Been seeing these all over Pinterest, and I hate, hate hate them.  What the hell is up with Comic book theme wedding cakes?  I hate themes to begin with ( Senior Prom much?), but these just take the cake.

I wouldn't even care so much if they were Groom's cakes (they're at least meant to be a bit more 'expressive'), but these just spoil the sophistication of the wedding cake IMO

I actually love that sneaky Spiderman cake.  It's barely visible, most guests probably wouldn't even see it.

I don't like themes.  I actually don't like "groom's cakes" because it insinuates that the wedding cake is the "bride's cake" which is gross.

I agree with you. The Spider-Man thing is small enough to not be a big deal, and it's hilarious. I like a little humor though. I disagree with disliking groom's cakes. I always like more desert. I'll have a wedding cake, groom's cake, and maybe a random cookie cake just because.

Ditto. Love the little Spiderman. Hate groom's cakes. Why is it the groom gets to express his interests with a fun (and usually chocolate!) cake while the bride is only allowed to like white frou-frou cake? My wedding cake is everybody's cake, and it's frou-frou cuz it looks nice with the decor, not because I really like white frou-frou things. And lemon cake with strawberries between the layers and cream cheese frosting, because YUM.

Honest question about the naked couple. Perhaps they're just nudists?  Clearly the FOB is not one, but if they are nudists, perhaps other guests were likewise, um, natural, and people knew what to expect attending that wedding. 

I don't side-eye that nearly as much as the brides wearing far-too-revealing dresses.

I agree. It wakes up my inner feminist when I see Groom's cakes. What, brides don't have personalities other than "brides?" You have to placate the groom with a cake for his personality, because it isn't anywhere else in the wedding?! Ugh.

My friend's groom's cake was really a couple's cake. Half was for the bride and half was for the bride. It was cute and I wish I had a picture. I think her half was soccer themed and his was super heroes.

We're most likely doing cupcakes with 1 tier for cutting or saving. It will most definitely have a superman cake topper and I don't care who doesn't like it. If FI loves Superman so much to get kryptonian symbols tattooed on him, I say it's OK to incorporate in our wedding. 

I'd much rather see something a little out of the norm that reflects the couples true personalities than some fancy pants cake because that's what's expected of a wedding. Besides, isn't that the whole reason everyone on this thread hates pinterest themes that in no way relate to the couple?

yeah i never liked the whole over elaborate propsal, especially the whole must ask my fathers permission. that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. you are not property and you should be allowed to marry to marry who you want.

My fiance went and had 'the talk' with my grandmother, who raised me. I liked that he did not ask for permission- this was more about assuring her how seriously he takes marriage, telling her his 10 yr plan (so she knows he's responsible, beyond me just telling her.) things like this.

I too don't like the whole 'ask for permission' thing. My dad was irked he wasn't asked- but he didn't raise me, so he doesn't get that perk.

My fiance talked to my parents before he asked me. He did the 10 year plan, told them all about how he respects me and wants to support me, lots of wonderful things. Then my dad pipes up: "yeah, but do you love her?" In all his wonderful prepared speech, he'd forgotten to say that! It was cute.

My FI asked for my dad's blessing, not his permission. My dad said "welcome to the family... assuming she says yes." FI totally panicked that there may have been a possibility I'd say no. My dad likes to scare people.

Why, God, why?

If you're going to order these, spend money on these...  why not just throw sticks & leaves???  Drag a rake through your backyard, and BAM.  Free shit to throw.   *rolls eyes*

Unnecessary signs... We know the bride is coming, shes right behind you. We know you're the bride since you are wearing a wedding dress. And I don't think anything that has to do with the groom "running away" is ever funny or appropriate... 

wrigleyville

Are those camo fucking rose petals?

Bubblegum5586

WOW!!!! A cake made to look like the bride!!!

ETA:

Nothing says romance like a standoff between the bride and groom....

A girl I used to be friends with is having an orange and camo wedding. It's horrible...

FH LOVES camo, he's a very avid hunter, and there is still no way I'd let us a camo wedding.

That's a good question (My mom hates grooms cakes and said if the groom get's his own cake, mother of the bride/groom get their own cakes too. Um, okay mom). Though honestly I feel like the couple should just get a cake that they both really like. They are both getting married and should compromise on something they both like. *shrug*

We're having a chocolate wedding cake. Double chocolate with chocolate ganache and cannoli filling. Any suggestion to have a more traditional cake met with the fruitcake threat. Which I'd love but not sure everyone would.

How unappetizing is that? Mmmmm, burlap. Bet it leaves tasty fiber in the frosting.

Ew, now there will be burlap fibers in the frosting.

I want to open up an Etsy shop that sells ombre chevron burlap and just profit off the tacky. I'll call it Pintasy, where all Pinterest fantasies merge into one big blob of wtf.  OOH, maybe I can do centerpieces that have MY BIG DAY written on the burlap in big lace letters. Or a money tree that is robotic and actually pickpockets the guests who don't contribute. And instead of signs with cutesy poems, they will SING cutesy rhyming (And irritating but catchy enough to get stuck in your head) songs.  All the guests will have songs about cash bars stuck in their heads for weeks.

The special snowflakes will give me all of their money.

This is so you know if the groom is supposed to drink the wine or if the bride is supposed to drink the wine. Can't have bride and groom drinking the same wine now.

There are also clothes for champagne flutes: http://www.ziggos.com/products/bride-and-groom-stem-wear?gclid=CIK0vtvz-70CFU4aOgod8ngAkg This is so you know if the groom is supposed to drink the wine or if the bride is supposed to drink the wine.

Everybody gets to have a PPD these days. That wine bottle's marriage is NOT legally or religiously valid.

I agree that most of the pinterest stuff has got to go! Especially the burlap and lace. Never understood that trend. They really don't go well together.  Wanted to do something themed since I like unique things and I have been to a lot of weddings and see the same stuff over and over again. It's a woodland theme because my man and I love being in the woods, camping, hiking, etc. and it's  a lot cheaper for me than doing the whole traditional flower decor. Also, I ALWAYS hated the dragging the groom to the alter thing. I never understood that. Why have a symbol of something like that at your wedding?
