Poll: Cake Smash

tawillers · January 2016

(that means shoving cake in your SO's face after cutting it at your reception) I heard a discussion on the radio. Did you/will you?

NOLABridesmaid · January 2016

Heck No. Wedding cake is not cheap and you are not messing up my makeup, yo.

ShesSoCold · January 2016

Fuuuuuuuuuck that. I'd be pissed if H smashed any type of food in my face on any other day. No way in fuck was he going to do it on our freaking wedding day.

tawillers · January 2016

I'm so not into this. DH isn't either.

Maggie0829 · January 2016

I told my H that if he shoved cake in my face that I would be incredibly pissed. I didn't spend all that money on my hair, makeup and dress only to have it ruined by smashed cake.

Also, you don't waste perfectly good cake like that.

PMeg819 · January 2016

Why waste good cake??????

thefanciestbeckler · January 2016

I had threatened DH within an inch of his life if he smashed it in my face. He was good and listened to me.

I smashed it in his, but just a little.

ChelleJayne · January 2016

I don't think FI would smash it in my face, but I might do it to him

At my sister's wedding the photographer asked for me (MOH) and the best man to join them for a picture after the cut the cake.

While he took the shot my sister tried to slam the cake into my face. I say tired, because I have a good 8 inches on her and she missed. BIL slammed it into best man's face.

I got married some 14 years later. She was so worried I would pay her back. I was nice and didn't, but I sometimes regret not paying her back.

We did not have a wedding cake b/c neither of us like cake very much. However, if we had, we would not have. (We did a dessert bar that did have a cake option on it).

I did take a tiny bit of icing and put it on my H's cheek. But then I licked it off so I don't think he really cared. Then again I was a bit tipsy at that point so it was a spur of the moment decision.

I abhor this practice!

Me too. I'm usually not sappy and I have a good sense of humor, but I hate this. And isn't the reason behind feeding each other to symbolize taking care of one another? The symbolism is really sweet but smashing the cake is just tacky. Yeah, H, if you ever need help, I'mma shove that shit right in your face.

Same here. It wasn't anything too crazy, really just icing. I'd had a glass or two of champagne by that point, so I did it even though I hadn't planned to. Made for a few laughs and a cute picture though!

lnixon8 · January 2016

Was at a friends wedding and her husband did the stinky handwave "Whoooo-eeee" scream dramatically at all his buddies after he had his head up her dress to remove the garter. If I was here I would have smashed much more than the cake into his face.

But we just fed each other a bite and then at down to finish our delicious cake.

Ha! I feel the same and told my DH that if he shoved cake in my face he would have a lonely wedding night. He fed it to me nicely, but a small piece fell down inside the front of my dress. Our reactions to that on the video are hilarious.

Jen4948 · January 2016

This is NOT going to happen at my wedding-because an annulment and assault charges will immediately follow if it did.

mrsconn23 · January 2016

We didn't do the cake smash. I think if I had been game, DH would have, but I was less than interested. He did dip a finger in the icing and put some on my nose.

6fsn · January 2016

I threatened a dab of frosting on the nose, but didn't

banana468 · January 2016

I think there's a shot of the frosting dab but that's it. I don't *get* how shoving it is supposed to be cute.

princessleia22 · January 2016

Yeah, we decided right away that cake smashing would not go over well for either of us. We both get easily pissed about doing stupid things like that. And that really isn't how we want to start our marriage. Plus, I had spent a lot of money to get my hair & makeup done and our posed photos were all taken after the reception, so we really didn't want to screw up my makeup before our photos.

We didn't smash for these reasons - plus it's cake. It's meant to be eaten - not worn. And I do love eating me some cake.

thisismynickname2 · January 2016

1. Don't waste cake.
2. Don't ruin makeup and hair (this goes for the guy too if he has a nice coif).
3. DH said he'd annul the marriage if I did it to him; I agreed. We weren't kidding.

in the poll, i voted that we did the smash - but it was something like this ^^^ he gave me a piece, i dabbed some frosting on his nose, so he put a little bit on my nose.

lembaslover · January 2016

I told him I'd kill him if he did it to me and ruined my expensive makeup/hair and he said he completely understood and wouldn't dream of wasting cake in such a way. Yup we certainly are meant to be

GBCK · January 2016

I'd have killed him.
And we had a super budget wedding--but AWESOME cake. From the little italian deli in the city. It was amazeballs. no wasting that stuff!

We did not smash, I'm not a fan. I paid a lot for my dress, hair, and makeup. . . I would have killed DH.

spockforprez · January 2016

No fuckin way. I would go full zilla. Thankfully it would likely never even occur to my FH.
