I hope this is just speculation but apparently SH is going to spend $3.5M on her wedding, including a $100,000 cake 
I love cakes, cakes are my life but I think there is a better use for $100,000. |

She is marrying the guy that owns Louis Vuitton. The 100k is a drop in the bucket for them.
I can only imagine having a life like that. |

Well duh there's a better use for all the money we all get paid for our cakes. It's her money let her have her wedding. The LV purse I do as a cake sculpture retails for $1800 dollars, the purse not my cake. I tried to find the priciest one. Let some happy caker get a dynamite order--it will help balance out the ones of us who woefully undercharge. |

Look at it this way ... if you got that cake order, you'd only have to do one cake a year to make a great living!  |

I agree that 100K could be used for other things, but I sure would have liked to have been the decorator to accept the order!!! |

People who have that kind of money don't live in the same world we do. If she's spending that kind of moo-la on her cake alone she doesn't have to look at price tags. I'd be interested to see what her cake looks like. It'd be fun to be in on making a cake for a big do like that. I just can't imagine what a production it would be. Someone post the pic when it's available so we can see. |

Just did a search, and she's an actress. I like her. |

She's an actress/director from Mexico. Had to look it up on Wikipedia since I am not into the Hollywood stuff. |

I thought she was already married to some French guy. Just goes to show that celebrity weddings and marriages come and go! |

It would be neat if say the talented people on here started copying cakes like that. Do it at a fraction of the cost. You know, they way the do the dresses after an awards show. |

Looked it up:
The flower budget alone is almost a million dollars. Guests will eat Beluga caviar, fresh lobster and Kobe beef from Japan. They will enjoy the finest French and Italian wines and champagne. The total food budget for food and alcohol is more than $1 million." The couple are also said to have ordered an impressive seven-tier wedding cake which will cost around $100,000. Valentina will be dressed in a handmade $50,000 gown.
Valentina is her 9 month old daughter
And hes dress, which will only be worn once, is costing $500,000.
It pays to cater to the wealthy.
Even if I had the money I don't think I could justify it to myself to pay those outrageous amounts for such simple things. You could make such a difference with just a fraction of those amounts.
But don't think I wouldn't take the money if someone was crazy enough to pay it. |

I heard a rich guy once say that he has all the same problems as everyone else just with more zeros on the end. So take off a few zeros and there we are huh. |

k8memphis~ you got that right!! And like they always say, they still put their pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us!! Of course there are worse sayings, but that was the safest!
I haven't heard anything bad about her either, (she was also on Ugly Betty) so I say, if you've got the money, go for it. And if you really think about it, she's spending it and someone is fortunate enough to receive it!!!
so I say, SPEND IT, cuz whomeever is receiving it, good for them!!! |
