Including the table, this cake stood nearly 12ft tall, and was iced all in buttercream. It had over 75 yards of swarovski rhinestones, and almost 500 yards of crystal bead strands, along with yards and yards of sequins. It also had LED lighting running up the center of all the tiers. There was a pave' mirrored stand underneath the cake and a 60" mirror on top of the table. There were also 400 servings of satellite cakes, each on a crystal beaded stand with lights under each of those. The top tier was adorned with silver crystal and beaded sprays surrounded by eighteen fresh red roses. To put this cake together, we had two 12ft ladders and an electric genie power lift. It was definately a labor of love!

Pricing? My guess would be $3,000.

38 inches! However did you manage that?

OH, I know Rama, about the 400 additional servings...now those were exactly that- for 400 people, right?  Having so much fun trying to figure it out...

It would not only be for this display cake, but also for the 400 servings from all the satellite cakes. I didn't get a photo of them, by the time we got everything set up I didn't even think of getting pictures of them.   I would love to put a photo on here of the bride & groom cutting this, just so you could see how tall this really was.  But I didn't know if I could post a photo with people in it.  I also forgot to mention that the bottom tier of this was 38" in diameter.

Please give us an idea of pricing this cake, because for me is "priceless"... I am going to take a "wild guess", should I?  Actually there are 42 members who favorited this cake, we all should take a guess...and see who is the closer...
