Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I don't recall the 2nd amendment being written into the standard set of wedding vows, but then again, I'm also not from Texas, where this cake was prominently featured at a real wedding this past weekend. The gun was carved from a chocolate cake layer and stacked on top of the chocolate cake base, then decorated with rich frosting. The base is actually the shape of a target from the IPSC, a group that supports sport shooting and marksmanship.
Perhaps it's a less-than-common choice for a wedding cake, but all things considered, it's great that people are taking these celebratory cakes in new and unusual directions. After all, there is no reason why you have to have a plain white cake with flowers when you can have wedding cupcakes, snack food towers or anything that you (and your new spouse) really enjoy.

It's fairly common in the South for the groom's cake to reflect the groom's interests and hobbies. As a wedding photographer, I have many photos of unique and different groom's cakes; everything from University of Georgia football helmets, to LSU buildings, to cake replicas of cars, and so forth.

Yes, Texas is great. Yes, I'm still married and still in Texas.

My husband does shoot competitively and as previously mentioned, grooms cakes in Texas typically reflect the hobbies of the groom. He's an avid gun enthusiast and was so proud of his cake.
