on the cake


me: Wedding cakes are expensive, and I don't like what they taste like, and I don't want one, I want to serve whoopie pies instead because I like those and they're cheap.

mom: Oh, no. You definitely want a wedding cake.

my internal dialogue: No, I'm pretty sure I just said the exact opposite of that . . .

mom: And you can have them make any kind of cake you want!

my internal dialogue: . . . oh, even a pile of whoopie pies?

    You should make your own cake and then do a crossover with that Omnomicon lady. I bet she'd be okay with it.

    Agreed. Whoopie for whoopie pies. Cupcakes are getting all the attention these days, why not give some love to another treat from our childhood?

    My mom freaked about my no formal wedding cake idea... she's starting to get more used to the idea. I just want to get a bunch of really freakin amazing tortes from a local bakery here... no gross tasting decorations involved :)

    This cracks me up. I feel the exact same way about the cake. I wanted cupcakes. Gourmet, mini, filled with crazy hand-made cream fillings, topped with perfectly piped swirls of delicious frosting -- cupcakes. Then a sweet, well-meaning (as you say) family member decided she could just make AND FREEZE all the cupcakes for me ahead of time. And I'm pretty sure she meant Betty Crocker. After delicately extricating myself from that situation and spending HOURS trying to find an appropriately perfect cupcake vendor that was not requesting my first-born child as payment, my fiance announced one day (several months into my full-blown cupcake obsession) that he didn't want cupcakes. Serenity now.
