The tiny flowers aren’t too difficult to make with fondant icing. That stuff is like clay. I’m made plenty of tiny things with Fimo. Fondant is a bit softer.
The Bible also states you are going against God if you get a tattoo, shave your head, and work on Sunday. Oh, and also it says slavery is okay. And, men should rule over their wives.
So we can go against these “rules”, but gay marriage is “wrong”?
That makes perfect sense!
Wait a minute, Luka! You supposed to be christian? Wrong bible, dude. In the New Testament that christians supposed to follow there are no stories or admonitions from Jesus that says we get to judge each other and bring punishments down on people we decide are sinners. That be the Lord’s job. We supposed to love each other as our selves. Bothers me that christians spend so much of their time speculating on what goes on inside other peoples’ bedrooms. Can you be judged for that? Maybe so. Anyway, get out of other peoples’ bedrooms and learn to live and let live. Like Jesus told us to. Geeesh!
OK, I guess I should have made it clear I was being ironic since passages I quoted promote polygamy. Something “marriage is between 1 man and 1 woman” advocates forget or ignore.
Go read the passages: They’re all pro-polygamy. Luka’s just pointing out that the bible decidedly does NOT say marriage is between one man and one woman.
Just a book written at a certain time and in a certain place. Look around you and think for a moment about live and let live. And figure out what you are afraid of and realize you don’t have to be.
“If a man lies with a man as a man lies with a woman, they are both to be put to death…”
Note that it says nothing about a woman and a woman. You won’t find it anywhere in the Bible. You can draw 2 conclusions from this:
1. If the Bible was written by man, and not G-d, and not Divinely Inspired, then there wouldn’t be any mention of a woman being with a woman, because at the time, they didn’t believe that women were sexual. They didn’t believe that women could get *any* sexual gratification, so a woman *couldn’t* have sex with a woman, so there was no need to make a prohibition against it, or
2. If the Bible was written or inspired by G-d, the same G-d that created Woman, He would know that women *are* sexual, and that they *could* derive pleasure from being with another woman, but the prohibition, as written in the Bible, applies only to men (it makes much more sense if you see it in the original Hebrew).
So which is it? Does G-d know that women are sexual? There is a part of the woman’s body whose sole purpose is pleasure. Men do not have a part that, as its sole purpose, is for pleasure. If G-d created woman, G-d also created all parts of her — including the parts for pleasure only. If G-d intends for men to experience pleasure (and there is no part solely for that), then G-d intends for women to have pleasure as well. So the only conclusion that can be drawn from the above verses is that women should be allowed to be with other women.
I know right? It’s just a friggin book people!! I also love how “Christians” are so quick to cite the bible, yet totally ignore the actual teachings of Jesus…
In the U.S. it’s a syndrome called “Christian Privilege”.
Basically, if you are enjoying rights others aren’t, you are a persecuted group when equality comes a-knockin’.
When the slaves were freed, you never heard such whining in your life, ah do declare.
I don’t think it’s a real cake – I think it’s fimo (femo? eh, whatever – that plastic stuff). There’s tutorials for making a rainbow cake with icing / cake consistency on youtube. And I’m the dork that watched them.
..just who said it was about gay marriage?
maybe the couple just likes colorful tiny cakes. Ever thought of that one?
and I think this is the most amazing, adorable cake I’ve seen so far! I agree, they should serve it on the quarter.. with one of those teeny tiny tea sets like I got as a child =)
i did indeed make it specifically in honor of new york state legalizing gay marriage; but i don’t see why anyone, gay or straight could not enjoy it too!
OMG! A giant coin!
+9001 internets to you!
Minimalistic cake is minimalistic.
Not quite, no. ‘Minimalism’ is not about size, but sparsity. . .
That’s what she said! =D
The cake itself probably isn’t too hard.
What I want to know is how they made all the teensy flowers…
I don’t think you have made layer cakes very often. To cut cake so thin and have them be so uniform is pretty impressive.
The tiny flowers aren’t too difficult to make with fondant icing. That stuff is like clay. I’m made plenty of tiny things with Fimo. Fondant is a bit softer.
Marriage is between a ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN…anything else is like this stupid cake….a big steaming pile of B.S.
Says who??
Who asked you, Trolley McTrollington? Grow a mind and find some compassion.
Yes! The Bible says so! See:
Exodus 21:10
Deuteronomy 17:17
Deuteronomy 21:15-17
2 Samuel 5:13
1 Kings 11:3
2 Chronicles 11:21.
The Bible also states you are going against God if you get a tattoo, shave your head, and work on Sunday. Oh, and also it says slavery is okay. And, men should rule over their wives.

And, of course, the Bible is the Law of the Land for all Americans, since this nation is a Theocracy…
Oh, wait…
Wrong. The cake is not big. Learn to read. Oh, and stop being a hater.
Now they just need to serve it up *on* the coin. That would be a win.
Yea New York! Now only 43 more states to go.
Is that edible?
I could eat like fifty of these
I was going to say that this cheapens gay marriage, but I’ll let it go: It actually just cheapens the quarter.
nah the government has done that already. see: QE 1 and 2
Is this real?
pretty sure it’s made out of clay.
. . . I was a little slow on figuring out the rainbow innards ;o cute cake though..
I can’t imagine making all those itty bitty layers.
I wonder if it’s actual cake, or squished-down gumdrops or some other candy. Either way, super impressive! And, YAY!
Looks like Fimo (or another brand of polymer clay).
WTF does the bible have todo with anything. Separation of church and state.
I know right? It’s just a friggin book people!! I also love how “Christians” are so quick to cite the bible, yet totally ignore the actual teachings of Jesus…
Ha ha ha!! RIGHT ON Jennytakearide!!! :p

The cake is made of clay by Jennifer Hlavac and is found here: http://imsotiny.com/2011/06/27/i-heart-new-york/
