That would make a for a boring cake, but having a whole bunch of them could be justified. My RPG of choice, Burning Wheel, is a dice-pool system that uses six-siders.

Add 'em all up and you've got 20, though I don't know what weird game mechanics you'd be using. Maybe the numbers mean something personal to the bride and groom? Like, maybe he proposed on November 1st, 2008 (11-1-08)? The d20 is showing 11, but the d8 is showing 8 and the d4 rolled 1.

The d4 was key lime, the d6 chocolate and the d20 an almond. I think. The cake makers can do some awesome things, but the d20 shape was pretty hard on them, and they forgot to have it showing a 20.
