Most people would dismiss the Bridal Gown Wedding Cake as a mannequin solely based on its life-like size. To realize that it was one massive confection would take anyone by surprise. An impressive feat to say the least, the cake might have been created by seasoned British baker Donna Millington-Day, but it was designed by her six-year-old daughter Hannah.
After coming across a picture of her mother's wedding dress, Hannah was inspired to draw a giant wedding dress cake. Millington-Day decided to rise to the challenge by baking the amazing Bridal Gown Wedding Cake. Weighing 25 kilos, it is made using 17 tiers of sponge cake, 22 kilograms of sugar paste icing, one kilogram of royal icing and hundreds of sugar pearls. It could serve over 2,000 guests at a wedding.
