A bit off topic...

But in Australia, our wedding cakes have plastic icing (U can eat it - i guess it's called marzipan??) And we never do that whole shoving cake in face thing...

Is that some kind of tradition in America? And why are most of the cakes i see, butter icing? Or it's soft anyway lol

Just wondering...as i would expect the shoving cake thing would be a great capture for wedding photographers!!

Marzipan isn't plastic! A couple of weddings ago the cakes were chocolate which is a much better idea IMHO!

I don't know if it's a tradition to feed each other cake, but I suggest that the couple do it if they want to. It can make for good pictures

LOL, I love this topic!

In Sweden marzipan is ateable (spelling?) and it's not plastic at all... most wedding cakes are made of marzipan since they last longer in warm weather than whipped cream cakes (we don't have icing like in Northern Americas).

We do have the cutting of the cake and feeding eachother ceremony in Sweden, but not shoving the cake in eachother's faces. Although it's starting to change... I did that on my hubby.

Here's a picture of me and hubby playing with the cake.. note that the cake is both marzipan and with cream. It was 6 layers.

haha i know but i guess us aussies call it plastic icing, and i meant the stuff that you put on chrissy cakes etc...

Yes chocky cake is beginning to be popular, my brothers wedding is in 3 weeks, he has profiteroles so that could make for some nice shots of them throwing these puffy balls at each other (Theyw ill do that without me asking too hahaha!)

woah! 6 layers is lots but oh that cake looks good LOL!!!

We had a 3 tier cake, the top 2 tiers were foam covered in this icing im talking about, the 3rd tier was fruit cake with the same icing. Then we had a chocky grooms cake with a novelty bride and groom, the groom running away hahaha

Hey maybe ill post a photo of our cakes when i get home?

[CyberPet]

Yes, we need cake photo's!!!

Here's a chocolate cake from a recent wedding, after a bit of a play in photoshop. This is a low quality proof.

It's been proven (by survey I suppose) that those couples who shove the cake in each others faces at their reception have a much higher divorce rate than those who feed each other gently. A wedding planner I know well told me so anyway.

haha Serious?!?!
I didn't even eat any of my wedding cake....so hopefully that's the TOTAL opposite of what shoving cake in face is LOL!

Tim, that's a pretty cool shot! This thread looks like a great place to post cake photo's if anyone has some? Ill post some tonight!!

[CyberPet]

LOL!!! So how long will it take before we are going to be divorced then? I'm still very much in love with my husband, and I'm pretty sure he's still in love with me. But we've only been married for 3.5 years and been together for 8.5, so I guess it might take longer before the cake seeps into the skin - or something.

Hi Pixi - I'm with you - what's with the stuffing cake at each other thing. You definitely don't see that down here in Australia.

You mean you're too busy pouring Foster over eachother and stuff eachother with vegemite (or however that's spellt - taste like insulation).

[kawter2]

a bit off topic, but what is with the 666, do you have the mark of the beast?

[PIXI_666]

HAHA! CyberPet...im sure you are one of the lucky ones and we shouldn't look TOO much into these facts and figures, even if they are quite interesting!!

LOL@Vegemite & Fosters HAHAHA
Well i have to admit...we had beer flowing all night but if we had Foster's i don't think ANYONE would have been drunk (Not exactly the most fave beer of Australia!)
And as for vegemite...no i can't say that was in our menu...and can you imagine a vegemite fight? Ewww! LOL

666....well....PIXI666 is my numberplates on my car...i chose those when i was really into heavy metal when i first met my husband, we both went to metal gigs, and listened to the music etc. i never thought that i was a daughter of satan or woshipped him, i just thought PIXI sounded TOO cutesy haha so i needed soem BALLS in it lol

I get lots of comments though which is always fun hahaha

Del, Yeah I Know Fosters isn't really the great brand in Aussie land. It's like the question, "you know what the similarity is between making love in a canoe and Fosters is?" and the answer is: "Both are f***ing close to water!"
