75 Million Dollar & Fairy Tale wedding cakes, Oh How SWEET it is!
A wedding cake is a traditional cake served at wedding receptions following dinner. Traditionally, wedding cakes were made to bring good luck to all the guests and the couple. However, now they are more of a centerpiece to the wedding and may not even get served to the guests. Some cakes are built with only a single edible tier for the bride and groom to share, but this is rare since the cost difference between fake and real is very minimum. The cutting and shaping of a piece of cake before distributing it to the guests still symbolizes the couples union and their promise to forever provide for each other.
On average, a wedding cake costs between $350 and$450 nationwide. Several factors affect the cost of a wedding cake including the size of the cake, the ingredients, the number of tiers. However, with cakes becoming the centerpiece of the parties it is natural for the price to go higher & higher. It is almost like picking the most expensive diamond wedding ring to compete with others.

Check out the details on some enormous epic cakes priced up to $500,000.00 and more!
LeNovelle Cakes[/caption]There is one family-run bakery founded in 1993 called LeNovelle Cake in Jakarta, Indonesia, and a branch in Bali that specializes in epic wedding cakes. From fairy-tale castles to glazed cathedrals and pagodas up to 7 meters tall and complete with detailed turrets, pillars, and balconies. 24 people working 12 hours a day for over a month to complete just one of their sugar-coated masterpieces. These guys can turn the most outlandish architectural design into a magnificent cake.
Pictures, as amazing as they look, do not show the true scale and enormity of the cake themselves. The largest of them measure around 7-meters-tall and can weigh dozens of pounds. So big that they would never fit in a normal car, the largest of their cakes required five trucks and eight man-hours to assemble. Epic cakes inspired mostly from popular Disney films may include lighting and diamond rings. simply fantastic!
Disappointed to learn that these breathtaking castles are only partially edible. The most detailed elements are actually made from Styrofoam which is then coated with fondant icing and decorated with sugar paste flowers. So while the base itself and sometimes the upper tiers are completely edible, when it comes to the towers, arches, or balconies, only the outside can be eaten. However, LeNovelle Cake claims that they can create 100% edible castles as well, they just haven’t gotten an order for one yet.
