Thread about a thread but I don't care as that thread has been zapped. Forget the gender reveal cake insanity, what I want to know is what the poster who had a wedding cake reveal cake was revealing?

I only got to page 3 before the thread went poof and I never got to find out the answer. Angry What was this mysterious cake telling the guests. Someone enlighten me!

Totally reasonable TAAT. My mind is boggled.

Sad the gender reveal thread went. It was Mumsnet gold.

WellErrr · 06/09/2016 22:13

I'm also intrigued.

Reveals odds on how long the marriage will last in case you fancy a flutter Wink

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 06/09/2016 22:14

Well here's one idea!

Spooky

Helmetbymidnight · 06/09/2016 22:15

Does anyone have a reason, they can't marry??

You could have icing figures inside the cake for objectors...

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 06/09/2016 22:15

Oh. That didn't work. Grin

Tryingthisonefornow · 06/09/2016 22:15

Well done OP, I read the whole thing just for the wedding reveal! Angry

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 06/09/2016 22:16

Reveal

Oysterbabe · 06/09/2016 22:16

I assume she was up the duff and revealing the sex to the wedding guests.

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 06/09/2016 22:16

I suppose they're useful if you're not sure who the fuck you're marrying?

jumpingllama · 06/09/2016 22:17

It was zapped at the posters request which Mumsnet did on grounds of protecting the poster's privacy. Or the embarrassment of having any member of Mumsnet using kissing smileys on their post announcing they were having it deleted.

What utter self obsessed insanity - the gender reveal I mean! Have no idea WTAF a wedding reveal cake is but sounds like yet another way to part a fool and their money.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/09/2016 22:22

A couple of suggestions..

A large cake is wheeled into a party and the newly engaged couple burst out of the top to announce their news.

A small cake arrives in the post from your friends Claire and Mark and when you bite into it you realise you have a mouthful of wedding invitation.

A cake has a date for the wedding iced on the top and a photograph is put into the bride's FB page (most likely.)

I think a wedding reveal cake just has 2 contrasting sides.

That cake is amazing merry.

RJnomore1 · 06/09/2016 22:26

Dammit I want cake now Sad

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/09/2016 22:27

That's just revealing that you like Marvel Heroes though. Grin
Not a very exciting revelation really.

Lorelei76 · 06/09/2016 22:34

maybe it's something they do at the start of the wedding to show if you'll get given a meal or not?

so if they cut it open and it turns out to be full of sweeties, that's their idea of a dinner

if it's a cuddly toy pig, it's a hog roast

if it's proper decent food in quantities that will fill people up then a big smiley balloon?

can't think of anything else really.

HerRoyalNotness · 06/09/2016 22:39

Mmmm according to this post

cupofjo.com/2015/06/a-gender-reveal-wedding-cake/.

It's when you're pregnant at your wedding and reveal the sex when you cut your wedding cake. I'm too old for this shit.

GreatFuckability · 06/09/2016 22:40

the buildings on the right hand side of batman-tier totally look like they are giving you the finger.

PovertyPain · 06/09/2016 22:43

Is it just me and 1/2 a bottle of wine, but does it look like Spider-Man is wearing yellow gloves (the skyline) and giving the middle finger?

PovertyPain · 06/09/2016 22:44

Grin Fuck, I think I lurve you. Hick hick.

Buggeritimgettingup · 06/09/2016 22:45

Not just you poverty

OlennasWimple · 06/09/2016 22:47

I was wondering the same thing, OP...
