    The Art of compromise

    With great cake comes great responsibility.

    UK couple Kia Parsons and Billy Bunning came to the perfect compromise over their wedding cake. While Parsons had her heart set on something traditional, her fiancé was hoping for something a little more fun to represent his love of superheroes.

    Their solution was a stunning cake that is all flowers and lace in the front and a marriage of Marvel and DC Comics heroes in the back.




    While most people think of cake in terms of flavor, the real beauty of this cake is all in the details. The prim, white frosting gets pulled back like a cape, revealing some of comic books' most noble vigilantes like Captain America, Spider-Man, Batman and Ironman.

    The cake was created by Julia Baker of Tier by Tier cake design in Milton Keynes, England. According to the Huffington Post UK, the entire confection took 40 hours to create — spending 12 hours creating the intricate flower design and 28 on baking and building.

    Parsons and Bunning got married on Aug. 14. It almost seems sad to cut up such a beautiful masterpiece — but no one can say no to free cake.

    Sorry, without Superman...that cake can spoil for all I care, lol...

    Not exactly a fair distribution, three Marvel superheroes and just one DC.

    Bad cake...I refuse to have a slice, lol...

          I'd take Iron Man out, and replace him with Superman...S insignia and Fortress of Solitude, that way you have Marvel and DC evenly represented...then you would've had a truly awesome cake indeed.

            I wonder if they saved the Captain America tier to eat of their 1st Anniversary? And even if there's only 1 DC hero, it's still an awesome cake!

                Not just compromise, but also a good amount of creativity & humor; some of the keys to a happy marriage.

                  ...but yeah, Superman would've been a better choice than Iron Man. Kids today (SMH).

                      A local bakery near me just posted this cake. I'm beginning to see a theme here. I honestly think we're seeing the ripple effects of that terrible Man of Steel movie. Kids and adults are choosing Iron Man over Superman on their cakes.

                        Iron Man 3, Iron Man 3, Iron Man 3....Man of Steel is a quadrillion times better than Iron Man 3...well...any Pauley Shore and Tom Green movie is better than Iron Man 3, but you get my point...

                          Man of Steel is NOT a terrible film...might not be the traditional Superman movie...but definitely not terrible.
