a non-traditional sort of cake

So while wedding planning I started nixing some trite traditions associated with wedding stuff and this was working really well for me until my romantic and sentimental fiance expressed some reservations. One tradition on the chopping block was "cutting the wedding cake." (Sure, sure you are thinking that I just was avoiding the inevitable cake/face smash, but truly i wasn't.) So we came up with this alternative. .. a cake pinata that we can smash together instead of cutting together. I have never actually made a pinata, so with some help of youtube and my amazing highschool friends, we fashioned a pinata for the big day. Here is a photo of the pinata party:

Later that night, after a lot of tissue paper reworking and some structural adjustments from Tom and Jeff, we ended up with this beauty:

Want to know what is in the pinata? Well, you will have to come to the reception and see what happens.
