Weddings and Wood

March 9, 2010 in Cakes with 3 Comments

When I went searching on this very blog for the overlap between weddings and wood (get your mind out of the gutter!), I did not think I’d find as much as I did. We all know that trees give their lives so that we can have wedding invitations that look like wood, but how about wedding invitations that actually are wood, like those from Oslo Press? From there, I found:

I never did think I’d see a wedding cake of wood. It’s not real wood, of course, but according to Melody Brandon of The Sweet and Saucy Shop, the bride and groom wanted it to look as much like real wood as a cake possibly could.

I’d say that she certainly captured the essence of real wood in this most unusual wedding cake. There were other cakes and sweets at the wedding, so the wood wedding cake isn’t all that big, but there’s a part of me that wants to think of it as being, oh, about as big as a pile of railroad ties.

With this level of detail, wouldn’t a giant wood wedding cake be ridiculously impressive? If not a bit odd to dig into…
