Wtf...

Homer Simpson as a chocolate statue is awesome, though.

Mmmmm, 100 pounds of chocolate.

Tami, like many brides, wanted her cake to reflect the joy of their union.

Shut up and put the honeymoon sex video on line, Bridezilla.

Put a noun (person place or thing) in front of the word CAKE in a Google image search.

99% of the time, you will find, that just like porn, there is CAKE of it, on the internet.

Strange things appear to happen when you combine those two rules. First hit for "porn cake" came up with this oddity...

I always love the colors of blues they'd use in water on cakes, if there was a cake with water I always wanted that bit. I probably have various diseases because of whatever they use to color it that awesomely, but it's a disease of flavor

How can conspicuous consumption NEVER be stupid or boring? Is it magic?

Lots of wealth envy on the newspaper commentary. Kinda sad to see people wanting anyone with money to give it away instead of enjoy the fruits of their labor.

How tall is a 100-lb chocolate statue of Homer? 2-3 feet tall?

One Testicle Trifecta is the name of my new rock band. Of course I'm going to have to use the number 1 and misspell both of the words for it to work with the kids.

I noticed that too. Fifty farking grand for stale cake? Good thing they had chocolate Homer to get the taste outta their mouths.

Inquiring minds want to know, what kind of hooch did they have?

$49,500 less than his and only took the person who made it about 3 days, not 2 months. IMHO, looks a hell of a lot better.

Never heard of this guy, but apparently Homer is his favorite... I hope he wins the Masters.

Comparing the pics alone, I'd agree. But based on the description, I'd say their cake was cooler.

Sorry.

The article never said or even implied that. I don't know anything about the guy, but even assuming that he's already taken care of his family and gives a substantial amount to charity each year, it's still funny to see a rich guy get reamed like that and be proud of it.

TFA:"We didn't begin with a budget of $50,000 for the cake," the confectionary artist said. "It just grew after we sketched several designs and redesigned the Styrofoam models."

Baker says much of the cost is because of the labor and the hours she and a crew of five spent on the smallest of details.

Edible sugar flowers with more than a thousand leaves and petals were painstakingly hand-crafted. Several specialists, including electricians, were hired to light up the crystal globes on the cake with LED lights.

Baker also designed the 55-by-55-inch wooden baseboard with experts from Home Depot. A huge hole in the middle accommodated electrical cords running to the cake lights. Steel legs withstood the cake's weight, which was never exactly determined.


C'mon, that's just being taken advantage of. Sadly, if he ever gets divorced, that's going to be the cheapest thing about that night.

Reading the article, Homer wasn't a chocolate statue, but a second 40-layer cake that looked like him... but the statue sounds cooler.
