The everything-weddings website weddingcollectibles.com – in addition
to featuring a product line that offers brides-to-be nearly any wedding
supplies they’ll need – is showcasing a top 10 list of toppers that
reveal much about the couple who selected, and in some cases created,
them. From the miniature deer head that juts from the top of a
camouflage-iced cake, to the Mr. Bill-looking figurines sitting on
zebra-skin sheets while the groom fondles the bride’s bare breast, cake
tops can tell a story. And not always a pretty one.
The website’s list of “stupidest wedding cake toppers” includes a few
that defy reason, like the skeleton groom carrying the skeleton bride as the
two French kiss while standing over a tombstone. And there’s the
masculine-looking “liberated bride” holding the petrified-looking groom.
They almost look as if the groomsmen pulled a prank over on their friend.
And while browsing weddingcollectibles.com for a more traditional cake
topper, don’t miss the rest of the top 10 list. One image shows a Baltimore
Ravens fan’s attempt to pay homage to his team by having a taxidermist stuff
and mount two black ravens, then perch them (one with a black top hat, the
other with a white veil) over a football and on top of a cake.
The funniest topper of the lot might be one couple’s attempt to turn an
entire four-layer cake into what looks like a collapsing building. As the
bride and groom teeter on the tilted top layer, a handful of others in black
tuxedos (groomsmen?) are busy at work on the lower layers, cutting pillars,
spraying bullets, and causing the cake to tumble. There’s even a small model
plane broken and driven into the lower layer, adding to the destruction.
It’s a strange symbol of two people starting a life together. Hopefully, it
in no way foreshadows what’s to come.
