Let them eat fake cake
Weddings are one of the craziest money spinners of our time. It seems to me that when florists, photographers, dress makers, travel agents, hotels, priests and altar boys hear you’re getting married they automatically add a few quid onto the bill. Only that could explain why the average cost of an Irish wedding is now 25 grand. 25 thousand euro and that doesn’t even include the ring, the stag party and the honeymoon in Mauritius!!! The biggest waste of money is of course the cake. I mean, does anyone actually ever even eat the damn thing? Of course not, they’re too drunk, too full or too smart to bother with it. So why spend two grand on a glorified fruit loaf that will end up mashed into carpets and hair when you can rent a fake cake from this lot. Okay, they’re in the US and are probably not much good to anyone in Ireland yet, but surely it won’t be long before someone sets up a fake cake business here. The first ones to do it will make a packet. . .
Hilarious. My sister had a lot of foreign guests at her wedding and they couldn’t get enough of the wedding cake, had my poor Mum scrambelling to rescue the Top Tier (for the christening - old tradition - throw in a bottle of whiskey and it will last 9 months!!) You are right about no one eating traditional wedding cake here, but there does seem to be an upsurge in alternative wedding cakes (chocolate biscuit for example) Don’t these also count as Fake wedding cakes and therefore couldn’t it be said that people are already making a packet from that?
