I said yes...Trying to figure out just how much you need to spend to kick off an engagement can be tricky even when you are not in fear of losing your job. Nowadays, it is just plain scary to drain your bank account so that you can encrust a piece of expensive circular metal with even more expensive shiny rocks. Unfortunately for you, that is kind of how the world works. Look at it this way, at least you get to pee standing up…. But like everything else in this life, it will cost you.

Now depending on how realistic, compassionate, understanding, crazy your prewife is, pretty much dictates the proportion of what’s in your bank account you get to spend on her new accessory. Even better would be if your bank account is empty. Then you can plead with her that you have no money and the credit card company lowered your credit maximum down to say…$1,000… what’s that, she knows you have more then one card?…you, my friend are screwed.

You can always try talking to her about tough times and the need to conserve every penny and would she perhaps consider this ring you got from the cracker jack box…Make sure you tell her about its secret decoder capability. Maybe she can find a way Read the rest of this entry »

There have been some crazy weddings out there. You remember the bride with the life-sized cake made in her image right? How about a Shrek wedding…Dressed as Shrek and Fionna? Sound strange? Yeah, well, go figure.

The story goes that these two love birds were a few months out from the altar. The Future Mrs decided that her hubby to be looked too much like Shrek not to take advantage of the opportunity. On their wedding day they hired a makeup artist and spent some three hours getting “Shreked” up for the ceremony.   Mr. and Mrs. Green (seriously…that’s their last name) are now probably on Holiday, sans the green makeup.

No word from Donkey’s Rep as to why he was not invited…

You knew Star Wars Groom Cake week could only finish this way. Either this way or with a Vader cake…but after seeing his nasty head in Return of the Jedi and watching poor Anican melt in the lava, ummm yeah…not so much interest in the Lord Vader head cake…
But to feast upon a basketball sized Death Star cake, well that is something totally different!

So what’s the running theme through all these cakes.. yeah besides star wars….. Someone is lucky enough to have scored their own perfect prewife.

Congrats gents. A woman who can understand, tolerate and even respect your crazy obsessions. A job well done indeed.

Not since Oscar the Grouch has a tin can looked so..well…lovable. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE was taken with the R2 unit when he hit the screens in the seventies. Cooler yet, was when we actually got to see what the little Tin Can was really designed for in the Phantom Menace (I mean besides helping Luke grease Imperial Tie Fighters…geeesh!)
So it should come as no surprise that today’s Star Wars modified Groom Cake is probably one of the best rendered confections of R2 in our Galaxy. Created by baker Mark Randazzo over at markjosephcakes.com, this Fondant and Rice Crispy creation deserves a spot in front of next to any Star Wars’ Fan boy’s wedding cake
