Tattoo's,Corndogs and the 10 most popular Wedding Cake Flavors

When its birthdays, baptisms and weddings.......nobody has as many friends as the village baker.

Of all the events that take place in ones life, it appears to me that nothing can throw a level headed person off of center as quick as a good old fashion wedding.

Weddings have been taking place since the begining of time so you'd think that peeps would have a handle on them by now.....NOT!

Wanna extract every ounce of neurosis out of a family member?????

Plan a wedding.

Wanna spend money that you don't have?????????

Plan a wedding.

Weddings don't discriminate either.......

Rich Man - Poor Man, doesn't matter......when it's time to say "I Do", people go mad, even the coolest kids on the block.

Not to long ago, I was at the tattoo shop getting some ink pumped into my flesh, when out of the blue, my tat-man Jason announced that he was going to get married.

I smiled and was happy for him, his girlfriend is really nice, and I'm gonna predict that these two kids will have a wonderful future together.

With that said.....when I looked at my boy, I could sense some trepidation.

"Whats up daddio?" I asked "Are you getting a little nervous?"

Tat-Man reminded me not to upset him, after all he had a drill full of ink that was capable of leaving perminant reminders.

Jason continued...

"Nah, it's just that she wants to have a circus wedding. She wants it to be outdoors, with a band, but she really has her heart set on corn dogs, cotton candy and traditional fare....dude, my budget is pathetically small."

Now Jason gives me a "I know it will work out no matter what smile" and then announced...

"Do you know how much it cost to rent a portable Port A Potty? I had to rent the truck version. The cheapest one was $1000, but that one was booked on our date, so I got pressured into getting the $1200 version.

Its like I'll have to **** at least 4 times that day if I want to feel like I got my money's worth?"

Then we got into cakes, wedding cakes that is.

I asked if he was thinking outside of the box on this topic. The tattoo gun coincidentially had more pressure applied to it at that point LOL.......

"I'm NOT thinking at all brah....I'm reacting, but to be honest, nah, I don't think she's got any specific plans for that. what are the most traditional flavors?"

I get that a lot, people desiring expert advice on a topic that I can only speculate about at best.

When your heart is having difficulty, do you go the podiatrist, just because he / she has a M.D. after their name?

As we finished up our appointment, I assured my friend that I would talk to some of my peeps and get some ideas together for his wife.

Whenever I look to fill trends I start with a national perspective and after get that information tucked away.. then I place it next to a more regional list of whats hot, and then proceed from there.

Just for kicks, I did a Google search on "Top 10 Wedding Cake Flavors" and the results were interesting. I read one column...a posting which had receaved a ton of traffic, and it listed the following as top 10 most requested cake combo's.......

10. Chocolate-almond cake, chocolate ganache, and mocha buttercream

9. Banana cake and chocolate buttercream

8. Coconut cake and lime buttercream

7. Hazelnut-almond cake, chocolate ganache, and raspberries

6. White cake, lemon buttercream, and raspberries

5. Chocolate devil’s food cake, chocolate ganache, and praline buttercream

4. Lemon cake, lemon curd, and vanilla buttercream

3. Yellow butter cake and chocolate buttercream and/or chocolate ganache

2. Chocolate devil’s food cake, vanilla buttercream, and raspberries

1. Chocolate devil’s food cake and vanilla buttercream

These selections seemed in line, but afterall....what do I know? I'm pretty much a bread guy.

But thank God this baker is an anal Pollack, because I decided to cross check this list against others, and when I did....guess what I discovered?

The site which listed these as trends in 2011, actually took this list from the NEW YORK WEDDING GUIDE listing of 2005.

Word for word.

So in addition to vamping somebody elses data, and not giving props to the original host....this current host didn't tell you that they were peddling fads that were 7 years old!

O-M-G....I don't suppose much has changed in 7 years huh? Why not put pictures of George W or Pokeman on the flippen cake????

People, I do-do my best to entertain you guys, but occasionally I do like to impart a little wisdom.

How many times have you heard me say "Recipes are not meant to be followed to enth degree, they are merely guidelines?"

Well I'd also like to add on to that with.....

"Never put your comeplete trust in recipes or advice that you get from the internet!"

I don't want to sound like a hater, of course I use the internet for assistance, all I'm saying is there is so many pitfalls that can derail your project, so proceed with caution.
