I came across this wedding fact and thought I would share it.
The Executive Pastry Chef, Lynn Mansel and team of 57 “pastry artisans” have constructed the world’s largest wedding cake. This 17 foot height wedding cake was unveiled at the New England Bridal Showcase on February 8, 2004. The cake was a 7 tier cake weighing 15, 032 pounds.
It was made from 10,000 pounds of pound cake and 4, 810 pounds of icing. This cake can feed 59,000 guests. WOW!!! That’s a big wedding!
Shayna Glick a blogger from Slashfood wrote, “the cake team baked 700 sheet cakes and put them all together to build the giant cake. They had to use steel discs as cake boards, heavy duty metal pipes as separators, and two fork lifts to put each tier in place as it was finished.”
Not sure what they did with the cake after the showcase, but what a creation.

Sex and the City, the movie of the summer….well for most women that were fans of the show. Will Carrie marry Mr. Big? Gotta see it to find out! But we do know that Sarah Jessica Parker, is seen wearing a lavish Vivienne Westwood wedding gown in the film.
“Bridal designer Aldo Terlato was so inspired, he created his own version, with an attached price tag of more than $10,000.
Made from 50m of pure Italian silk in shades of ivory and pale gold, the size 10 gown took 50 hours of hand-sewing.”
Ms McKay, a fan of the show, who is tying the knot in October in another creation of Aldo Terlato, is seen in the above photo modeling the Sex and the City inspired gown.
