Redditor innkling got married on Monday and showed us the cake her new brother-in-law brought to the wedding. If you are from the Deep South or have seen the movie Steel Magnolias, you know this as a groom's cake.
While you may have some trouble with a cake in the shape of a cockroach, you have to admit that the execution is perfect. The only way it could have been better would have been if hundreds of little cockroaches emerged when the cake was cut. As it was, the cake had a delicious lemon flavor. The Greens are "wannabe entomologists" who raise and sell insects, so the cockroach cake was appropriate for the occasion, but her grandma, who hosted the wedding in her back yard, didn't like it. A good time was had by all.
If you haven't seen Steel Magnolias, the groom's cake was in the traditional shape of an armadillo.
