As the years go on, weddings become more lavish than ever, with money seemingly being no object.
But one particular couple may have created new expectations as they had a cake that was almost five metres tall built for their wedding day.
Le Novelle Cakes, who created the masterpiece, are based 150 kilometres away from where the wedding was being held, so they had to transport the deconstructed dessert.
‘As we are based in Jakarta but the wedding itself was held in Bandung we had to transport all the cakes and decoration parts in pieces, then my team and I built it up on site for about six hours,’ Miyo Minaki, who works at the company, told FEMAIL.
Le Novelle Cakes met the couple earlier this year and they worked together to design a Grand Budapest Hotel themed cake.
‘They originally wanted to make a castle wedding cake, with the parliament building as the reference,’ Miyo explained.
‘Then we discussed further as I proposed several designs and then they finally decided to use this see through wedding cake design – it is unique and has all the elements they like.’
Within the cake itself stands an intricate castle made entirely of sugar, complete with spires, chapels, cherubs, flowers and a moat.
The structure is made from metal frame and everything else is handmade and handcrafted.
As if all of this isn’t magical and impressive enough, the creation is also lit from within.
The incredible structure took 30 days to build with a team of 15 people, which included the sugar decorations.
‘I actually did not expect it to be so tall and we couldn’t arrange it in my kitchen earlier because of the size,’ Miyo said.
‘The couple was also surprised to see how tall it was but really happy on how it turned out.’
