Girl, do your thang

June 15, 2007 in Brides,Cakes,Unusual Weddings with 11 Comments

Remember yesterday when I mentioned weird cakes? Well, I ran across one yesterday while browsing Metafilter.

Courtesy of The Ghetto Fab, we can gaze upon this many-armed cake. I don’t know anything about the wedding it graced, other than the fact that the bride was channeling a sparkly Mrs. Claus and the groom looks nothing if not shellshocked. But you gotta love those giant wine glasses, right?

Naturally, after seeing these, I had to poke through The Ghetto Fab, which led me to another site, Tales From a Ghetto Wedding. To my delight, I found a number of even more horrifying images.

    Aw man, the tales of a ghetto wedding site is down :(

    I think yr Louis Vuitton link is all weird.

    Thanks for pointing out the borked link, mkb.

    And I have to apologize to anyone and everyone who wants to visit Tales from a Ghetto Wedding as the site’s limited bandwidth virtually guarantees downtime.

    On top of the Louis Vuitton explosion…that cake is just poorly put together. Particularly the two lower tiers on the left, it looks like the ribbon is either falling off or was never adhered correctly in the first place.

    I wonder what else they decked out in LV…

    There does appear to be a giant LV in the area of the altar, Wendy!

    I am inordinately amused by the heady escalator-ness of the LV cake.

    The “mothership” cake however makes me want to get a gigantic Durga or Thousand Armed Kwan Yin statue and have each arm hold a small cake and then put the serving utensils in the bottom-most set of arms.

    But then again I’m pretty weird.

    Sterlingspider, I want you internet babies! The thousand-armed statue as a cake stand is my idea of awesome!

    NtB, these pics gave me one of the best laughs of the week! Thanks!

    The only thing that could make that Louie wedding jump off officially is to have Kanye remix “Pachabel’s Canon in D” for the bride’s entrance.

    Where does one buy/acquire that much fake Louis Vuitton????
    THERE WAS A GIANT LV ON THE ALTAR!

    That being said, I need to go wipe up the diet coke that I just sprayed all over my computer while laughing.
