The Groom's Cake

Bride's pizza OTM.

just got an email from my wedding dessert lady, here's what we're doing:

rosemary grapefruit shortbread sandwich cookies
black & white cookies
hand pies ( like Hubig's)
doberge cake (½ lemon, ½ chocolate)
chocolate & salted caramel truffle cups
fresh berry tart (vegan & gluten free)

nb each individual thing is going to be a character from call of duty black ops

welcome to adam's wedding dessert thread, hope u survive

75% of the reason we hired a wedding day coordinator was so someone would order us midnight pizza. He did, but I was outside and it got demolished before I got a slice ;_;

that's so fucking smart. i've been wondering why we hired this girl.

Make sure she *brings you* some pizza or at least saves it!

i have never heard of doberge cake, now I want some dammit

it's the shit

i had no idea this was a thing and i cant stop laughing

we had pie from dangerously delicious pies. i didn't even get any (wtf) although i heard it was grebt

(later i got divorced, but nevertheless pie >>>> cake)

Divorce does not negate awesomeness of wedding. That said, my second wedding revolved around cheese from Murray's and goddamn if the marriage turns out half as good as the cheese, S and I will be forever blissed.

S had no idea what a groom's cake was, and after I showed him this thread he now wants to have some sort of vow-renewal party featuring an obnoxious groom cake.

He is partial to the Copenhagen dip cake; hazard of marrying a Texan.

You are so so wrong about pie vs. cake, mookieproof.

"The body is cake, the head is a form. All is iced in buttercream and airbrushed. Many times guests do not realize it is a cake until it is cut into!"

Guests just think hey cool, Bambi showed up and is sitting on top of a table.

I'm very much from the Western part of the world, so maybe this isn't unusual:

No sushi in this one.

this is the most depressing thread on ilx. these are like greetings card for dads, except more specific, and with much more effort put in.

Mine looked like this:

I did not get a piece.

"Plains so into strawberries, him and his wacky hobbies!"

lol. you do love starring into the dark void.

The sushi cake is pretty great. Not as a groom's cake but just in general.

i am going to assume i did not have a groom cake because afaik i became aware of this phenomenon approx 11 minutes ago. possibly i was not paying attention.

Sure you did. Looked like this:

I think that these things are more of a Southern tradition? I've never been to a wedding that actually had one.

OH IS THAT SO ENBB

Has the hunter in that final picture clubbed the deer to death with a massive cudgel? And is that cudgel resting on a giant severed ear?

that crazy cake place

Bad taste, regrettable humor, and schlock are unassailable wedding traditions in much of the inhabited universe (see also: waving a bloody sheet).

Is the first one a DUCK HUNT cake tho?

Duck Hunt dog was brown.

And giggling, ALWAYS GIGGLING.

Hard to make cake giggle! My mistake. Still. Duck hunt cake would be pretty great.

wait wut

Non-wedding tradition Yankees used to pull on Southerners around election time to remind them of their treason.

wait wut

In the Balkans it was traditional for the wedding guests, who had been drinking all night, to gather the next morning at the house where the bride and groom had retired for their wedding night, in order to view the triumphant display of a blood-stained sheet, proving that the virgin bride had been successfully deflowered by the virile new husband. In a rural village setting, refusing to do this was unthinkable and tantamount to an admission that either the bride was a whore, or the groom was impotent, so that, as if by some miracle, a bloody sheet was always available to be displayed at the proper moment.

Tradition!

I've heard of that in Latin America too, but I only know about it because of some Gabriel Garcia-Marquez book I read
