EAT ME! Brit cake designer creates $1million life-sized edible bride
A million-dollar wedding cake depicting an Arab bride was unveiled by
British fashion designer Debbie Wingham at the BRIDE show in Dubai on
Sunday.
The life-size cake weighing 120 kg (264 lbs) is edible from head to toe.
It was adorned with five flawless three-carat white diamonds, each
valued at USD 200,000 (EUR 163,326), along with a 1000 pearls, earning
it the moniker "The Million Dollar Bride".
Wingham used 50 kg (110 lbs) of fondant and about 20 kg (44 lbs) of
chocolate to make the cake, and sculpted the face with modelling
chocolate to give it a realistic, contoured look, the 36 year-old
designer said.
"Today we are actually going to cut into her. And I think that is
shameful, because I've been working on her for five days and I slept
literally twelve hours in five days. She is a high-maintenance, this
one, but I'm really happy with her," Wingham said before cutting into
her sweet magnum opus.
