Battle of the Futurama Wedding Cakes

After being posted on Buzzfeed... this Futurama Wedding Cake has been making the rounds. All over the internet, everywhere the it went--My Pop Culture Brain, Comedy Central, Comics Cavern--there were various oohs & awes, but I say save your ooh and save your aahs.

In my best Paul Hogan: That's not a Futurama wedding cake, that's a Futurama wedding cake...

This is my Futurama wedding cake from my actual wedding, and it's not just better because it's mine but because it goes all the way. The other cake is like kissing your sister, while our cake is like impregnating your sister... see the difference? The other cake is just a cake, while our cake was something that could have been a disaster but turned into a beautiful bundle of joy. I imagine at some point the bride of the above cake said something like, "Ok, I'm marrying you, so I'm ok with the geeky thing, but it still needs to be a wedding cake." Whereas Mrs. Gnards said, "I want a starship up in my wedding, yo." And it was. Their cake gets points though for most likely being easier to cut. We were afraid to cut into ours not only because it was so beautiful, but because of the regular problems of cutting into a three dimensional cartoon spaceship (nose cones fall off very easily). And it was filled with dark matter... I mean red velvet.

Judge for yourself, for much like Highlander there can be only one Futurama cake. Although, instead of mortal enemies we should probably track this couple down and become best couple friends with them because how many other Futurama wedding cakes could there possibly be out in the world? We could go snorkeling together... or whatever couple friends do.

Nah... enemies it is.

Mr. Gnards, you forgot to mention that our far superior Futurama cake was recently listed on CakeWrecks' Sunday Sweets.

This was my cake, and we LOVED it. We are poor grad students (hence the Mars University theme), so Cakes by Natalie was pretty limited by our jar of pennies and plastic toys.

We initially aimed for a normal wedding cake with Fry and Leela wedding toppers (from a set my husband gave me for my birthday), but were convinced to go a bit further with it! And then it got on the internet.

Best wishes, congrats, and your cake ROCKS OUR WORLD! Cutting it probably made you cry!

@Sleeping_Ugly_ Maybe, there is room for two Futurama cakes in this crazy mixed up world. We still have a wing in the freezer, and we're willing to share. I actually gave my wife the vinyl figures for Christmas and we built the cake from there, and it was very hard to cut.

Congratulations to you as well, may your futures be filled with other random internet phenomenons.

Way to be trashy and childish i.e. "mine was better than yours."

Not to crap on your cake, but though this was more of a technical cakechievement, I'd prefer the other cake simply because when all is said and done, you get to keep the adorable custom cake-toppers. They aren't just the munnys you can fine on eBay....

Both of those cakes kick my wedding cake's ass around the block. Though, a coworker made mine for free. So there's that.
