Hunting-themed wedding cake sends the internet into a firestorm - New York Post

A hunting-themed groom’s cake has Reddit users up in arms.

A photo with the caption “Immediately no. Immediately no,” — posted in the wedding shaming subreddit — shows a single-tier cake topped with a gun-toting bride who is dragging her fatigues-wearing groom. The couple is surrounded by a deer, shell casings, and foliage. Written on the front of the treat: “The Hunt Is Over.”

The picture was enough to get hundreds of users to weigh in.

One comment: “10/10 Bakers Points for the execution, but 0/10 What the French Fried F–ks for the content. This could be funny if Cupid had a compound bow and both bride and groom were struck by Arrows of Love or somesuch, but this ‘bride murders groom’ thing is over the top gross”

And a couple of others: “A trashy idea, but well executed. Can’t say it’s a graceful wedding cake though” and “I also don’t understand the purpose of deer there. Like if the bride killed the groom. Who is she gonna consummate the marriage with?”

Graceful Cake Creations told Fox News that groom’s cakes are traditionally a bit more over-the-top.

“A groom’s cake typically depicts a hobby or sport the groom is interested in,” Grace Tari, the bakery’s owner, told the news outlet. “The groom is a hunter hence the theme for the cake and the bride has caught her man so she is no longer looking for a husband. Just a fun play on words.”

Hunting, “believe it or not,” is a popular theme for groom’s cakes, Tari told Fox.

“You can find many variations of this theme on Pinterest,” she added. “I myself am not a hunter nor do I endorse the killing of animals but as a business owner of a custom bakery I keep an open mind when my clients meet with me to design their wedding cakes, birthday cakes, etc.”
