This morning we were in studio at KTLA in Los Angeles for a segment with Plan My Wedding. More on that next week. While there, we were prepping the three cakes we brought behind the set as the morning show anchors were discussing the passing of the great Elizabeth Taylor. They were talking to Larry King and we could hear his voice over a speaker as they interviewed him.
It was kind of surreal, as life in Hollywood can often be, and yet sort of a perfect little moment. I mean, Liz was married eight times! She had eight wedding cakes. We make wedding cakes! See the connection? In our own little way, we were saluting the life of Elizabeth Taylor without even knowing it!
But it also got me thinking, there's eight wedding cakes?!!! I quickly hit up Google to see what I could see. What does a woman of her stature and financial security do for eight different wedding cakes? Does she go crazy? Is she classic white? The woman was practically a professional bride, I need to learn from her!
Well, turns out finding a collection of all eight images is not on my side of easy, but I did find the original, cake number one, the cake that started it all:
This is from Liz's first marriage to Conrad "Nicky" Hilton. It ended nine months later and I can see why. Look at those tiers, they're practically falling over! Who stacked this thing? I jest of course, and as Hollywood neighbors and fans of films in general, all of us at Merci Beaucoup wish Liz and her family the best. A prolific actress and activist, she will be missed.
And I will find the other seven cakes!!
WOW, that dosen't look safe at all.
