Hold Your Horses, Brides-To-Be
October 28, 2016 The day Jen and Nick truly became one:
;)
That moment when you realize your wedding cake looks like a giant stack of toilet paper:
;)
Ouch. Talk about a wipe out.
Or the moment you realize your wedding cake looks like... um... it... blew its top?
;)
But in a SUPER classy way.
(Tell me I'm not the only one seeing this.)
Of course, those are both so beautifully done I can practically feel your eyes twitching from here, minions. So allow me to cleanse your palate, as it were:
;)
Mmm, chewy.
And in keeping with the spoopy season, here's a wedding cake even the cutest bat topper in the world couldn't save:
;)
"I am vengeance. I am the night.
"... I am completely wrecked."
P.S. Speaking of cake toppers, everyone can relax, 'cuz I finally found it.
Here it is, the World's Weirdest Wedding Topper:
;)
Whoa.
Thanks to Charlotte H., Emily S., Gezina, Becky K., Amy M., & Beth R., who sees what I did there.

Well, I wish the last decorator would stop horsing around.
Does that horse have five hooves?!?! OH my word!
Last (inexplainable) image:
You can lead a horse to a cakewreck, but you can't make it eat?
Or stay awake??
Or want to be any part of it???
=^o.0^=
I saw it, Jen!! I saw it. Took a minute but then it came to me.
O_o
What do you mean? The bat topper one is cute. Sure, the ribbon's a little loose, but have you ever tried to gift-wrap a wedding cake?
Please don't squeeze the wedding cake.
Anyone remember this? Anyone? I'm old...
Is there a dead fish in that Toilet Paper Cake?
Also, did anyone ever get a Diaper Cake at their baby shower? Looks like a layered wedding cake, made with rolled up diapers? That's what cake #2 reminded me of.
I can't even talk about the horses.
I think that flower-erupting cake was done on purpose - I think it's actually a neat idea for a cake, especially if the happy couple are vulcanogists.
Ok, I see the chicklet and raise you two sticks of Wrigley's. The toilet paper will come in handy when that fish bowl tips over and the mother of the bride needs to mop up the floor. And that last one: will we be seeing that image on next year's Budweiser clydesdale ad on the Superbowl?
@Tomara: That's a gray horse hugging a brown horse.
Anyone remember Richandamy?
Well now I actually want to see a (well done!) volcano wedding cake.
The horse topper actually made me tilt my head on the side and squint. Still don't get it. The brown horse looks more like a foal while the gray one is an adult work horse and I'm just going to stop there before my brain gets me in trouble.
Since coming to this site I have lost my innocence. So yes, I see it.
What have you done to me???
Live fish and cake. Never a good mix.
A Krakatoa of flowers? No, it doesn't look like THAT to me, I had to think like my husband to force the perspective. :P
It's a shame about the second. If they'd gone with simple square or round bases it would actually be a really well done cake. Instead, it's a beach-themed toilet party.
I keep tilting my head, but I can't figure out the horse one. Like I don't think horses sit like that, or cuddle like that, or bend like that? But I'm not an expert so I can't be sure.
@SuBee...I remember it well my friend. Mr. Whipple, that mustached, glasses wearing store clerk, begging customers to "please don't squeeze the Charmin". We're not old, we just have good brain capacity for memories. See, I was but a mere child then I once squeezed the Charmin, I bet you were too!
@Classic Steve:
REMEMBER Richandamy? Aren't they still grossing out Jeremy or did they finally (literally) need some space?
@ SuBee -- I do remember, but can't remember the dude's name (Mr ? says please don't squeeze the...).
I too am concerned about a poor dead fish.
So embarrassed that it took me reading the comments here and on Facebook to understand the tower exploding with flowers....... I should have remembered where your mind always goes Jen!
The horse one looks like an equine Pieta. So sad!
I name the grey horse "Greco" and the roan horse "Roman".
This is a depiction of Greco-Roman wrestling, and a well executed "Sleeper Hold".
.... I have no reason for it to be on a wedding cake.
Oh.
Oh dear.
I see it, and I can't stop snickering.
Is no one else concerned that the bats on the topper appear to be suffering from white nose syndrome? It was the first thing that popped into my head. (Thank you, National Park Service.)
Well congritaluters Jen (orjenandnick?), you have done it. With one horse statue, you've finally caused that twitch in my eye to become permanent.
@SuBee, did you ever understand why Mr. Whipple didn't want us squeezing the Charmin? No harm could be done to it by squeezing. Maybe he was suffering from some sort of disorder triggered by the squeezes. His Tell-Tale Heart was TP, perhaps.
@Anita: Yes! Now, I DO see that...!! And yes...sad.
[Cake is not programmed to do that. Does not compute.]
I never had any desire to squeeze toilet paper, but I would be quite willing to take a knife to those rolls and pass pieces out to everyone in the room.
SuBee-not only do I remember Mr. Whipple, I remember him in black and white. Ohmygod! I am so old.
I think the reason the horse one is strange is that one of them is sitting in the other's lap, but they're quadrupeds and aren't anthropomorphized enough for it to even make sense for them to have a lap.
Ah Jen, just hop along, now.
I see it. ;-)
At least the cake topper of two horses cuddling looks like horses and not some odd alien or something lol. As for the cakes wow just wow lol.
KimS - The fish isn't dead. Yet.
That's the Old Gray Mare and her foal, and there's no reason in the world for it to be on a wedding cake. No, horses can't sit that way (except very briefly before they fall over backwards), and no, that is not the way horses "hug". But it's kind of sweet, otherwise. Those of us with children can relate to the image.
The flower volcano would have been ok if it had been a different color. Or more squared-off. Or contrasting color flowers to draw the eye. It's well done, but still...no.
Is it just me or does the "chewy" cake look like a coffin? Gives another "layer" to the wreckage.
I'm just still trying to figure out if Jen said "spoopy" on purpose or not. I am conflicted!
Is there some bass-ackwards place where it's okay for a mare to marry her foal? Or ... nope, got nothing. The bat toppers are lovely though, I'd have them as salt n pepper shakers!
I still don't get the equine one. Are they horses or goats?
Su-Bee - Please don't squeeze the Charmin!
Classic Steve - RichandAmy from the comic strip "Zits"? One of my favorite comics...
AngelaS - RE: squeezing the Charmin...I think it is a veiled innuendo about not squeezing the bum the toilet tissue is for! I kinda think Mr Whipple was a perv...And I guess I am old, I don't feel like I am; but a good commercial sticks in your mind no matter how old it is!
