Wedding cakes are towering fun. Elegant, multi-tiered, tall. Erect, even. Often cylindrical. In fact, don't they kinda remind you of ... well ... Hmmm. Have we just found ourselves yet another wedding fertility symbol?The Eiffel Tower has often been described as one of the world's largest phallic symbols. Is that why Blair Underwood chose it for his wedding to his wife, Desiree? In fact, one wonders about the great heights these celebrities feel compelled to rise to -- or, at least, their cakes. Four, six, seven feet tall? Gold-plated? GOLD-PLATED??? Is there some serious over-compensating going on, or what?
And it's probably just me, but for total phallic overload Pierce Brosnan's five-foot carrot cake ... takes the cake.
What's in a name?
