Confectionary Compensating
September 8, 2017 Men, we need to talk.
Ladies, if you could just give us a minute? Thanks.

[whispering] Right, then. Listen, guys. I know some of you might be "concerned" that your bride-to-be has had wedding cake in the past. And yes, she probably has!
;)
Hey, some girls have had lots of wedding cake.
And sure, ok, maybe they were fairly large cakes.
;)
Maybe they were even huge cakes.
;)
But that doesn't mean she won't be satisfied with a perfectly average-sized cake!
;)
(Ok, you can't see her face - but I'm sure she's thrilled.)
So even if your wedding cake seems a bit small and overgrown...
;)
Or perhaps leans to the right...
;)
Or even has a little trouble staying upright...
;)
...the important thing is to remember that your bride loves you, no matter what. The cakes of the past are the cakes of the past! No matter how massive and sweeping and awe-inspiring they may have been.
;)
Er...
And if all else fails, you can always buy a Ferrari.
Thanks to Kimber M., Anony M., Julia H., Tessa D., Adrienne H., Jamie, Rachel O., and Anony M., who can come back in now.

Thank you for that inspiring and reassuring post. We’ve come a long way in this area, and fortunately now there are bakers who know how to deal with this growing concern. I personally recommend the team of C. Allis and Vie Agrah – they’ve handled a lot of cakes and know how to make them firm and keep them upright for the time they’ll be on display and admired before they’re eaten.
Tsk, tsk, tsk! There should be a penal code to deal with postings such as this.
@just passing through: MEL? (Or is it just wishful thinking?)
TOO much! (No, REALLY!) Is the Towering Infernal cake at the end on FIRE? ((Cough!COUGH!!!!!!))
@SaraCVT: I caught a mel "vibe", myself! Maybe ......just maybe...
=^-.-^=
It's not the size of the cake that matters, it's the.. er.. flavor of the batter? Sorry, that metaphor got away from me there...
It's just cake ...right?
Be safe in Florida you guys!
Hey, wait a minute! Are we still talking about cake??
Ahehehehe
@SaraCVT and sendingtheclowns: good ear...thanks for remembering....
"When I told you to ice the cake, I didn't mean DRY ice!"
@mel, who's just passing through: How did you know I was thinking of you fondly this morning? The last time this was posted, we had a dialogue about appreciating what time you have with your loved ones that about made me cry. And then you show up! How cool was that?!? I'll always remember you...be well, my friend.
I wondered the same thing, SaraCVT an sendingtheclowns. We've missed you, mel.
I'm sure the bride in picture # 4 is "thrilled". Look! Her hands are not clenched in fists of rage or wringing in despair. Like the saying goes: it's not the size of the co**, er, cake, it's how you use it!
Please stay safe Jen, John, & your fur-babies!
The couple in photo 2 got lei'd before the wedding night.
Mel- I've missed your comments, too! Jen and John (thoJ)- I hope you are posting this from somewhere other than FL! Isn't it incredible how you can work from any where?
I remember when this was posted too, and I remember Mel too! Hope you're keeping well. I recall the comments about slice size and abundance of frosting... ;-)
Yummy Cakes !!!!! I loved it :)
