iPhone Wedding Cake – Oh, The Horror

Are you kidding me? Is this real?

Wedding cakes are no joke. My friends have spent thousands on their cakes. A normal work flow to choose a cake takes months. I’ve listened to many stories of my girlfriends agonizing over choosing a cake – and felt their pain, for I have helped narrow patisseries (bakeries in a fancy weddingish way), deciding the perfect color combinations, and picking the perfect flavors. Their grooms-to-bes would only have one role: participating in the cake tastings (read: hardly any say).

Now I see why.

Bobby Casey, a reader and fan of Gizmodo, had a “man” cake at his wedding, and sent the “proof” to Giz. When I first saw the picture, I was appalled. Don’t get me wrong, I will be the first to admit I love my iPhone, but as a wedding cake? What was he thinking? The cake is grey… and black… it does not even look… appealing. Totally inappropriate for a wedding.

Jesus Diaz (author of piece) suggests the Death Star wedding cake as a better alternative – which is exactly why a man should not be allowed to have a say. I would have totally suggested the iPhone cupcakes which are cuter and far more presentable than either of those disasters.

Am I overreacting?

(Thanks, Gizmodo!)
