Bakin' Memories

So, you're getting married! Good work.

Now, the first thing you have to ask yourselves is this: "How do we make our cake memorable?"

And not just the "oh-that-was-such-a-pretty-cake" kind of memorable, either; I'm talking the "CALL-EVERYONE-WE-KNOW-AND-ALERT-THE-MEDIA" kind of memorable. 

Allow me to offer a couple suggestions.

- You could dance on the head of Cousin Itt: 

Or possibly a large hay stack.

- You could plaster a plaster cast of yourselves tongue-kissing on top of a badly-glued-together pair of sheet cakes:

(Hey, baker, that seam in the middle? SmoooOOooooth.)

Oh, and just to nip an impending Epcot in the bud, here's the uncropped version of Cousin It:

How much you wanna bet the guests were asking what a haystack had to do with all those pictures of mountains? :D

Thanks to Kate V. & Sten W. for the memories.

Note from john: I had to take down one of the cakes.  It was horrible but not professional.  Bummer.

Holy moley.. what on earth..why.. yeah I am at a loss for anything just looking at these cakes lol. Especially that first one with the topper. Wow. Just..wow.

I wondered how long we'd have to wait for our first wrecktacular gay wedding cake, but I must admit to being disappointed by the lack of fabulousness. The baker really needed a Sassy Gay Friend to help him look at his choices, particuarly the choice of a better design!

Stephanie, you might want to try despair.com or awkwardfamilyphotos.com.. Not as funny as cakewrecks, but still good for a few laughs.

if you need a picture next to the cake to explain what the cake is supposed to be, that's a new level of fail right there. IMHO.

I was poking around on facebook when I realized that the Cousin Itt / haystack cake was for a couple of my friends! The cake toppers look even creepier in the close photos.

I will not be telling them where I saw their cake...

That "haystack" is Devils Tower in WY from close encounters. Kinda cool idea but it should have been pretty easy to execute in cake if Richard Dreyfus could do it in mash potatoes.
