When it comes to weddings, the cake is just OK. There. We said it.
We’re usually too busy dancing (or drinking) to bat an eye at a multitiered monstrosity of flour, sugar and too-sweet-frosting. If you want to herd us to the dessert table, you’re going to have to try harder.

(It’s a good thing the top tier goes to the bride and groom.)
