Wedding Dress Cake Gives Inspiration

Combining cake and couture, a British baker has created a $9,000 wedding cake in the shape of a bridal gown.



The six-foot confection went on display at the National Wedding Show in Birmingham, England. It is the handiwork of the Fairytale Cake Company and contains 17 layers of cake, buttercream frosting, and jam.

Of course, this isn't the first cake shaped like a wedding dress. There have been several bride-shaped cakes that gained internet attention for their life-like nature (and slight creepiness when it came time to cut the cake!). While this cake is a stunning example of what can be crafted with sugar paste, royal icing, and sugar pearls, we're not sure how any couples would want it for their wedding.

What this dress cake does show, though, is that there's no limit to what a wedding cake can be. Along with the world's most expensive wedding cake, another British creation that combined traditional tiers and a whole lot of real diamonds, this cake can give you an idea of what you might or might not want for your big day.

Whether you want to go all out with a life-size copy of your dress, or want to go much more casual with a table of cupcakes or cake pops, your cake can be a great part of your day and your wedding meal. To talk about what sweet things we can bring to your big day, give us a call!
