The Bem-Casado sweet is a classic in Brazilian confectionery, widely enjoyed at weddings, parties, and special celebrations.
This small cake, filled and covered with a thin layer of powdered sugar, symbolizes union and good luck for the couple and guests.
The Origin of Bem-Casado
The history of Bem-Casado dates back to the 19th century and has its roots in Europe. It is believed to be an adaptation of Portuguese sweets like the "casadinho" or "casado," which also represent the union of two parts.
In Brazil, the Bem-Casado has evolved to become a typical wedding treat, symbolizing the harmonious union between two people and the promise of happiness and prosperity.
