Cake Anyone?
2 Dec 2006 — Cause it suddenly dawned on me that taking up the job in Maldives would mean I definitely won’t be back in Singapore till the beginning of May at the earliest (reminder: my wedding’s on 26 May), I flew into a mad frenzy with wedding preps. Yep, I’ve been uncharacteristically slacko about it. As I’ve said before, planning the wedding is turning out to be a monumental pain in the ass, and I’ve just been trying to put it off for as long as I can. William, needless to say, is more than happy not to have to lift a finger. There’s like a million and one things to prepare: cake design, ballroom decor, compile guest list, liase about gowns, favours, flowers, corsages, music, actual day photographer, videographer, etc, etc, etc. The list seems endless! Doesn’t help that I have to “remote control” the whole event either. And at least now, I still have broadband and cheap international calling rates. Who knows what’s gonna happen the moment I touch down on ulu dulu Maldivian soil?!? And of course, like all other girls, I crave the PERFECT wedding, one where every littlest tiny detail goes according to my infinitesimally meticulous plan which allows absolutely no room for mistakes. Hence, no wedding planner, can’t trust them. Hence endless painstaking, stress-raising, blood-boiling wedding-prep induced days and nights… As if that’s not enough of a strain on my blood pressure, there’s also my exodus to Maldives to wrestle with. ARGHHHHH!!!!!……….. Can’t. Breathe………
But enough of that depressing stuff. This was supposed to be a light entertaining blog, dunno how it turned into a major whinging session. Sorry folks.
So yes, as part of my research, I scoured through endless images of other couples’ weddings on Google and Flickr, and geez, some of the things that people come up with is nothing short of cra-zy, not to mention funny! So let down your hair, kick back your heels and take a moment to enjoy the Weird and Whimsical World of Wedding Cakes.
First, something a little tame…
Super Mario and Shrek — haha, some of us just never grow up…
…while others do, and aren’t shy to flaunt it!
And who says wedding cakes have to be all chiffon and butter-cream anyway? Whip mine up with meat and pastry, and pass the ketchup please!
Of course, there’s those of us who realise life’s not always cartoons and pork-pies, there’s also the dark side…
If you think this is creepy for a wedding cake, wait till you see what’s coming up next…
Methinks they took the “till death do us part” bit a tad too seriously…
And no, the macabre’s not just about skeletons and graves as this next cake shows…
I’m not kidding, this is a real cake! The story goes that the groom lost a big toe to a rampaging lawn mower as a child… so at their wedding, guests were treated to this alternative design for the wedding cake. “Erm, actually, I’m pretty full… just slice me off a cuticle.”
Other couples achieve the morbid effect without even trying…
I dunno, but if you ask me, it just seems pretty inauspicious to be hacking through a replica of your home on your wedding day?!!
But if you thought the above couple’s future’s not looking too bright, this next couple has got to be the AUTHORITY on creating an ominous cake…
Just check out the details, they’ve really thought this out from every angle
What can you say? Congrats and Good Luck cause you’ll be needing it?!?
