Cake overload

Can there ever be such a thing as too much cake? Well, I didn't think so. You know me, I love a bit of cake. 

But then I stumbled across a recent edition of Hello!/OK (I can never remember the difference) which featured the wedding of that Jonas brother with the medium-sized eyebrows. Seems like the kid has swapped his purity ring for a wedding ring. And just to prove that child stars in America get paid way too much, they had a SEVEN tier, Swarovski encrusted wedding cake. Excessive much?

I mean, it's beautiful, I guess. But it's just so gregarious and ostentatious. And above all unnecessary. I don't care if you've got a thousand people at your wedding, there's just never going to be a need for that much cake. I bet there were at least 3 uneaten tiers at the end of the night which, given the amount of wedding advice I've read in the last year, is just silly. Everyone always says not to spend a fortune on your wedding cake because people hardly even notice it. I guess the Jonas guests couldn't fail to notice this one though.

There seems to be a similar trend with royal wedding cakes in Kuwait. If you run a search in goggle images you will find the most outlandish cakes that were made for royal occasions that defy cynicism, imagination and gravity. I dread to think what they must taste like. My favourite is enormous cakes made in the shape of furniture, but make sure you have a look and find your own fave.

But nothing - and I mean nothing - can compete with the sheer wonderful arrogance and self-indulgence of this classic from Cake Wrecks. Words fail me.
