Another Wedding and another Cake

Post by MagicMagor »

You might remember this thread from a while back, with a nice wedding Go cake.

Well Ember and I got married last week and we also had a nice Go cake. We thought you might enjoy it. So here it is:

Since we didn't have many Go player as guests, we decided to just show the final position of the "problem".

Maybe we now have some time to play Go again.

Congrats! :)

( A "realistic" rendering, not skipping i in the x coordinates, versus a "thematic" version with colorful stones. :) )

What were the stones, BTW ? :mrgreen:

That cake is so well done, it makes you want to take the stones off and play a proper game on it. :lol:

Congrats!
Patience, grasshopper.

Congratulations, but it is not exactly clear which one of you is Yvonne and which is Axel given the anonymity of your accounts.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Thank you, everybody! :D

I still remember when we told the owner of the patisserie our idea:
- "And you really don't want a normal wedding cake, do you...?"
+ "No." (*chuckle*)
Considering this (desperate) last try to evade this cake, they did a brilliant job. I surely would have gone crazy making all those stones... And considering that they didn't know about the game before, I cannot praise them enough for placing the stones correctly, it must have been very confusing for somebody who is not a Go-player.

@ Dr.Straw: Is it really important who is who? We also didn't think that we would have to say it since Ember is - as far as I know - a female first name in the English speaking world. But if it makes you happy ;-) :

Best wishes

Yvonne

Congratulations on your wedding and what a wonderful cake! For ours I decided to not go for a 19x19 position as I thought it'd be too hard to make, but your patisserie did an amazing job, and what a good design.
