PICTURE: Wedding gun cake - only in Texas
This was a real cake at a wedding I attended this weekend. Only in Texas will you run across a groom's gun cake. And oh yeah...it tasted good going down too.
The gun was actually a piece of chocolate cake on top of another cake made to look like a target. Icing was used for the detailed decorations. (Click on a picture to enlarge through Flickr)

Thanks to Boing Boing for picking up this link!

Hey! Congratulations on getting BoingBoing'd!
When you coming back to Technology Bytes?
I will be back on Technology Bytes as soon as I have something to report on. Anyone out there have a cool tech topic to talk about?
Judging from the shape of the target I would guess the bride and/or groom are members of the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) (as am I.) See http://uspsa.org/
The target is in the shape of the International Practical Shooting Confederation "Metric" target: http://ipsc.org/image/ipsctarg.gif
Can't do much with that gun... unless you're holding up a chocolate bank.
He's right it's a ISPC target and the STI Edge is a competition "race" gun. They're not carry guns, but strictly range guns.

You got IMAO'd too.
Oh. My. Goodness. The stars at night, indeed.
Well Matisse, I (groom) am a USPSA member, and president of my USPSA club in this area and exec board member of a large local gun club. Host 3 matches a month, & usually shoot in 3 others. Open (custom STI .38 super w/ C-more) and limited (2 Para P16's, STI Hawk, CZ75 Standard IPSC, all .40S&W).
BUT! Technically it's not a IPSC metric target, it's a USPSA target. IPSC targets don't have a "head", and are shaped differently, remember?
IPSC "Metric" targets have a head and are identical to the usual USPSA target. IPSC "Classic" targets are the stop-sign looking ones.
hehe. chocolatey goodness...
