We were all feel-good with yesterday's Food cover story on having pie at your wedding. Three delectable recipes, the sweet Paula Haney, a genius cover shot of a cake topper couple, mouths smeared with frosting, a real couple cutting lovingly into their wedding pie...
But there's always a flip side, isn't there? In this case, it's something called the divorce cake. The Seattle Times reports on a Florida bakery that makes cakes to celebrate a couple's demise. Like, say, a broken, heart-shaped cake with the bride cake topper on one half and the groom topper on the other.
The story even quotes a guy who has ordered a divorce cake to share with his other divorced friends. We can think of worse things in which to drown our sorrows, but still.
Sun-Times Food editor Janet Rausa Fuller is always thinking about her next meal.
