Cutting The Cake!

This life-size portrait wedding cake was inspired by two large bride and groom cakes at a wedding the bride attended in Nigeria when she was a child.  Those cakes were not portraits of the bride and groom - that was inspired by the fact the bride always wanted a doll that looked like her! There were only two people willing to take on this enormous task of creating her dream cake.  This amazing colaborative project was created by artists in two differnt cities.  Elizabeth sculpted the head and shoulders in Austin, Tx and Nikki, with Absolutely Editable Cakes, created the wedding gown cake in Dallas,Tx.  The head is made out of polymer clay and has 24mm glass eyes which added to the realism of this sculpture. The bride said this incredible cake was the talk of the reception and everyone was taking pictures of it with their cell phones!  Please click "Read more" to view additional photos.
