<p>All I know about that song is that it’s been associated with the Boston Red Sox for the last few years, and is played and sung at Fenway Park. So, maybe at Boston weddings? Otherwise, ugh.</p>
<p>The east coast weddings I have attended have taken way too long to get around to cutting the cake, and we have had to leave before getting a taste…now that annoyed me…I love cake.</p>
<p>Any chance the Clinton photographs are in process? Were they digital? Today the photographers take thousands of digital images, snapping constantly hour after hour.</p>
<p>For photographers to cull through all those raw images, just to present initially to a host family, is a new step in a digital era, compared to when we had wedding photography shot on film.</p>
<p>Which 10 of the 200 snaps of Chelsea emerging from a car will they show to the family, for them to choose one…that kind of thing, multiplied.</p>
<p>That’s true, but on the other hand, they released a handful of photos from the wedding almost immediately!</p>
<p>It is not a tradition to play Sweet Caroline or to Not cut the cake. I think the younger generation is getting away from the “traditions” like garter, cake etc… not a bad thing IMO. Although the cake cutting is usually fine if they dont smash it in each other’s face. Sweet Caroline is usually played at Fenway … So Good, So Good!
I think it is classy the way Chelsea and mark did their wedding, as for the money, nobody was flashy and they had a lovely wedding for their child. I think Michell Obama can have any vacation she wants. My DH disagrees.</p>
<p>Accompanying a bereaved friend and daughter on a trip to Spain? Really, how can that be bad? Unless it’s politics speaking. At some point, the woman has to be able to be a friend and a mother, even if we politicize the wife role.</p>
<p>Back to discussions of cakes. I actually had a great tasting cake at a wedding we attended recently. I was told that it was a “champagne cake.” And for gluten-free cakes, though I cannot imagine that this was served at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding, there is an interesting Italian cake based on arborio rice cooked for a long time in sweetened milk.

<p>Mopre info on caramel cake, please.</p>

<p>Just saw this in the current issue of Food & Wine: <a href=“http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/revelatory-caramel-cake[/url]”>http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/revelatory-caramel-cake</a> Cake lust, indeed ;)</p>
<p>Oh my, that looks good. And I’m not even much of a cake eater.</p>
<p>As far as Cake Lust, you know, after a certain age, that sounds better than…</p>
<p>Wow on that cake. I’m a great baker, but that’s intimidating.</p>
<p>Agree it looks intimidating, but for all that caramel, I might just give it a try.</p>
<p>Or I could just make caramel sauce and eat it out of the pot :D</p>
<p>this makes it very appealing:
</p>
<p>I have heard that Chelsea is allergic to gluten, but that she is not, as has been reported, a vegan.</p>
<p>I’ve never been to a wedding where there wasn’t an official cutting of the cake, including my two Ds’ weddings. Also, I don’t recall Sweet Caroline being played at any wedding I’ve attended. Every wedding I’ve attended has been in the east, with the exception of one in the mid-west when I was a kid, so that was probably before Sweet Caroline was even written. 
At most of the weddings I’ve attended, the cake has been served later in the evening with the ‘sweets table’, and not as dessert during the meal. One of my Ds chose to do it this way, and the other did have the cake served as dessert.</p>
<p>Here it is, along with some photos of the construction process:</p>

<p>Do I win some sort of prize for finding this?</p>
<p>About the southern caramel cake, I am drooling! This looks just like a cake that I used to have as a child at Sanders in Detroit, yellow cake with caramel icing. I would never cook with all that heavy cream, though. I make cakes from cookinglight.com; they’re great.</p>
<p>^^Ding ding! You win the prize (not sure what the prize is!). </p>
<p>That cake is gorgeous!</p>
<p>Wow! It’s beautiful!</p>
<p>Classy cake.</p>
<p>I went to a wedding last year where the wedding cake was a dinosaur!</p>
<p>jym, really? I mean, my kid had a Barney (dinosaur) cake I made for her 5th birthday party. A wedding though? Someone didn’t get their dinosaur cake when they were little!</p>
