"The most dangerous food is wedding cake"

- James Thurber

About this Quote

This quote by James Thurber is an amusing take on the suggestion that wedding event cake can be a harmful food. He is suggesting that the risk lies not in the cake itself, yet in the potential repercussions of consuming it. The concept is that wedding celebration cake is so delicious that it can be difficult to withstand, and if you do delight, you might discover on your own in a scenario that you weren't expecting. As an example, you may discover on your own in a lasting partnership with someone you simply met, or you may find on your own in an economic bind as a result of the price of the wedding. In other words, the danger of wedding event cake depends on the potential effects of eating it, not in the cake itself.
