either shaken and served on the rocks or it's blended. No matter which way you decide to serve it, it's a given that it will be one great drink for your wedding.
