I Want A Cake Like This When I Get Married

Wow the cake is very well executed, looks like the bride got what she wanted! The idea itself isn't for me, but the cake is great!
i agree that is tacky but i still can't help but wonder how much she paid for that sucker!
The attention to detail is amazing...the cake is amazing...the decorator should be very proud.
However, I think the cake is creepy and a bit ego-maniacal. On my wedding day I wanted people to think I looked more amazing than my cake. I don't think I could have competed with that! 
I totally appreciate the work and talent that has gone into this although it definitely my style of decorating...
I had a funny thought...I wonder what they will do with the "topper"...her head/bust? Sit it on the mantle or put it in the china cabinet? Lots of work has gone into it but honestly, what do you do with the top?
Still, a ton of talent and hard work went into that and I gather the bride must have loved it!!!
WOW! That must have taken a lot of time and patience! Incredible! It looks like the bride was happy with it. It really is lovely, if that's your cup of tea! I, myself, just couldn't cut into a cake that looked like me....it would be too weird for my taste.
I got these pix in an email yesterday....WOW!! The detail on this cake is absolutely amazing and awesome.....WOW!
It would have been nice if they also had the Groom next to it. Since a wedding is all about the Bride and Groom and not just the Bride, which in this case that's what it looks like. Amazing work, although it would not be my style or cup of tea if it was my wedding. 
There's another thread runnin about this very cake. I did look at the pics on the original decorators and sculptors (not the same person) sites and the bust is made from polymer clay (it cost the lady 2500 smakaroos) and then there was the cake that comprised the dress made by "Buttercream Dreams" bakery. Either way both artists are amazingly talented and even though I too find the concept a little strange; it's definitely a cake that no one will forget for a while. I'm sure that the emails will be flyin for at least a couple years after the fact.
i don't suppose they saved the topper to eat on the anniversary! tee hee
I agree with you, Jadak-I don't want my wedding cake to look better than me! Like someone else said-the bride and the groom are BOTH part of the wedding-not just the bride. Not my kind of cake at all. Great detail, like everyone else said, though!
My first reaction was "Bridezillaaaaaaaaaaa"
That's actually offensive to me. It's a wedding... " to unite (a couple) in marriage or wedlock; marry" That is totally all about her! If that is what it takes to keep her happy at this phase of the game, imagine what it's going to take later.
I try to stay out of things like this but here I go with my big mouth.
Lots of judgement flying here. Did anyone think perhaps "she" didn't order it? Maybe someone had it made for her, it could have been a surprise, it could be that they are from another country and their traditions are different. We don't know the circumstances/details so maybe the mean comments are not called for.
While the cake may not be your taste it is rude to say it is tacky. Artists put a lot of time and probably a lot like us, their heart and soul into this. How would you feel if you poured yourself into something and then went online to find someone referring to it as tacky?
Let's treat other as we would like to be treated please.
Obviously, some talented people worked hard on this. Let's be respectful to them as we are artists too!

I commented that I thought it was tacky and I'm entitled to my opinion. I could comment on several cakes found here on CC in the same way, but given that this was not simply posted in the gallery, rather, left open for discussion in the forum, I thought it appropriate to express MY OPINION.
And while I don't think I should have to explain why I find it tacky, I will. I was speaking to the concept itself. Kudos to the decorators who were able to create this cake. Custom, gift or whatever, to me, the idea of having a cake made in one's image, is tacky.
