I'm not a great fan of fruitcake (although I do love marzipan and icing) but this was great. The box it came in was even better, a lovely little white tin box with their coat of arms, names and the wedding date printed/painted on it with swirly gold lettering...

It's always fruit cake, marzipan and icing - better structural integrity for balancing multiple tiers. Plus it lasts forever, and you are supposed to save a slice for the christening of your first child, apparently!

Blogger is toying with me.<br /><br />#1 I get it -- Harlequin Romance, right? No, I don't read them, I've seen them advertised. The best literal is one that makes ya work a little for the reference.<br /><br />#2 A tad warm in there, was it? Suddenly I want hamburgers -- the good kind that drip everywhere.<br /><br />#3 I don't buy this being accidental -- the center of gravity is spot on. (Oh dear, it's spreading.)<br /><br />#4 Just maybe the intent here was to evoke Hearst Castle; you know, the early, early design phase when young William Randolph was down at the beach at San Simeon, playing in the sand and dreaming...<br /><br />#5 This one actually has potential; I wonder what it looked like when it was completed. (Zing!)<br /><br />#6 Aww. The touching finale to '(Making) Love on Poo Mountain', the timeless tale of two naked volcanologists who discover just a tad too late that they have the hots for each other. I could ask what happened to his other leg, but I'm more concerned by her seeming lack of a head. Maybe she should have followed his example and kept her helmet on.*<br /><br />#7 His effigy looks like 'Butt-Head'. Someone obviously put a *lot* of time into getting way fanatic with the details -- at least on her -- so it may be that time didn't allow the arms to be included. I hope it's something like that, because my first emergency backup theory is that the wreckerator is a fan of Sam Peckinpah. My second EBT is that the wreckerator went literal with the phrase, 'off-the-shoulder'.<br /><br />*Yes, I know it's a representation of a Rodin sculpture (and am frankly surprised it didn't trigger an EPCOT volcano of its own).
