Prewife dot com. You proposed. She said yes…|NOW WHAT?

The economy still, well…sucks. Unfortunately, the cost of weddings seems to keep chugging right along.  A prewifer emailed me the other day asking if there was a way to save on some of the costs. Now, there are definitely ways to save for a wedding, just browse the pages here and you are bound to find a few. But this one requires a little talent in the kitchen. So unless you are skilled in the arts of culinary or know someone who is, perhaps this is more of a video to watch on your couch then in your kitchen.  If you think all you need is a little inspiration to get in the kitchen and make your prewife whole, figure that a typical wedding cake costs around $300 to feed 30 people.  Oh yeah, don’t forget to let the prewife in on this little caper as well, lest she show her disapproval. Better yet, bring her in on the idea at the beginning and make it seem like a relationship building exercise:
“Honey you can bake the cake and I will make the icing!” Hey, it could work.

Whelp, you just can’t go wrong by letting your man have a bachelor party and blow off some steam before he sacrifices gets ready to share the rest of his life with you.

And nothing really shows you care, a lot, about him then to blow scads of the little bit of cash you have left after buying that $5,000 wedding dress on his man cake.

We here at Prewife are always on the prowl for a cake worth to be called mancake. Today we have found a pretty damn good one: the engine cake… Feast your eyes. No word yet if the engine oil is 10W30 grade carmel sauce.

As we have been searching the interweb to find wedding cake ideas, I keep coming across some incredibly inventive, cool and downright crazy wedding cakes out there.

As I have said before, put the word “wedding” in front of anything and the price jumps by 50%. Use the combination of wedding and cake anywhere in the same sentence and you, my friend, are screwed. I have seen plain three-tiered white icing with black cake confections that can feed up to 90 people for about $1,000.

WTF!? That is 10 bucks a slice! I know that may not sound too expensive as you sit cuddled up on your couch or goofing off at work while reading this post, but trust me, come wedding night, after the party is over and it is time to settle up with the caterer, you will be saying WTF for the ext month.

But it is a wedding! Why all the negativity! Relax, enjoy, try not to think of the fact that you are spending anywhere from 10 to $40,000 dollars for just fives hours…

So, if you are going to drop some serious cash on a cake then, my friend, you need to go big! The more crazy the better! Just check out some of these cakes of mass craziness (tell us what you think!) after the jump! Read the rest of this entry »

Today I was going to utilize my gift for provocative and salubrious prose in an attempt to entertain and amuse. Then a friend sent me a link to the above picture and well I was left breathless and speechless with just a tad feeling of being redundant.

Confused? Well, yes, that there is a life sized cake replica of the Bride.

I’ll leave the commentary to you!
