Someone sent me this photo and it seemed like it belonged on the wedding cake for the characters in GUNS WILL KEEP US TOGETHER.
I have to wonder who had this on their cake? And I also have to wonder what the bride was thinking. I mean, come on? A handgun versus a shotgun? She’s totally toast unless she’s a crack shot. And she’s got that long dress to conceal a shotgun better. Even if she used her garter as a holster for the semiautomatic, it would take half an hour to get through all the $@#%* lace and crinoline just to find it, right?
I’m interested in this because I’m hooked on the tv show “Ace of Cakes.” Oh. My. God. The program mixes two of my greatest loves. . .cake and tv. What?
The show revolves around a punk baker named Duff who specializes in unusual cakes. For example, they made a cake that eerily (and a bit grotesquely) resembled a large human ear for an ear doctor. They make all kinds of cakes and the cakes don’t look like cakes. It’s be-yond amazing. Take a look at the Louis Vuiton cake. It’s a cake, that resembles an “it” bag!!! How wonderful is that? Probably almost as wonderful as being able to afford or get past the waiting list for said purse! I may be a fashtard when it comes to clothes, but when it comes to shoes and handbags I know my stuff (much to my husband’s disappointment, but it’s okay because I can live with that).
And check out the Indian Elephant cake! How do they do that??? Now, the cakes start at $500 and they have waiting lists for certain times of the year. My friend Michelle and I have our birthdays a couple of days apart in August and have told our spouses we want a Charm City Cake (that’s the name of the company on the show). So far, they haven’t flinched. Michelle wants a NASCAR car and I’m thinking of a giant praying mantis on the hood holding an uzi.
What do you think? Too over the top?
