What's odder: The wedding cake or the groom's name?

A Texan woman had a wedding cake made into a life-sized model of herself.

Chidi Ogbuta, 35, had the 5ft cake made to renew her vows after 10 years of marriage to husband Innocent.

Healthcare assistant Chidi, from Dallas, said: "Growing up, I always wanted a doll in my likeness.

"So when we started planning our wedding I told my husband I wanted a unique wedding where my dream would come true.

"I told him I wanted a life-size cake in my resemblance, as I would look on my wedding day. He gave his consent without reservation."

The £3,000 cake took five weeks to make, needed two gallons of amaretto, 50lbs of sugar, 200 eggs and weighed a whopping 400lb.

It needed four men to lift it into the wedding venue.

Chidi added: "Originally, the plan was for two cakes, one of me and one of Innocent, but unfortunately we ran out of time."

Here's a link to the pictures:

I don't know what's odder. The cake or her husband's name.

All I know is that she's probably pretty vain.

The symbolism of figuratively eating her would have kept me biting into the cake if I were a guest. Much as I like frosting.

I love the look on the guys face when he's got the knife to the cake... right around her lady garden area.

Yeah...a few other words come to mind...
self centered
self absorbed
egomaniac
ignorant
tacky
(and other less appropriate names for a public forum)

Two things come immediately to mind.
1. They survived 10 years of marriage. In this day and age many have already had two under their belt and working on number 3. So Congrats to them!:clap: Not an easy task.

2. Innocent's parents must have had many a scrape with the law and figured the son would see plenty of days in court as well and hoped the name would give him an edge when it came time for verdicts!:laugh:

wow, yeah- the cake thing freaks me out. Let's just hope it's not RED VELVET cake on the inside!!! Like the armadillo grooms cake on Steel Magnolias!

I know what flavor that cake is- creepy, with just a hint of self absorption.:confused:

Gives a whole different take on "Having Your Cake and Eating it Too". :smt118

[Maggie-Doodle]

I would be curious to know how much it cost to make the thing...:confused:

It made me think of some of the cakes that are on "Ace of Cakes" on the Food Network!

Let's hope it's the only time he sticks a knife in her.

3000 pounds converts to close to $6000.

IGNORANT!

So she did all of that just for a 10 year vow renewal? What did they have at the first wedding I wonder.

[IGID]

Am I the only one that thinks that cake looks just like her?

No, I think it is a dead ringer. The scary thing is how scary vain that is. I'm all for having a healthy self esteem but that is creepy.

A learners permit???

I was impressed with the likeness of her that the cake had. It would definately be strange to cut that cake. There would be certain parts that would be quite awkward to eat as well.
