This dress is totally Patriot Chic. Who wouldn’t want to walk down the aisle in a spin on the American Flag? The skirt is so…reminiscent of a peppermint candy firework.

Don’t forget to whip up a cake that’ll awe your guests while staying on-theme. Consider something like this:

Mmm! How yummy does that look?! Break me off a piece of that flag pole! You could even force your guests to recite the Pledge Of Allegiance before receiving a slice. Just a suggestion.

Have a great 4th everyone!

I wonder if there’s any left for their guests? “Umm, I guess I’ll take some off the bride’s beard.”

No, really. What is it? Is it alive? Does it have a cherry filling? *shudder* Will they keep the tail in the freezer until their first anniversary?

The couple looks completely thrilled. This cake is exactly what they’d envisioned. I’m just having a hard time figuring out what that vision is. Someone please tell me – WTF is this wedding cake?

Before you shell out big bucks for a wedding cake that only a third of your guests will eat, consider the Recession Bakery and Chocolate Shoppe, AKA your local gas station! Hostess snack cakes have really come a long way. Well, OK, they haven’t, but hot DAMN do those things taste good.

Here are a few of this season’s yummiest styles…

This beaut is comprised of Twinkies, Cup Cakes, Ding Dongs, Ho Hos, Suzy Q’s, Sno Balls and Mini Muffins. It’s my drunk fantasies come true!

Feeling formal? I recommend the Ding Dong Decadence, pictured left. She looks fantastic when served on a polished silver tray. Or perhaps you’re keeping things a little more low-key? Try the Tasty Twinkie Tower, featuring adorable, edible and true-to-life Twinkie Toppers! (Note: “Cake Cummerbund” Bows cost extra.)

This version follows the KISS principle. Why bother stacking and shaping a fancy cake out of individual snacks when you could just unwrap-and-display? Takes no time at all! And yet, equally as delicious.
