Remember the last time you had peach cobbler? Or blueberry pie? Apple pie? Picturing it? Now try to recall the taste of a particular wedding cake you've had. Still thinkin? Yeah. Dwell on that. Our decision to forgo the wedding cake altogether and serve pies instead is not just financially motivated (though wedding cakes can easily cost 600-900 dollars in NY). We found out from a (very nice and helpful) venue rep that quite a few couples have a "fake" wedding cake to cut into just for show. Only the part they're slicing into is real, the rest is styrofoam. Then this show-offy fake cake is whisked away and slices cut from a poor "ordinary" sheet cake (hidden from sight in the kitchen) are doled out to guests. Mmmmh....tastes like tacky.

Why would you want to eat yourself? Also: Why would you want your family and friends to descend upon you? Seems awkward. Who eats what part etc.
ReplyDeleteThat wedding-cake-looking-like-the-bride thing is creep-a-licious.
ReplyDeleteAnd the bride and groom cut into the doppel-cake-ganger together. With a knife.
A little strange.
