Eat me.

Why go with a simple cake topper? A Texan bride of Nigerian descent had a klassy cake made for her big day. The company who created the brilliant piece. One of the master sculptors talks about AND shows us how she did it. Other cakes they've made. Well worth the 5 grand. Does this contradict empath’s statement that 5’4” people aren’t diseased?
I get it, but yeah, the last sentence is unneccessary.

Shouldn't that be "classy cake" (or "cace") or "klassy kake"?

The third picture on the CNN's webpage clearly shows the groom thinking "what the hell have I done?" Look at his eyes. HIS EEEEEYES.

I like how this turns the little "groom and bride" figurines on top of the cake completely inside out. Not to mention how the cake is all bride, no groom.
Especially delicious combined with the picture in the second link, with the proud bride next to her cake and the groom in the background, almost an afterthought.

This is the kind of thing you look back on years later and wonder why you didn't listen to your buddies about her.

Also, they really missed an opportunity for the bride to burst out of a cake shaped like herself.

You think it's funny now, but when the groom starts cheating on his wife with the cake topper, a once happy marriage will be ruined...

I feel like there's a relevant quote from Marie Antoinette for this situation, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is.

I think the groom's going to be one of those husbands who, when asked how he's doing, turns to his wife for answers.

Hm, well it is a good cake...well made anyway. And I bet it weighs more than the bride does. I'm assuming they moved it in sections and finished it on-site. Also, that last picture on CNN makes it look like they took the cake on a carriage ride but I assume that's not the case.

gman is definitely a 'tagging outlier', making his post tags non-useful but adding extra entertainment value. Maybe tags should be a 'no-joke' zone like AskMe is, but that's an issue for MetaTalk (and I'm not gonna be the one to post it, sorry.)
Back on topic, when the inevitable cake-cutting dissection took place, were there rules as to what 'parts' of the bride-cake were allowed to be eaten by what members of the wedding party? Because that's where it could get very creepy. But if not, can I request a breast?
(Also, what pernoctalian said. This poor dude could get traumatized just for going for a midnight snack! Comedy Platinum.)

Thank god there are still people who are willing to spend ridiculous amounts on wedding cakes, as it keeps my wife employed. When she saw this online, she said "bet they charged her the bridezilla tax" as well.

Actually, that last comment by me makes no sense.
I should have said that there are more offensive tags than "pastabagel".
I mean "nigeria"? Really? That's relevant to this story how?

gman, could you possibly also consider using something approaching grammar in your posts? Why are your sentences so fragmentary? Makes for a crap post.
Still, freaky cake.

This is one of those posts that made perfect sense not to click any of the links. The resulting comments were entertaining enough, and I thought, this is much more funny and surreal not really knowing what anyone is talking about. But then I clicked a link, and I was wrong ...
