Pork Pies Fit For Your Wedding

Feast your pork pies (eyes) on this:

What is this pastry-encrusted work of magnificence, we imagine you’re saying, well we’ll tell you. It’s a wedding cake made not from fondant and fruit loaf but from glistening, unctuous pork and baked-to-perfection pastry. It’s a Wedding Pork Pie.

This multi-tiered beauty is apparently becoming more and more popular with couples who are looking for something different to the normal wedding cake and pie experts www.perfectpie.co.uk say that for weddings it can be decorated with herbs and fresh flowers. But really, do you need to embellish a proper pork pie? We say no.

The pies can be delivered across the country and a four-tiered pie, such as the one pictured would cost around £455. Certainly not cheap but when both CAMRA and Giles Coren have given it the thumbs up (Coren called it “the perfect pork pie”) then it’s got to be worth considering hasn’t it?

    Ah, you see, once the embellishments are taken off (and put on one side to make a tasteful commemorative picture…) you get your actual pork pie.

    Unembellished and beautiful.

    Mind you, you have got me thinking. What if the embellishments were carved out of piccalilli? I mean, cauliflower florets as bouquets? Little gherkin leaves… it could catch on.

    Lynne, I think you’ve just commented your way into our hearts. Any woman who suggests piccalilli whittling has to be something special.

    *hugs*
