LOVE/HATE: The ‘You Gonna Eat That?’ Edition
By Christa TerryWe’re all for creative wedding cakes at Manolo For the Brides, especially those that are a reflection of the personalities of the bride and groom! But how, pray tell, do you cut and serve something like this?
Created by Cakes By Lynette (who makes beautiful cookies, cupcakes, and cakes), this wedding cake features the bride and groom, their attendants, and various beasties. Is it a creative way to present a dessert? Most definitely! Is it exactly the wedding cake the bride and groom wanted? I should hope so! And is it just a little wacky? I’d say yes, though I’d stress that there’s nothing wrong with that!
That said, creative wedding cakes like this one aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. I’ve seen many more classic tiered wedding cakes than I’ve seen weird wedding cakes, and I’ve been to a lot of weddings in my day. I’m wondering where you, the readership, stand on the subject. I’m not asking you to rate this cake in particular, but rather cakes of its ilk. Me? I think I prefer something in the middle — I like colorful tiered cakes, oddly-shaped ones for sure, but your basic easy-to-identify wedding cake.
What say you?

Hmm. I like it, but not as something edible. If it were me, I’d have something this creative crafted in clay or resin so it could last; I’d place it near the cake, but I’d have a sheet or tiered cake as the wedding cake.

The more I look at it, the more I agree with Vis…
It’s a really cool idea, but I have trouble eating things shaped like humans and/or animals. So, I love the look of it, but I couldn’t imagine eating it, which pretty much defeats the purpose of a wedding cake.

I couldn’t eat that, either. Shellac it and keep it forever, yes; eat it, no.
