"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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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
― ביטקוין (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 8 April 2014 16:38 (ten years ago) link
I think there might have even been something in that book about having to fake the blood because the bride's hymen had broken when she was a girl.
― ביטקוין (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 8 April 2014 16:40 (ten years ago) link
oh god, that was my first thought too, but I thought it was a joke.
― pplains, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 16:44 (ten years ago) link
I think (or something similar) was a tradition in several places/cultures. I would've been fucked because I didn't bleed at all which afaik is pretty common. I was in gymnastics when I was little and then took horseback riding lessons from 4-12 so there was a lot of opportunity for plenty of accidental hymen breaking before I actually had sex. Not that I'm complaining but it kind of made the whole thing a little anticlimactic. No pain and no blood and no real pleasure because I was so nervous made it all a little "Oh, that's it?".
― Airwrecka Bliptrap Blapmantis (ENBB), Tuesday, 8 April 2014 16:51 (ten years ago) link
Wise old grandmothers knew all about that. It was handy, if, say, a sheep was being butchered for the wedding feast, to set a bit of its blood aside, in case.
― in mark spitz's armpit (Aimless), Tuesday, 8 April 2014 17:01 (ten years ago) link
Basically, everyone knew this and the whole show was just "for entertainment and not for investment purposes".
