Speaking of, are there two cakes, a wedding cake and a "red velvet cake" (is that what it was?)?

Is there a need for two cakes at a wedding? Or, for that matter, dessert + wedding cake. I've never really understood why things come out that way so often at weddings. Or do caterers just want to ram the stuff down folks' throats?

I say, damn the cake and get the bar opened back up sooner.

Yes. You give the shitty cake to people give bad gifts.

Of course.

On the subject of recommendations, I read "Under The Banner of Heaven" by Jon Krakauer over the weekend. With the recent religion-bashing hereabouts, this book might be popular. It revolves around the murder of a zealot polygamist's wife (one of them) and child. The book is disturbing and interesting, but Krakauer seems to lose it, in a cohesiveness sense, in several areas throughout the book. So I cannot really recommend it.

Thank you for your valuable time.

That makes sense. So basically everyone gets one type of cake. Two pieces of cake at a wedding seems a bit much. Even if you need the carbs for the Electric Slide. Or even the Boot Scootin' Boogie.

I thought you meant that Dana would not get a single vote, as in, they would all vote off Jun. They vote for who they want off, right?

Anyway, since you called it perfectly, full props. What's your prediction the new HoH's nominations?

This is non-responsive but, at my wedding we had a four tiered cake with a different type of cake for every tier. I had a piece of each, and others were welcome to. Worked out well (esp for the piggy bride). That was the one thing I wanted for my wedding - lots of cake!

(and booze, of course - and a TV in the back room to keep track of the Leafs game - it was the playoffs after all)

WTF is a 'red velvet' cake anyway? It sounds squickily bloodlike.

It's a common groom's cake.

Uh, not for common grooms, but were groom's cakes traditional, it would be a traditional groom's cake.

btw, for the record, it was "Great Fuck", not merely Good.

Whoa. Paigow and Sidd? I seem to have a gap in my FB history.

I have seen two cakes -- bride's is white, groom's is chocolate. I suppose you could do a red velvet cake but I think they tend to have white frosting as well. Oddly enough, the last several weddings I've been to have had FANTASTIC cakes. Most of them had TWO fantastic cakes.

But now most people seem to be married, alas. Maybe they will start getting divorced and remarried and will get the cakes for the second marriage from the same place as the first. I can only hope.

I rest my case. Good cake is important to good people.

Fringey, while your second paragraph mitigates the problem, I am still shocked to see you posting about wedding cake.

For fuck's sake. Take it to ivillage.com, people!

See, that doesn't seem odd. Just a big wedding cake with variety. What struck me as odd was having, essentially, a dessert plus a wedding cake.

My my, someone's got her thong in a bunch today.

And despite loving Lester as I do, no, I haven't gone there. Can't tolerate the idea of sleeping with a guy who apparently will nail any woman, no matter how skanky.... with one obvious, and oh-so-pissed-about-it, exception.

It's not about celebrating the relationship. It's about eating good food, drinking good liquor, and hooking up with cute guys. I just don't tell the bride/groom about that. Most of the time. Sometimes. I don't tell them if they are a relative but not a friend.

Edited to say, actually I now recall that one of my best friends had crappy food and cake and the guy I would have hooked up with had to leave during the reception. I have remained friends with her, but am considering hosting the reception for her second wedding (if any).
