Optimus Prime Groom’s Cake

Annie from Bon Appegeek has gone and made an amazing Optimus Prime Groom’s cake for her brother’s wedding. Surprisingly this was one of her first forays into cake baking and decorating.

The base, helmet, ribbon, exhaust pipes, and nail polish-painted lights were not edible. Everything else, including the fondant and pastillage head, windows, and chest, were. They wouldn’t be tasty, but you could technically snack on them with your afternoon tea. I had originally hoped to make Optimus Prime’s head out of cake so that my brother could eat it with a spoon, but time constraints and the crazy decision to make this a secret groom’s cake made that too difficult. The secret was a success. He was surprised.

Optimus Prime kept the Decepticons from crashing the reception. He gazed upon the proceedings with stately calm, even when two different people (one drunk) gave the bride a piggyback ride on the dance floor. His lights glowed well into the night and protected us all.
