I’m in the greys and I can’t add my pics to my story I just posted - so I’m posting the pix separately! Story will make this cake sequence make sense, I promise.

Not me, but my sister had a $1,000.00 (or more) wedding cake at her destination wedding in the Bahamas - they didn’t cut the cake until around midnight and by that time everyone was already pretty hammered. My sister jokingly shoved some cake in my bro-in-law’s face or whatever and then she proceeded to just take a…

Really a potential disaster. My mother in law offered to make our wedding cake for us. A nice offer, but fraught with potential disaster from the start. Problem 1: My in-laws live about 10 hours from where we were getting married. We don’t live there either, so when I asked about how she was going to make the cake, I…

Ok people this is share your wedding cake disasters. Not post pictures of your beloved wedding cake. Unless you are providing said cake to readers, stop with that shit.

My pops is black and my mom is white, and when they got married in the early 80s in buttfuck Colorado this was quite the anomaly/scandal. They couldn't find a black groom cake topper so they just sharpied in a white dude. Nothing says “special day” like blackface on your wedding cake

Less cake-related but rather young-family-member-meltdown-related ... My littlest cousin lives overseas and we’ve only met a couple of times - but we wanted to include him in our wedding ceremony when he was about 6 so we made him a ring bearer. By all accounts he was super excited until he got to the rehearsal and rea…

My aunt Bonnie’s second wedding was a small affair in Lake Tahoe. Her cake was from a chain grocery store, which, since it was located Tahoe, did regular wedding cake business and had a pretty large bakery section. My aunt’s fiancé, Steve, picked up the cake the morning of the wedding and came back to the cabin we…

Also, cuz I love sharing:

Had to delay my wedding ceremony almost an hour and a half because my friend who went to pick up my cake/cupcakes made the lady do them over while she watched. Apparently she’d just smeared icing on the top of the cupcakes (no cute swirl) and didn’t add the decorations my friend had asked (and paid!) for.

I wanted a 3 tier square shape, small and simple. My ex husbands mother claimed to be the cake boss of the rural south and “could whip that up easy peasy.” She kept me up to date on cake progress and everything she was super stoked, and I bought the hype. Come the day of our wedding (April fools day actually) we get…

I will help you pay for it if it says “because fuck Dan” on the opposite side.

My wife and I have used a Student version for years, still paying half the cost of regular Prime, and the only downside is no membership sharing. In other words, if I want to order something off Prime, I have to use her account.

Other than that it’s exactly the same.

As someone who is on his second paid year of Amazon Prime as a student, I can confirm that you do get all of the benefits. All it is is Amazon Prime at half price.

So it is a good deal for students, and yes, it starts out free and then is cheaper than a normal account, but there are some minor caveats. Student memberships get the shipping perks, Prime Instant Video, Prime Music, and can borrow one book a month from the Kindle Owners’ Library, but I believe that’s it (maybe Prime…

The student membership doesn’t give access to all of these benefits. Student does provide the 2 day shipping and digital media benefits but doesn’t allow for membership sharing. For half price it is pretty great.

Brave Sir Robin ran away

True story. My sister once raised money to save the Brazilian Rain Forest despite the fact that she’s not, in fact, a marmoset.

Working at a fast food joint, the manager was a really nice man who did charity work with immigrant children on the side, was endlessly cheerful, and so on. I’m working drive-through. Customer orders his food in heavily accented English, and gets abusively irate when I ask him (politely) to repeat his order. I’m…

Every time I see someone refer to it as “dipping”, I automatically assume it's like how Dairy Queen dips their soft serve into the candy shell stuff. Because dipping is a bad and dumb way to say scooping.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again — “dipping” is a bad and dumb way to say “scooping,” no matter where you’re from.
