What if you bought the cake topper that has the bride and groom with the ball and chain. You can break the ball and chain leaving the groom  behind the car with the bride speeding off... Just a thought the more I think of the better it sounds. What do you think?

I always find the upside down wedding cakes with the groom smashed under it rather amusing.  However, if there are kids involved it isn't a good way to portray their father. 

I like the idea of the positive theme though.  Using your car idea, why not have the lady in her wedding dress, waving bye to the husband and her veil laying on the road.  If she has kids, you could put the kids in the car.

Having experienced a divorce...I had this put on my cake before I truly got into baking

 

Don't Chase Him, Just Replace Him

 

Doesn't go with what the customer ask for, just wanted to make someone smile!

Hi ladies,

Thanks so much for the wonderful and creative ideas!!  I'm not a scuplture nor do i know how to make figurines...how would i make a bride waving?  I've looked at some toppers, but a) they are pricey and b) they don't come apart...both bride and groom are stuck together.

@ Michelle, i like that saying...it would fit perfect with the car theme idea!

I had another idea this morning in the shower (dont ask)!! The lady said she feels positive...so it got me thinking about a BATTERY! HA...doing a cake that is in a shape of like a duracell battery.  One side is positive and one negative, and it's split in half.  And putting marriage related stuff on the negative side and being single on the positive side.  Does that sound corny???  I just dont know how to make a battery out of a cake!!

Since you don't do figures, what if you used little Polly Pocket figures?  She's even got her own car!  Make a cake that looks like a road - maybe even have Polly running over a guy (maybe if he's something like a hunter you could use a little action figure guy).  Just a thought. :)

 

The battery would be pretty easy - use a jelly roll!! :)  Lots of recipes online for those.  Then cover it with fondant to look like a battery.

a woman cutting off the ball and chain? or maybe with a shovel...."Glad that's over!!!"

You could also have her with a menu or display with her "New Choices" ex (men, freedom, life's new road).. not sure how to bring that out but it was what came to mind was choices. Kind of like the birth control commercial where they are in the store choosing...trip to paris...picnic at waterfall... just rambling
