They say marriage is all about compromise. If that's the case, newlyweds Kia Parsons and Billy Bunning are off to an excellent start.

The UK couple had different visions when it came to their wedding cake; the bride wanted an all-white tiered cake with cascading sugar flowers. The groom, on the other hand, wanted to incorporate his love of comic book superheroes into the confection. So they met somewhere in the middle:

Julia Baker of Tier by Tier cake design created the cake for the couple's August 14 wedding in Milton Keynes, England. One side is the traditional-looking cake the bride wanted. On the other side, icing curtains reveal the logos of Marvel characters Captain America, Spider-Man and Iron Man, as well as Batman from the DC Comics camp.

"I loved every minute making this cake, as I knew it would be something that people would be surprised at and appeal to all the Marvel fans!" Julia told The Huffington Post.

In all, she spent 40 hours on the cake. It took 12 hours to make the sugar flowers, and the cake-baking and building took about 28 hours.

Needless to say, Kia and Billy were thrilled with the finished product.

"Julia did such a fantastic job and we were completely overwhelmed by how brilliant it looked!" the bride told HuffPost. "From most angles of the room, the cake looked like a traditional wedding cake -- just what we had wanted. It wasn't until the cake was moved for us to cut that our guests realized there was a hidden extra. Some didn't even realize until the photos went online after the wedding!"

On Tuesday, a photo of the cake began going viral when it was shared by the Life Of Dad Facebook page.

"I was surprised at how popular it was and how quickly the pictures circulated on social media," Julia said. "I have plenty more ideas to work on and I am calling these 'double-take cakes.'"

Sleep
Hush little baby
Hush little baby
Mama bout to tell you whats going on lately, yo

Waking up at noon,
sleeping fully clothed
lectures in the afternoon,
i think I should fully go

Teachers always barking
Barking like a dog in this,
place,
we call home (home?)

Hanging on the phone
Hanging on the monkey bars
Teachers told me don't
monkey around
Gotta grow up get paid and be
sound

But its just me against the world now
(me against the world now)
LIKE PAC
it's just me against the world now
LIKE PAC
it's just me against the world now

Waking up at noon
Alarm always belling late
Unless I set it
wrong
can't remember last night's mind state
Darkness in the morning
Up a mourning yawning
another day another
dolla to pay,
another bent,
copper to pay
to the **** poor,
mama tell me what my life might,
got in store!
Girl a like, Hey Hey!
Girl a like, Hey Hey!

Beats in the bedroom,
mac by the stereo and
Pats on the stereo
Pats on the decks
Hey Hey Harriet I tell her that she next
And i tell her that she next
Me against the world
Me against the world
Me against the world
LIKE PAC
LIKE PAC

I wish i was a bear
I wish i didn't care,
I wish one day I might grow up,
and be fair

I'm not funning
About you being stunning
And I have no cunning
About you
And having heard of Jim Bunning
I'm just running
Off the mouth
About gunning for you
When you're much too young
Much too unsung
And maybe never been flung
Off
Toffer
See!

Our country is hurting
Our people are dying
I’m wearing my mask
Without even trying

Every day on the news
People fussing and fighting
Of “Where can I walk now,
I’ve done all of Briiiighton”

I know my rights
Got it saved on my phone
I’m just off to Bunning's
I won’t be forced to stay home

You think you are clever
Your whining & wailing
What the rest of us see
Is some-one UN-Australian

Your selfishness, ignorance
Is all that shines through
If it had touched your family
Then what would you do?

The families who have suffered
The lives we have lost
We can stop this from happening
For a miniscule cost

Just wear a mask
It isn’t that hard
Just take your walk
Round & round your backyard

For those of you all
With your head in the sand
When all this is over
Wash the blood off your hands.

Disclaimer This poem is NOT aimed at anyone who does have a legitimate reason for not wearing a mask BUT if your legitimate reason comes with a screenshot on your phone of out of date human rights laws then you are UN-Australian.
