I definitely like the idea of an edible centerpiece that looks flowery.

I'd go for a cake that imitates a glazed pot in a cool color (or white on white elegant basketweave) and then have edible flowers that are a bit taller

Even better, I think a centerpiece of cupcakes could be made to give a "flower" feeling. Because the cupcakes are stacked (like the bride, I'm sure). Also, a cupcake stack will be a good ice breaker at the table as people (inexplicably) get positively giddy over cupcakes. When you and the bride cut the cake, folks will grab their little cupcakes and will be all into it. I am on a permanent, never ending wedding circuit these days and nobody wants to eat the boring sheet cake cut by the bride/groom. In fact, some people even think the cake they're eating isn't even cut by them but instead, the kitchen has a bunch of slices they start handing out on cue after the cutting. Cupcakes -- *sniff*. Fringey where are you?

When do the B/G cut more than a slice? I can't remember ever seeing them cut the whole thing . . . it's always sliced by some professional with as deft a touch as Zorro and a bunch of plate handlers. Dragging a cake from the kitchen would take as long as these folks do to get it out (where it sits on the table while people get jiggy wit' or with it.

The Wikipedia talk page for the show says that they do speaking engagements, mostly at churches, where attendees are encouraged to buy autographed photos and to make "cash love offerings" for the family. I think the veiled reference to a job change with more flexible hours may be just that. Also, Jon recently accepted a free hair transplant under the theory that his receding hairline is the fault of his "stressful" family -- by which I assume he means his shrew of a wife.

In 8 years when it's in syndication, I'm sure I'll tune in and think I've discovered some new gem of a tv show.

It's called Jon and Kate plus 8 and it's on TLC. I have not watched it ever because it sounds terrifying.
