Lifesize Wedding Cakes, Anyone?

lifesize-wedding-cake.jpg

I know people want to do unique and unusual things at their weddings to make them enjoyable and memorable to the couple and their guests but this, this goes to my book of weird stuff! I am not sure if I am comfortable slicing our wedding cake if it’s lifesize replica of myself. It just seems….weird!

It was a childhood dream for Chidi Ogbuta.

Chidi says “growing up in Nigeria I always wanted a doll to made in my likeness, that didn’t happen so I got the cake.”

But who could make a cake that was 5 feet 4 inches tall?

Cake decorator Nikki Jackson says “she said she wanted a to recreate her in cake, I dodged her calls for a while, I didn’t think i was up for the challenge.”

But Chidi persisted.

Chidi said “I said I know you can, don’t tell me no.”

So she started on cake while a sculptor from Austin created the head.

This is where the magic happened, Nikki was in here for 20 hours a day for two weeks to finish the cake.

That was the easy part, the hard part was getting it out the door.

Nikki says “we had to take the door frame off to get her out.”

But it was a masterpiece from sculpted clay head to toe.

Chidi says “I was like oh my God! I felt my dream had come true!”

Guests had to do a double take when they saw the cake.

The groom says “they were hilarious, they’re eyes were popping out of their heads. They had cameras, cell phones and they were calling people.”

So, was cutting the cake a little weird?

Chidi says “we felt it was just a cake but my little girl was like Mommy are they going to cut you?”

Chidi and her husband never thought their wedding cake would get this much attention.

    How embarrassing and tacky. At least I know I’ve got better taste than these people. The poor groom. If she gets this cake, imagine what life must be like at home.

    The sculpture is great! It goes into great detail. Very nice. The cake or should i say “cakes” are well put together. However, I just don’t like the idea of having this for a wedding. Kinda wierd. Just my opinion.

    Maybe it wasn’t the bride’s idea and it was her husbands.. I think the baker did a better job then I could have done but it doesn’t really look like the bride so then again maybe that’s why she is mad, who knows?

    keep up the art man i just like.

  14. By suseins

    WOW!!! i just like the art in the cake though that design just abused the bride because it just spoils everything on her face. but she shold be happy because her husband just liked it in that way. please do not be sad and remember its your weeding day no one else is. Smile!!!!!!

    When I saw this cake I knew that I had to look at the blog. First of all excellent job to the baker and sculptor but wow oh wow to the overall idea of this cake. I could not possibly believe that anyone could fathom creating such a cake. It is beyond tacky, scary and a tad inappropriate for a wedding. I know its all about the bride but I feel that a wedding is about the union of two people not of just the one. WOW I just can’t get over this cake and I guess that was the idea but wow I think it is one of the worst I have seen in my search for a wedding cake. Overall 2 thumbs down. Just wow.

    i think it looks like crap. it looks nothing like the girl it was made for, very tacky!!

  18. By Kimmy

    I agree with the majority, it looks like the baker did a great job but this is in poor taste…but to each his own.
