Alex Patterson knew that if he was going to propose to his boyfriend Benjamin Mize, he would have to come up with something unique and personal. So, he created a proposal that took the cake — literally.
With the help of Creative Cakes by Catherine, Patterson commissioned a cake that incorporated the couple's favorite things, including Harry Potter, The Walking Dead and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

“We’re both literary minded,” Patterson told BuzzFeed Life. “We’ve also developed a shared interest in board games, so I thought about the books and games that are most important to us.”
The cake features "copies" of Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince and The Iliad and The Odyssey, the board game Pandemic, boarded-up doors from The Walking Dead, a stake from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a Dunder Mifflin logo from The Office, and even a sweet little rainbow.
“I felt like I was commissioning a sculpture, not a cake.”
Patterson presented the cake to Mize, along with a beautiful ring which Patterson's mother had given to his father.
Not surprisingly, Mize said yes. Because how could you say no to such a sweet sentiment?
With this level of creativity in the proposal alone, this couple's nuptials are sure to be pretty amazing.
