These are more than your “Office Birthday Party” cakes. They’remore than treats you buy yourself after a long day at the office tohave with your favorite herbal tea. They’re cakes that are there tocommemorate an event during which you tell the whole world that youlove another person. They’re wedding cakes, and they’re extremelyexpensive wedding cakes.
In fact, these are the 8 most expensive wedding cakes ever!
National Gay Wedding Show – $52,000,000
This cake wasn’t actually made for a wedding, but it wascreated for the National Gay Wedding show. It’s the world’s mostexpensive wedding cake, it was made of 8 layers, and it was decoratedwith 4,000 diamonds. I don’t know if people actually ate thediamonds (I know I’d be very scared for my teeth), but they did setthe record for the most expensive wedding cake in the world.
Debbie Wingham (designer) cake – $1 Million
This cake isn’t the most expensive cake, but it’s hands down themost impressive cake on this list. First of all, it looks amazing! Itlooks better than most mannequins in clothing stores and statues onthe streets of our home cities. It cost $1 million to make andweighed 120kg. More than the source material, sure, but also you knowthere was plenty to go around!
It was fully edible and was made using 1,000 eggs and 20kg ofchocolate!
William and Kate’s $80,000 white wonder
This cake was as royal as the couple whose wedding it was made for.Designed by Fiona Cairns, this cake was covered with 900 sugar pasteflowers (17 different varieties!). These included the English rose(obviously), Scottish thistle, Welsh daffodils, and Irish shamrock.
Gucci Mane And Keyshia Ka’oir – $1.7 million
What’s Gucci, my dude? THIS CAKE! It’s fabulous and expensive.It’s price was spiked up significantly because it wascovered by 2,500 Swarovski crystals between each of the four tiers ofthe cake. The cake was over 3 meters wide. In fact, it was so bigthat Gucci and Keyshia had to use a sword to cut it! SWAG!
Donald Trump and Melania Knauss’s Grand Marnier Wedding Cake – $50,000
Donald and Melania Trumps’ cake cost$50,000 and was so heavy (200-pounds) that it had to be supported bya bunch of metal wiring. In fact, there was so much wiring in thecake that all the wedding guests were served “backup cakes” thatwere made using the same recipe. In the end, the “real” weddingcake was carefully “carved up” and eaten by the staff once thewedding is over.
Sofía Vergara And Joe Manganiello – $50,000
When Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello started their own ModernFamily, their giant wedding cake cost $50,000. It had 5 tiers andwas designed by the prolific Sylvia Weinstock. It was decorated withflowers and probably tasted as good as it looked.
Princess Diana and Prince Charles’s $40,000 Flowered Wedding Cake
Even though it cost $40,000 to make in 1981, this cake’s costadjusted for inflation would make the current price of thecake a whopping $100,000! Just like Kate and William’s cake(mentioned earlier) it was decorated with flowers (English Rose,Orchids, Lilies of the valley, etc.). It took the bakersa whole 14 weeks to make it. In fact, it wasn’t the only cake atthe wedding. The team actually had to make 27 different cakes forthat wedding PLUS a duplicate of the original big cake in casesomething went wrong and they needed a backup.
Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian’s $20,000 black and white marble cake
A $20,000 cake for a marriage that lasted only 72 days. I don’t think any further comments are necessary here.
