The Groom's Cake

Shelby: Wedding cake in the dining room and the groom’s cake … hidden in the carport?
M’Lynn: Shelby and I, we agree on one thing.
Shelby and M’Lynn: The groom’s cake.
Shelby: It’s awful. It’s in the shape of a giant armadillo.
Truvy: An armadillo? You’re joking, right?
Shelby: No, Jackson wanted a cake in the shape of an armadillo. He’s got an aunt that makes them.
Clairee: It’s unusual.
M’Lynn: It’s repulsive. It’s got gray icing. I can’t even begin to think how you’d make gray icing.
Shelby: Worse, the cake part is red velvet cake. Blood red. People are gonna be hacking into this poor animal that looks like it’s bleeding to death.

^^ Got to have this convo in my star turn as Shelby in my HS's production of Steel Magnolia's. It's what I always think of when I hear "groom's cake".

there you go, whiney.

oh that's upsetting on several levels

looks like a rat died on the cake while it was stored in the kitchen overnight. I assume that's some team's mascot. But still. It couldn't be standing?

No results found for "tarkus wedding cake".

;_;

I wonder how much it costs to get a water tower cake made. I want one!

The best thing about the Marlboro cake (which, lol) is that the ashtray is proportionately the size of a thimble.

I thought the thing on the football field was an armadillo (it's actually a really bad terrapin), so I googled football armadillo, and now I'm glad I did.

Keep expecting Gumby or Pokey to walk out under that water tower.

And then knock the lid off that tobacco can.

The armadillo cake is disgusting. It looks like fish skin after it's been descaled.

"Taco Grooms Cake" is probably the best idea on this thread of horrible ideas.

We also had pie!

Oh yeah. Also I was = drunk.

I want a groom cake that looks like Diddy Kong.

"Groom's Cake" sounds like slang for some disgusting sexual act

oh so it's like that, blogspot.

such a great thread

WHY DO THESE GROOMS NEED CAKES BUT ALSO I LOVE THESE CAKES

because they're afraid they'll get cooties from fancy lady cakes

I'm rankled by that. Women don't get bride's cakes, they just get the wedding cake. But dudes get their own cakes, because wedding stuff is all for ladies. Hmph. I want a moronic theme cake, too!

the wedding cake is supposed to be the bride's cake - she designs it and its color coordinated with her, etc. what we have here is a problem with the name, the wedding cake should be called the bride's cake.

although also it should be geared toward her interests like these are, sometimes they are tho its not v common i guess

The fact that it's supposed to be the bride's cake is my problem. I don't really want to get into a discussion about it, though. Suffice it to say: strictures on gender expression/sharply gendered division of labor and interest in traditional heterosexual weddings/wedding industrial complex blah blah blah fart zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

yeah i feel you and agree. she should get her own cake and not have her cake called "the wedding cake" in general as if it belongs to everyone. i think the best thing to do as a culture is institute a bride's cake that is made to look like whatever goofy hobby the bride likes and then have a reg cake for the cake cutting thing and the general populace attending the wedding - that is "the wedding cake". my previous idea that we should just transute the wedding cake into the bride's cake was deeply flawed obv

at weddings, i always try to grab a slice of the groom's cake instead of the wedding cake if i can. it is usually better, red velvet or german choc or something like that.

i am not a fan of frufru cake tho

We didn't have a grooms cake but we had cupcakes with little chocolate vinyl records on them, with labels for bands we both like. And a little carrot cake to cut into for pictures. I have never seen a groom's cake irl but that probably has to do with my liberal, strong minded lady friends.

if andy and i get married i am 100% certain that the groom's cake will be a pizza

I know that squashed dog cake is college football related but it's gross and upsetting and a nice encapsulation of why I hate college football enthusiasm.
