I had a Barbie doll cake once. I was SIX YEARS OLD.
A bridesmaid's job is to throw a fun shower/bachlorette party and to make sure the bride's dress doesn't get stuck in her panty hose. I think asking any more than that is just stupid.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

I did have an incident at my bridal shower that was similar. My grandmother and her sister, my great aunt, were perched on the edge of the couch in the midst of a sea of women as my evil bridesmaids proceeded to give me a quiz about my life...one of the questions being about a...um...recent purchase I had made at a local store. I believe the question involved the words "pink" and "vibrate".
Anyway, my grandmother said, "Where on earth is THAT store?"
And my great aunt piped in, "And can we have directions?"
Nearly died.

Summerland: not really enamoured of the whole marriage storyline. Simon doesn't add anything. Don't want her back with Jimmy, either, but, meh.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Can you get bundt cake mix? Or are bundt cakes one of those from stratch pastries? I don't even care if the damn thing's palatable; just THERE.
If I ever get married, I want everything to be STORE-BOUGHT and logical.
And frankly, I'll never worry more about how my cake looks than my friends jobs.
Ok. Done ranting. I didn't realize I was THIS pissed about the whole thing!

Bridezilla must have her Barbie cake at all costs?
Buy a $5 sheet cake from a grocery store and write "Math is HARD!" in icing across the top.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
At the last shower I attended, the bride was given Guide To Getting It On! by her best friend. Her fiancé's family was tittering, faking being scandalised, and poring through it and shrieking. They passed it around to me and I waved it on. To their raised eyebrows I replied "I have my own copy." I looked at the best friend and gave her a thumb's up.
The bride's mother and grandmother were there. I can't imagine admitting the existence of that book around my parents. But her mother? Called her back to ask "What was it called, exactly?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Bundt cake isn't just the pan?

Hee.
I think it's great they were enthuisatic. I went to a dear friend's shower, and her mother is SUPER ULTRA conservative -- Bible Belt Baptist, really naive and easily upset, and we had to be really careful what we said and did.
But for her bachelorette, we all went and got tattoos, so it evened out.

I always thought of is a pan thing -- it's a trademark, I think.
