We've always thought of you as one of us, Llava.  I think it's because you're so fond of the spandex....

I just can't resolve the disconnect in my head- someone who would want a cake like that is actually getting married and might touch a woman sexually? Or even worse, reproduce?

Maybe it was the wife's suggestion?

Yeah that was the disconnect for me.  I can see any number of guys coming up with the idea.. but the woman actually going along with it?   :-o

You are forgetting about women like VL.

How can you eat a cake like that?

It's too perfect.

I thought it was my long, girlish hair.

And your dainty airs.

Yes. I definitely have airs.

Everyone on the internet is a man.


It makes life much simpler that way.

That is precisely what I thought.

MAybe it was a groom's cake.

I was watching "Ace of Cakes" (the guy makes all kinds of cakes like the one pictured above) on Food Network this weekend. They made one cake that looked like a Jeep Wrangler 4X4. They made another that looked like the building on the infield at the Preekness (however you spell that horserace's name). Both cakes took 50+ hours of work to make. The people got the cake, said "how pretty", and then just started tearing into them. Even though they know their work/art is meant to be eaten, you could tell it almost hurt them to see it torn apart.

I'd at least take a bunch of pictures first.

That is absolutely the coolest cake I have ever seen. Anyone have an idea how much something like this would cost?


Title: Re: Best wedding cake ever
Post by: Samwise on October 03, 2006, 05:50:59 PM
I'm going to guess somewhere in the neighborhood of $500.  Fancy custom cakes are not cheap.

Wow. That's certainly understandable though, considering the amount of work that must go into that. I wonder if I could get a cake that looked like Texas Stadium for my birthday...

Sure, if you wanted to pay for it. Duff (the guy who owns the cake shop pictured on Ace of Cakes) could probably make a cake look like anything.
