I became aware of it 50 years ago. The youtube is full of the push cake videos. Don't know if they are dated but to deny its existence is ignorant.
Hey, I am not promoting cake pushing but it is a thing. She probably should have went along with it and minimized the "action". Now do you believe for a minute that the groom organized cupcakes without the brides knowledge. That is gullible on your part.
I'm not buying this story. This is based on anonymous advice column per the article. The photo is not of this couple....the caption clearly states this.
Missing the point: it is about not listening - and therefore not respecting - to the other person.
Not to mention that grabbing the back of someone's head and shoving that person's face down into a cake is not funny. As someone who has baked more than a few wedding cakes and knows how they are constructed, the groom is damn lucky that there wasn't a dowel running down the center of that cake. Women are trained to be polite and agreeable, so there's a good chance that the bride in question went along to get along at the time of the incident.
This scenario reminds me a bit of my sister and her first husband and their wedding. Some of the crap that he pulled at their wedding was very indicative of how he began to treat her once they were married. Of course, she laughed off his antics at the wedding and reception, but anyone who knew her well could tell that she was humiliated and appalled at his behavior. Their marriage was annulled about a year after their wedding.

I thought there were other incidents where the cake cramming got out of hand.
This is from SNOPES:

Origins: Here’s a true-life wedding horror story straight from the pages of a 1993 newspaper. Heh, and you thought weddings were civilized
A bride and groom in Westport, Conn., got into a fight over the tradition of cramming wedding cake into the face of one’s beloved.
Tracey and John O’Donnell were arrested at their wedding reception Saturday for disturbing the peace. Tracey O’Donnell said her husband fed her the cake too roughly, after she had told him to take it easy, police reported. Fighting ensued when she responded in kind, police said. The couple were later released. They are due in court Sept. 14.

This thread is now closed. I've cleaned up the most recent barrage of rude and off-topic posts.
