Wedding Reception Meat and Greet

December 8, 2009 in Cakes,Unusual Weddings with 10 Comments

Don’t like cake and, by extension, wedding cake? There’s always pie or pastries or chocolates or a sundae bar, candy buffet, and milk and cookies station. Cheese is considered a dessert by some, which means you wouldn’t be going out on a limb to offer a literal cheese cake. Or you could even skip dessert altogether with a sushi cake or a, um, pork pie cake.

That’s right, there be pork in them thar cakes.

“We are always looking to extend and improve our [product range] and hit upon the novel idea of a collection of giant-size celebration pork pies,” said Wilsons partner Andrew Green. “The pork pie wedding cakes, hand-crafted in our own in-house bakery, come in squares of ascending sizes of either seven, nine and eleven inches or five, seven and nine inches. They can even be personalised to include names, date and a suitable message.”

If you and your spouse-to-be absolutely cannot get enough piggy in your diet or your wedding, the Wilsons pork pie cake is one way to really load up on swine!

    If this had been around when Mr. Twistie and I tied the knot, he might have voted for it. And I might have gone with it, had there also been a workable option for our vegetarian/non-pork eating friends.

    And we vegetarians would have appreciated your thoughtfulness, Twistie!

    I’d wager that half our wedding attendees would have wet their pants with excitement upon seeing this “cake.” The other half would have thrown up into their mouths a little bit.

    It is the dude on the right who needs a shave. The one on the left has a respectable amount of stubble.
