Wow. I think Oprah has a challenger in the “woman I think would most want to make love to herself” category. ---

That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen all day. So deliciously tacky, it’s tackilicious! 🙂 Is it just me, or does the front of the wedding dress on the cake make it look like someone’s popped open her thorax and her insides are on display? It is so awful; I love it. ---

You’d think someone so self-centered would’ve felt a little bit threatened to have another bride at her wedding, even if it was an icing-coated edible doppelganger. ---

[QUOTE=gigi] The cake looks…roomy. [/QUOTE] You know what would have been fun?? If someone had _burst from the cake_! It would have a sort of mixed bachelor party and _Alien_ feel. Of course, it would have to be the bride’s evil twin – her likeness bursting from her likeness to _pick up the knife_ . . . I think we’ve got a horror movie here, people! ---

Of course she could have carried it further and had smaller versions made for each table, and an ice-Chidi centerpiece for the buffet, but then that would have lead to lots of “cold” jokes like: “Hey, why isn’t the ice sculpture of Chidi melting? It’s been cooling the food for hours?” “That’s not ice, that’s really her.” ---
