Married to the best person I’ve ever known, we are just smitten with our two sons who are 15 months apart. Besides those things, I like to share recipes and visits to fab restaurants, museums, and hotels. Hi – I’m Ginger. I document vernacular and visionary art and art environments, and study Southern folkways, currently documenting 100+ Alabama graveshelters. It was topped with “his and her” deer heads.” “The groom’s four-tiered cake, covered in camouflage fondant, sat on a stump which the groom cut. “The focal point was a chocolate chip cake filled with caramel, iced in buttercream, and designed as a red snapper.” “The groom’s cake, a gingerbread house created to look like the couple’s new home…” “An armadillo red velvet cake, as a tribute to the couple’s Southern roots and one of the bride’s favorite movies…” In the lab’s mouth was a duck, wearing the National Champions’ opponents’ (Oregon) colors.” “The groom’s cake was fashioned as a black labrador, wearing an Auburn University collar, in honor of the groom’s alma mater. The plates were served with a lemon to signify that the POW and MIA were unable to participate in the toasts during the celebration.” Very nice. A single candle decorated the table, representing the prisoner alone. One wedding was a military wedding and included a ‘missing chair ceremony honoring Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action.’ “During the ceremony, an honor guard presented the wheel hats of each branch of the military at a vacant place setting. ![]() The groom provided a dessert table featuring lemon tarts, pecan pie tarts, and his favorite, sweet potato casserole tarts.” “…a four-tiered wedding cake for the bride…the top and bottom tiers were red velvet cake, the bride’s favorite, while the remaining two layers were Italian cream and traditional wedding cake. “Instead of a traditional cake, the groom chose his favorite Southern desserts, pecan pie and bite-size pecan tassies.” Genius.The weddings issue of Mississippi Magazine is out - it doesn’t have the best-ever innovations, but in this issue it was mostly the men who customized their parts the best: If this had existed in my childhood, soooo many fights would have been prevented. I literally mixed together a cup of flour, a cup of sugar and a cup of fruit cocktail with the juice. This recipe is seriously as easy as it sounds. I know that many of you will just be disappointed that this post isn’t about how to make the perfect “piece of ass” armadillo cake that Ouiser serves so delightfully… Another day, perhaps. That’s a cup o’ flour, cup o’ sugar and a cup o’ fruit cocktail with the juice… and you mix and bake at 350 till goooooold and bubbly!”. Truvy chimes in to explain, “Oh, that’s simple! You don’t need to write that down. Truvy is doing hair (Because you shouldn’t trust anyone that does their own… It isn’t natural!) while Clairee is browsing the index-style recipe cards for favorites to copy for her own collection (which I can clearly remember doing with my mom’s recipes when I was growing up), when she asks Truvy about the “Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa…”. The Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa Cake is a the sweet creation of Truvy (Dolly Parton) from one of the all-time best classic movies, Steel Magnolias. After recently seeing a friend of mine in a local theater production of the film, the spark to try to bake the famous cake was reignited. This recipe combines the best of both worlds. There is nothing that I love more than a super-simple, sweet recipe. ![]()
