The life-size dress is made up of 17 layers of cake, frosting, and jam. It is priced at $9,000, roughly the same as many couture designer gowns. The style of the cake, a single-strapped, trumpet-skirted gown, is based on the baker's own wedding dress. She attributes the idea of the cake to her six-year-old daughter.
Of course, this is the second big money cake that has been on display in England this year. Last month a Manchester-area baker made the news for a diamond-encrusted cake that was deemed the most expensive wedding cake ever made, with a price tag of over $50 million.
The wedding dress cake is something we love the look of, but if you'd rather have a dress that isn't edible, we have plenty of great styles available here in our Gilbeert boutique. Give us a call or stop by to see what buttercream-free choices we have for you!
