The story behind the wedding cakes

Sep 18, 2008 Author: User ImageMommyOnTop | Filed under: Marriage

Many people say that a wedding is a celebration of love between two individuals, so it’s just fitting that the wedding details represent the couple.

Among the many interesting things during our wedding, my favorite is our wedding cakes. As I am not into anything ordinary, especially when it comes to something as important as my wedding, our cakes represented things that the husband and I enjoy doing together. Without further ado, I present to you, if you haven’t seen it yet, the Frost wedding cakes. (Click images to enlarge)

LAPTOP CAKE
The husband and I are crazy about computer gaming. We have spent countless sleepless nights with our friends playing. Naturally, we wanted a computer to be present in our wedding.

PLAYSTATION 2 CAKE
Another thing we are crazy about is console gaming. mostly we played PS2 games, because that’s what we have. So there goes our second cake.

ROUND CAKE
The husband has been into collectible card games (CCG), particularly Magic: The Gathering and Legend of the Five Rings. Months before the wedding, we spent hours thrash-talking each other while playing Magic. So as base for our cake toppers, I opted for a simple round cake with the five Magic mana symbols on the side.

I borrow this pic from my old blog as I can’t find the one without the watermark.

CAKE TOPPER
I didn’t want the usual generic bride and groom cake topper. Luckily, there are many confectioners/bakers who do customized cake and toppers. I wanted The Punisher in a suit as the groom, and a bride posing like Sandra Bullock in this Ms. Congeniality poster. My supplier gave me something which was not exactly what I had in mind, but the small guns they provided were good enough to make up for it. It still looks cool, though. At least for me.

By the way, the guns were there to imitate The Punisher and Sandra Bullock’s poster for Ms. Congeniality. We never intended for the groom’s gun to be pointed at his head. It was supposed to point forward. But since the guns were movable, one of our groom’s men thought it would be funny if he pointed the gun towards the head. It was his idea of a joke. Some friends we have, huh?

There you go. A glimpse on how crazy me and my husband could get. I hope you find this post amusing enough to brighten up your day.

  1. Hi Mom — But you did tell why the gun? Or is this coming in a later story?
    Poor guy, most people have the gun (a shotgun) at their back, not their head for the wedding! :-)

    Thanks for peeking at my pigs for WW!
    We are sorta’ out of pocket for a bit due to Hurricane Ike.

  2. Hi Jim,

    I’m sorry I left that part out. I edited the cake topper part to include that.

    Thanks for the reminder!
