Boogery Sugar

** This entry was inspired by Miss Lovebug's blog on ugly wedding cakes. =)

My FI thinks that fondant is pretty much boogery sugar. In one of the recent weddings that I attended the cake was indeed beautifully decorated and covered in fondant. The bride mentioned, "They have to wheel the cake inside the kitchen 'cause cutting it and removing the covering is a nasty ugly process." Despite this, the cake was deeeeee-lish! I am also an avid watcher of FoodNetwork and when the cake challenges come on most chefs choose to work with fondant because you can do more artistically with them - but does anyone really eat fondant? I have to venture and say no, the judges certainly don't. Now you may know the famous bakery and star chef in MD whose cakes are crazy, wacky, and out of this world - sometimes I think there is more fondant than actual cake seeing that there is so much metal and construction that goes into making these "cake sculptures."

So back to boogery sugar - we are not doing it. My mother's close friend said that she would gift us with a wedding cake and this pastry chef is not a part of the culinary school of boogers! We are going to get a beautiful amazing cake with rich creamy melt in your mouth add some healthy pounds to your thighs cake! Screw the fondant - give me the real stuff that I can smash into my FI's face and lick off my fingers! I can't wait to go pick it out - stay tuned for pictures!

What are some of your favorite wedding cake flavor/design likes and dislikes?
