"Another imaginative wedding cake (or in this case, a groom’s cake), had its origins in as unlikely a place as the pig barn at the Oklahoma State Fair. That was where the future bride and groom met. They were agriculture students at Oklahoma State University, “showing” pigs for the school. The details of how they met became a central part of their story as a couple. Accordingly, they asked Jennifer Jones of Icing On The Top to construct their story through cake so that they could exhibit it at their wedding reception.
The cake depicts Oklahoma State mascot “Pistol Pete” riding atop a pig. When finished, the cake was three feet high, weighing 125 pounds. The final result is both impressive and hilarious.
But it was also a monumental undertaking."
This wedding cake tells this couple's love story. It is art. It is speech. To compel a cake artist to create such a cake is to compel speech.
