My Super Awesome Wedding Cake


Yes, those are anime action figures. I couldn't find a 'reluctant bride,' so we went with these.

3. Thanks! It Was Delicious, Too
It's not my design - the baker who made our cake does such fantastic work we just let her do whatever she thought would look good, since she has more experience designing cakes than us by about a 1000%.

4. Our Wedding = GeekFest 2007
All the guests were either software engineers or some other high-level geek; these photo was taken by one of my friends who is a big-time anime fan. There'll be cake pix on an anime fansite within a day or so.

(Ask yer woman for the super-secret hURL if you wanna see more wedding pix)

:thumbsup: Great pics! I'm a geek myself, so for me, they all look like normal human beings should look like. ;)

6. *Most* Of Us Look Normal
The bride, of course, is another story. I'm really hoping that professional photos are, erm, Photoshopped a little to give the illusion of a neck.

8. Aww, You Two!
You and Heidi are the best! :loveya: And I'm not just saying that because I know what's being sent off to me, either - or that you say nice things about my iffy photos.

I thought the flowers looked pretty great - obviously, I wasn't trying to match them to anything; I just wanted them to be colorful and springlike.

9. Hah! Miroku and Sango!
AS anime wedding cake figures go, they definitely fit the 'reluctant bride' category. ;)

13. Wow -- that's a really neat looking cake
What flavor is it?

Haruka and I really want a ginger cake with Irish whisky (Jamesons of course!) buttercream icing and "embossed" Celtic designs. Our wedding cake person said they could do that. WE would like a Celtic-themed topper like this one:



Again, that is a REALLY nice cake. Congrats again.
