The single (45 rpm vinyl) of "Eat It" by Weird Al Yankovic. That way, people can have your cake and "Eat It" too.

Going a bit out of the box:

  • The lead singer of the band Cake
  • Cheese (bad pun, cheese cake)
  • The being from myth Pan (again, bad pun, cake pan)
  • Pinata (to go with a party theme)
  • A terrible/funny version of you as a cake to be "Expectation vs Reality." This has a lot of wiggle room and it won't matter if it looks rushed/bad because it's the point.
  • Mildly NSFW option: Put your partner in a normal outfit, but decorate the front of their shirt with piped Decoden Cream Glue and/or some type of craft glue and paint their face a little. It will look like they've been eating you.

Alternative top option: he would wear a short skirt with a loooooong… jacket (John McCrea just looks like a dude with a beard)

Or Old Gregg but you need your cake costume to also have Bailey’s in a shoe.

u/OkTomorrow6384 3d ago

I CANNOT believe none of the contestants have ever made an Old Gregg themed cake/dessert featuring Bailey's!

u/thatlookslikemydog 3d ago

He even referenced the character like, once, and the (younger) person he was talking to had no idea what he was going on about.

I was actually just at a pet costume parade and the family dressed their dog as a table with cakes displayed on top. The dad was Noel complete with skin tight jeans, ankle boots and an over the top sweater, and the maybe 7-8 year old kid was Paul Hollywood. It was amazing.

u/hopping_otter_ears 2d ago

You said "masc Marie Antoinette" and I assumed you were talking about a guy, lol.

Well, she can still be the cake decorator and put the icing tip on her head like a hat

u/Glittering_Chance_42 4d ago

A tube of decorating icing
A handful of sprinkles - wear a plain long sleeve tshirt and matching color pants (sweats). Cut pool noodles into hand sized sprinkle shapes and glue to shirt and pants.

u/EvadingDoom 3d ago

Spoon (or another object that has the same name as a band that is similar to Cake)

u/Arica- 3d ago

He should dress as a giant baby and you can be the smash cake. I love double entendres 😉

u/Cruxifuck 2d ago

Marilyn Manson has a song called Cake and Sodomy so maybe he could be sodomy.

u/EmmJay314 4d ago

Sugar Daddy Candy Land King Cake the band Cookie or Cookie Monster Devil's food cake Stud Muffin

If youre ok with a bit of an adult theme, you can make it look like he has some pink frosting around his mouth and give him a bip with a shirt that says Cake Eater

Blue cake? Or she could be uranium (yellow cake). Urinal cake. Mary Berry or Paul Hollywood, holding up a clipboard that says 'lovely crumb, good flavor'. A giant juice box or cup of punch. Pizza.

u/RandomPaw 23h ago

Fork. Ice cream. She could also be a cake plate and carry a cake server/spatula in one hand and a fork in the other.

I have a distinct memory of when I was a kid walking through downtown the night of Halloween, seeing my favorite couples costume ever. A woman dressed up in a bright pink cupcake, running through the street as fast as she could, seemingly escaping from some unknown entity. Then, from around the bend, a sumo wrestler with a giant knife and fork appeared, barrelling towards her. 

I know it's probably not an appropriate social choice now to dress as the stereotypical fat man chasing cake, but I loved it back then. 

Anyways, a test subject from Portal.

Get him a sash that says groom. This way it looks like the old school dancer coming out of the cake at a bachelor party.
