It’s understandable that the last thing you want to see on a sports blog is a wedding cake.
But you have to see the craziest sports-related wedding cake any human has ever created – that Angry T is aware of. It’s the Gator Cake, a piece of art from Elizabeth Forkey the owner of EB Cakes in Toccoa, Georgia.
Everything you see in that picture is edible. The gator, its scales, the eyeballs. All of it.
Photos after the jump.
An explanation of the building process from Ms. Forkey:
I designed it and my husband helped me make the supports inside. Really the only supports are two pipes (one for each jaw) screwed into the bottom board. The head is rice crispy treat and the body and tail are Chocolate Almond Pound Cake. The little field on top has the Groom’s favorite Florida players and himself and his bride in Jerseys. This cake was pee your pants fun.
At first it looked like the gator was some plastic toy purchased at Toys R Us. And then we realized Elizabeth is one of the best cake desingers in the United States. Her portfolio is amazing, especially her Halloween work of hands coming out of the ground.
And this Fender guitar cake isn’t bad, either.
Getting back to the Florida Gators cake, the bride and groom even had their very own Tim Tebow sugar character.
That cake had better be eaten because once UF hears about this we suspect they’ll be sending a cease and desist on using Tebow’s jersey number on a wedding cake.
Just a suggestion for Elizabeth. An ARod centaur cake. Now that would be awesome.

I’m curious about the details of the cake. Was the alligator primarily buttercream or fondant? And the teeth and eyes?

Wow this is amazing. I have a family member that does cakes and she was blown away. This is a true piece of art. And by the way GO GATORS…..we eat the vols lunch every year and as long as they have the stupid coach we will continue to do so!
