Wedding Wrecks: Just Leave It
April 6, 2015 It's the latest budget-friendly sensation sweeping the nation - or at least a couple of weddings:
Leaves and twigs!
;)
Not only are they "beautiful," they're a great way to upcycle those lawn clippings!
Just grab a leaf blower, and bam!
;)
The cake's decorated!
Drape them for a drapey effect!
;)
Or just jam them all over!
;)
Leaves and twigs!
CONSIDER IT.
And hey, if that doesn't work: TINY PLASTIC SHARKS.
;)
Bam!
Thanks to Ann C., Adrienne H., Kim W., & Jen A. for the most baffling double-sided wedding wreck I've seen in at least a few weeks.

Let the sneezing begin if I got anywhere near all of those at once lmao. Wow. Honestly hope they checked for bugs before putting some of that stuff on the cake. Yuck just thinking about that lol.
And here in Washington (or in Colorado), I'm sure such cakes would be decorated with more magic green stuff. Weeded bliss, indeed!
Those first four are actually half-decent looking, actually. They say spring wedding.
I think the first one is especially tasteful.
They've found such a nice way to remember their first roll in the hay. Or clover, maybe.
I am a huge Sharknado fan (in fact, I once accidentally said "Sharknado is f--king awesome" to a customer; in my defense, he was wearing a Sharknado hat, I had just seen the Sharknado Rifftrax in theaters days before, and Sharknado 2 was premiering that night), so that last cake would actually completely rule for me.
@VaBeach alemaP: I saw your comment late, so you may not see this, but I've always thought that Alan Alda's "Hawkeye Pierce" (MASH) and Bugs B. had kind of the same "tone"of snark...
MY. EX. SPOUSE.
Aside from the fact that he went to the decorator and CHANGED what I wanted WITHOUT telling me, the decorator got lost on the way to the venue, it was whipped topping so IT MELTED....and unbeknowst to me while I was dressing, the EX took some fake flowers from the decorations, shoved them between the cakes on top of each other, got Cool Whip from the venue kitchen and tried to cover the melted spots.
Yeah.
When I came into the reception area after the ceremony, I nearly screamed.
Of course, the cake was only a tiny fraction as to why we divorced.....>_>
Is it bad that I am now wanting a Sharknado cake for my wedding..?
Look at the bright side, the toothpicks are included! I wonder that someone hasn't thought of using dental floss in one of these. Better not give anyone ideas.
Someone asked for a baker ... well, I'm a student in a Baking and Pastry curriculum, and I was going to decorate a Croquembouche (French wedding cake--a cone-shaped tower of cream puffs glistening with caramel) ... with yellow jasmine, since I had it on hand. Before bringing my lovely flowers to class, I looked them up on the internet and found out that they were poisonous. So I went and bought some sweetheart roses and mini-carnations instead (those are edible).
I would like to think that any baker worthy of the title would know to do that, but I would not bet on it. The flowers could certainly be rinsed and allowed to dry before use. However, unless you have a very fussy baker, I doubt that you could be assured of organically grown flowers unless the baker herself or himself grew them themselves.
Also, I wouldn't mind using edible flowers on fondant as most folks just peel it off....ok, unless your age is in the single digits.
Just my two cents.
A Sharknado cake!!!
