Cake of Epic Proportions

As the wedding plans progress, we have decided to buy wedding insurance. It is something that I never knew existed, but looking into it, appears to be pretty sensible. There are a few companies on the net that are selling it and one of the common things covered is the wedding cake. It seems that it is a standard part of any policy to insure the cake to a value of £2,500. I may be showing my naivety, but £2,500 on a cake? My car cost less that that. Do people actually spend that much money on their wedding cake? Maybe that’s the damages you can claim if the cake falls on somebody.

All the insurers also cover the cost of stress counselling, although I suspect I’d only need that if we was going to spend £2,500 on a cake.

That's a lot of cake, my sister got hers as a pressie from 2 of her LSAs. One made the fruit cake (of which 3 variants were tested in the staff room below density/ fruit content was decided). Then the other did all the icing and sugarcraft (fab Sunflowers).

I think they rather enjoyed the testing phase.

£2,500 for a cake, you'd have to be insane either that or spending too much!

Perhaps it's to cover replacing it when someone drops it on the mornign of the wedding. You know, rushing to the next door wedding and offering huge wadges of cash to the bride and groom there to part with their cake.
