I've only been to one wedding with a groom's cake. I was so excited when I finally saw one. The only reason why I knew what it was was because of Steel Magnolias.

I live in TN, and grooms cakes are the norm here. :-)

My dad's cousin's daughter got married this past weekend. My parents were supposed to go but their flight ended up getting canceled, so they obviously didn't get any pictures. So I had to FB creep on pics for the cake because I knew it would be amazing...she's a cake artist and owns a bakery! Anyway here it is (I only wish I could find a better full picture because it's VERY yellow!):

(PS...her bakery's website is in pink & green...I'm pretty sure it's because she's a Delta Zeta alum!)

reminds me of bunches of bananas.

I'd love these (especially the first & second ones) if they were in any other color but black. Yeah, I'm still old-fashioned about black. And red.

Me too. Well, not so much red but the black cakes.

I agree, but I was picturing that last one in white and turquoise! :D

KSUViolet06 06-16-2010 03:50 PM
Yeah the black and white cakes LOOK great, but the risk of having black teeth is far too great to risk it. lol.

Also, I can't imagine it tasting very good.

Why not red? What's the (hi)story behind no red? :confused:
(I feel you on the black, though.)

You'll have pinkish red teeth in all your pics after eating it.

WinniBug 06-16-2010 06:02 PM
And red food coloring is usually pretty bitter.

My sister started using cherry Kool-Aid to help make icing deeper red. Tastes much better. :D

WinniBug 06-16-2010 06:14 PM
OOhh!! There's a good idea!!

When I saw this I thought of the drink 99 Bananas (which I don't drink).

Is that an IUD at the top? I don't have on my glasses. Other than that I'm impressed by the sheer size and the beautiful folds.

Black fondant tastes not that great, beware because I did order Captain Picard's uniform for my ex's last birthday (we were still together) and it was great except for that black part.

There was a time when wearing red at a wedding was advertising that you were a hootchie mama. It's an OLD tradition, and while I tend to ignore it, I think about it each time.

When I make tea sandwiches, I use powdered Jello with the cream cheese to color and flavor it. Yummy!

I saw something very like this (somewhere), only it had sparklers on it:

LOL, I still adhere to this! I especially HATE to see bridesmaids in red! I just think it's awful!

Calling Lucy Coe... (any old-school General Hospital fans in the house?) :D

I wonder if non-Western cultural influences have changed that, or if it's just been people saying "screw that" to tradition.

I picked "red" but let my ladies pick their flattering shade. I'm doing a bunader wedding if I ever decide again to get married, but since my ladies aren't Norwegian I think I'll just ask them to wear their own culturally significant ensemble, or a piece of one.

I like the intersection of background and how the US influences it (I am assuming, but not sure this is the same for Canada). White is a huge no no in a lot of Asia, and red is the best color. In my background we wear our traditional fancy dress, but the bride wears a crown. We also don't get given away, the couple walks together down the aisle, which I really like. There would be a procession to the church from the bride's home, with fiddler's and everyone would go as a big group. Since I'm grandfather and fatherless, I think I may go the give myself with my spouse route.

I have friend having an American-style Catholic wedding here and then an Indian wedding in her fiance's home in India. It's been fun seeing the difference in the traditions. She apparently dresses like an old lady because her engagement sari was in pastels.

It's a "T" for their last name :)

WinniBug 06-17-2010 08:35 PM
If I hadn't had a spring/summer wedding, my dress would have been white with a red bouquet, and my bridesmaids dresses would have been red with white bouquets. I don't see the big deal with red as a wedding color. :-)

KSUViolet06 06-17-2010 08:40 PM
Add me to the list of people who don't like red as a wedding color, but it has never been one of my fave colors to begin with. I jump for joy everytime I'm in a wedding and the main color is not red.

Kappamd 06-17-2010 08:47 PM
I'm on that list too. I went to a wedding a few weekends ago where the colors were red and white. I thought it was a bit garish, especially for a spring wedding.

Oh, well I don't think the same thing with regards to Indian or other non-western style weddings because that is their tradition. I'm speaking strictly in terms of U.S./Western weddings. I just find it unappealling. Although I have seen western weddings where the bride wears read and enjoyed them visually, but I think it's because I'm so familiar with the Indian-style red wedding dress.

But hey, people can do whatever they want, and I feel free to comment on the pictures! LOL! ;) I also have found that the western-style "red weddings" haven't proven to be good luck for the folks I personally know who've done it.

Oh I don't mean that people are necessarily having Indian-style weddings with no Indian people involved, just wondering if it's younger generations flipping tradition the bird or if it is exposure to other cultures that inspired people to break the "rules."

Also, Black/White/Red was (is?) in so it doesn't surprise me if there have been a lot of weddings themed similarly.

BabyPiNK_FL 06-17-2010 11:57 PM
I LOVE a black and white evening wedding, they look gorgeous especially if you have money to throw into the glitz and glam needed to pull it off like lighting and crystals. I wouldn't do one because black also happens to be one of those no-no colors for me. I am surely my mother's child. We do our best to avoid even wearing it to a wedding although it sometimes can't be helped.

Looks like I'm not the only one who likes off the shoulder with some sleeve look! Although, that much
too much train for my liking.

Yes, the Groom isn't exactly a pinup boy.
