As some of you may know I got married in July... Hence my recent absence! Well here is my wedding cake... Now take a close look at the middle tier... Do you see it? Well just in case you missed it... Here it is...
My deepest condolences on the marriage thing, Piers! Now, I have to show these pics to my bf… he's got to see that there's someone more insane than me out there!
Almost too pretty to slice up and eat !! I was trying to figure out how they got your picture in iceing on the bottom layer.
Okay, since the wedding cake is usually controlled on the wife's side of the lines. How that tank wound up upon the second tier is a wonder.
Yea, i can't believe she let you do that. I couldn't even imagine asking that question. "yea, i wanna put a *cough*model tank*cough* on the cake, is that cool?"
Well... The cake was made by my Grandmother and neither of us knew what she was gonna put on it. Unfortunately for my other half my Grandmother knows all about early production model Tiger Is with the fiefel exhaust system... She has a thing for Wittmann you see!
Maybe instead of the bride and the groom at the top, you could have had panzer grenadiers for close support for the tank.
Okay, wife didn't go ballistic and call annull wedding after seeing WWII main battle tank on wedding cake, grandmother knows the exhaust system charecteristics of same main battle tank. Who do I talk to in order to get adopted into this family? Somebody tell me!
Congratulations on the wedding Piers! And especially congratulations on finding a lady willing to accomodate a tiger on the cake!!!
What Otto said. Besides, a long barreled Tiger looks more impressive than a short barreled StuG ..... especially on wedding night
Christmas is coming up soon. Tell her about this site and drop a few hints. http://www.incredible-adventures.com/texas-tanks.html I never heard of it before but it looks like fun. Just don't do it on a summer day like today. 101 degrees in the shade.
Checked out the Texas Tanks link. Thanks T.A. just what I need, another item on my to-do list. Looks cool, but pricey.
Your welcome bigiceman. As I said, I don't think it would be much fun in the summer heat unless you want to feel like our boys overseas.
Is that a little sign on the back of the Tiger "Just Married"? Congrats on the wedding Red, welcome to the ranks of the miserable Actually, my first year anniversary is coming up next week.. Yup, still alive - there is hope!
Congratulations. My 25th is coming in December. There are always skirmishes but it is still something I would never undo.

Same here! Many congrats... And a very nice cake. She must love you quite a bit to allow this.... In any case; Very nice cake!
