Meat Cake?

Meat Cake?

This post is a warning for all brides-to-be out there:

Do NOT let your groom watch wedding shows with you!

Why, you ask? Because there is the possibility that he may get some crazy idea from a show, and force you to make it happen. You say, “But it’s GOOD that he’s getting involved and voicing his opinion!” But I politely scream back, “Not when that idea is a MEAT groom’s cake!!!!”

Mr. Lab and I were watching an episode of “Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?” when one groom insisted on having a “meat cake” for his groom’s cake.

Mr. Lab, look away if you want even the slightest chance of having your meat cake!

It’s a “cake” made of meatloaf and “iced” with mashed potatoes. Decorations are done with meatloaf-complementary food items, like ketchup.

Mr. Lab had been watching passively, until the mention of the meat cake. He then perked up (as does every man at the mention of food) and said, “I want that! I want one of those for my groom’s cake!”

I gave him the stink eye. I couldn’t tell if he was serious, or just pulling my leg because I obviously had a look of horror on my face. I mean, I love meatloaf as much as he does, but not for our wedding! Maybe for his next birthday or something, but not for the wedding! Besides, I already had plans for his groom’s cake that I was keeping secret as a surprise for him…

I’m currently searching for a baker for both the wedding and groom’s cake. For Mr. Lab’s cake, I was planning on presenting him with a replica of Sanford Stadium, since the Georgia Bulldogs are so important to both of us. Okay, maybe it won’t look as good as one of Duff Goldman’s Charm City Cakes (like this one of Wrigley Field, shown above), but it will sure be better than this:

I’m really hoping Mr. Lab is playing around with this one. I can usually tell when he’s joking, but I’m not so sure on this one. He’s barely made any requests for the wedding (ironically, the only real requests he’s made have been on the menu items—food again!). And to make matters worse, I feel like I’ll have to comply, since he has had SO FEW requests for our wedding. I mean, it is the GROOM’S cake, not mine. But I’ll be sad that my “UGA table” idea will be nixed if this goes through. I planned to have the Sanford Stadium cake as the focal point on a table, filled with photos of us attending football games together.

What should I do? Is anyone else experiencing trouble with a groom’s request?

Ewwww, I saw that episode recently! I love meat, don’t get me wrong, but in cake form it just grosses me out.

Mr. Bruschetta and I talked about the “scripty” font for our calligraphy/wedding invitations — he didn’t want anything TOO swirly…and so we found one we agreed upon, and are both happy with!

Uh yes. Well first things first…Meat cake? Gross. Your stadium grooma cake - Genius! Im actually searching around for someone to make one of the Horseshoe (Ohio State) for my FI since he went to school there and is DIEHARD Buckeyes. Anyhow, Im having an issue with him and…the BM dresses. Yes, the BM dresses. Theyre chocolate brown (The designer didnt make them in the proper shade of burgundy) and he DESPISES brown and black (aka the tux) together. I mean, hates that color combo with a passion. I cant even wear a brown purse if Im wearing black. Sooo anyone have any pics of weddings with that color combo? I might be stuck buying 6 new BM dresses lol

ahahahahahahahhaa. I LOVE that meat cake! It’s been circulating my emails! ahahaha.
The FI & his brother keep pressuring me for a Nacho Cheese Fountain at the wedding ala Ricky Bobby. I told him if he seriously wants one he can certainly have it. But I know he’s joking. Mr Lab’s probably yanking your chain. =P

My FI keeps insisting he will be wearing a royal blue tuxedo for our wedding. Not navy, not gray-blue–royal blue. I made the mistake of watching The Biggest Loser with him one night and he saw Felipe’s burgandy velvet suit, so now FI is insiting on a royal blue velvet suit or tuxedo. I hope he is just messing with me, though at this point it’s almost funny to me. Almost.

Gross, I saw that episode! Anyway, maybe you can look into it but not give up on your UGA idea. If it’s something you think he’ll love then go for the surprise! Maybe you can use the meat cake as cover.

Hilarious. My FI demanded the Chicken McNugget cake featured in the McDonald’s commercials….I hope he has forgotten about it!

Hi I live in the Atlanta area had an awesome baker for my grooms cake it was a total suprise to my groom as well, we did a Brown Trout rod, reel and a basket that was a red velvet cake. It all looked so real. Anyway if you would like pictures of what she did you can email me at amber2636@yahoo.com. Her name is Orna and she is out of Suwanee, she also does amazing wedding cakes I would have used her for that but my cake came with the package. My grooms cake was so much more awesome than mine I was a little jealous!
http://www.ornascakes.com/ Her website really doesnt do her justice as the cake she did for us was amazing.

That’s about the only show that my FI will watch with me. We saw that episode, and I thought he was going to throw up! Lucky for me, FI HATES meatloaf. *phew*

I really think that even if Mr. Lab is serious about the meat cake, he will forget all about it once your UGA cake is revealed!

All I have to say is it’s a good thing Mr. Gloss didn’t see that - he is totally a meat-o-holic.
Also, his only wedding requests have been food related as well - so far he wants to serve Buffalo Wings and Crepes….um - no?

lol! Russell and I saw that episode and he made throwing up sounds when he saw the meat cake. *phew!* crisis averted!

I actually like it when he watches bridezillas with me though because then he gives me hugs and says I’m a sweet normal bride and he’s glad I’m not like that. lol

… not that he would ever admit he watches… and enjoys those shows. hehe

When FI gets a *great* idea for the wedding, I tell him that I’ve got something better in mind that I’m surprising him with (we had a similar groom’s cake issue).

I should say, however, that I’m not actually opposed to the meatloaf cake and I’d probably eat a slice.

My FI has not made any crazy requests, but we did get into a little tizzy over the cost of the flowers. If it’s one thing men are interested in, it’s meat, and if it’s one thing they see no sense in spending money on , it’s flowers!
