Amazing Life-Sized Wedding Cake Meticulously Recreates a Real Couture Gown

As cake art grows increasingly creative and complex, the possibilities for wedding confections are seemingly endless. From colorful geodes to delectable drips to even real flowers you can eat, contemporary cakes offer more than just stiff white icing. They transcend the traditional and are elevated into the realm of edible sculptures. Baker extraordinaire Emma Jayne showcases this in one of her latest creations that appeared at the Cake International show in London. At first glance, the life-size wedding dress cake doesn’t look like a confection at all; instead, it appears to be a beautiful floor-length gown. But in actuality, it’s a completely edible version of a real couture ensemble.

Jayne crafted every piece of this amazing cake by hand. Her source material was a dress by Philippines-based designer Mak Tumang, and his vision looks like something a princess would wear. Among its pepulm-style silhouette, flowers flow down the bodice and skirt with crystals that trail down the back.
