Wedding Cake: Unique and Personalized

The Wedding Cake

Imagine spending $5000 for a wedding cake! Not many New Jersey brides would spend that much on their wedding cake. One Texas bride had a long time fantasy of having a doll modeled after her. (Wouldn’t an American Doll be a lot less expensive?) To celebrate the renewing of her vows after 10 years of marriage, her husband agreed to her having a life-sized cake make to her likeness. Chidi Ogbuta of Allen, Texas, worked along with two designers to create a wedding cake that looked just like her.

It took about 5 weeks to complete the wedding cake and after serving it to their 500 guests at the September, 2007 wedding, it took about 1 week to finish the leftovers off with the help of friends. Are you wondering if they saved the head for their first anniversary? Imagine going down to the basement late at night to get a pizza out of the freezer and have a head peering out at you? Well, not to fear, the body was the butterscotch cake and the head and arms were made from polymer clay.

How did she accomplish this amazing cake? The bride hired a pastry chef to make the cake, except for the face which was made by another who created a mold of her face. The bride was able to put the two together to create her dream wedding cake.

NJ Brides’ Opinions on This Wedding Cake

What is your opinion on this cake?  Comments on the web have ranged from “tacky and weird” to “fun and fantastic”.  Other comments received were “conceited”, “cool”, and “upsetting the tradition”.  I believe wedding cakes are personal and often reflect the style or special moment shared between the bride and groom. If you want a unique, personalized, and fun NJ wedding cake, why not have it in the form of the groom’s cake? That way you can have the pleasure of both a fun cake and an elegant one, too.

Your Unique NJ Wedding Cake Design

What design do you have for your dream NJ wedding cake?  One bride and groom chose a cake in the image of their honeymoon luggage, personalized with their monogram. Another couple hopes to find a pastry chef who will be able to replicate a sandcastle surrounded by seashells.
