Wedding aholic

So now whenever I flip through the channels on the television and see anything that has "wedding" in the title, I feel that I have to stop and look at it and take notes or see if I am doing things right. Some shows are kind of interesting, while other shows are very insane!! I actually sat through an entire show lastnight and it was interesting and crazy to me at the same time. It was on one of the baking channels, and the title was something like Outrageous wedding cakes. It dealt with 3 or 4 bakeries around the world, and their attempts to make the "perfect" wedding cake. People that have that much money to spend on those cakes are just insane!! These people actually spent days...no WEEKS to put these cakes together!! And while they were making them, I just couldn't get over the fact of all the edible things they had to find to make these cakes "perfect". They had paint, and laquer, and spray paint, and glitter, and blown sugar balls, and bows, and all this stuff that just doesn't seem right!! The wedding cakes were BEAUTIFUL when they got done with them, but after they spent all that hard work on it, how could you just take it to the destination knowing it was just going to be eaten!! That has to be a hard job!! And if it was my cake...I would preserve it and not eat it. It's like a freaking work of art!! I'd be happy with a confetti cake from walmart with homeade red iciing!! It would be nice to have all the money in the world to spent $5000 dollars on JUST my wedding cake...hmm...a girl can wish I guess!
