FABERGE EGG CAKE- $35,000
The Faberge Egg was originally created for the Russian Imperial family. Tsar Alexander III started the tradition (as the story is told) by wanting to get something for his wife to celebrate their anniversary, which was close to the Easter holiday. He wanted a really nice egg, to be intricately decorated, and to have a surprise in the center. This started the tradition of the Faberge Egg, which the company (Faberge) had only created 50 in 32 years, and only the affluent could afford them.
SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL CAKE FROM SEX AND THE CITY 2- $32,000
Remember the movie Sex and the City, when Carrie was infatuated with Mr. Big, and dreamed of her perfect wedding? Perhaps you might even recall the moment he asked her to marry him, or even the gown she wore in the second film of the same name. Even if you had not seen either of the movies, there was a series with the same name that was on for years that had the exact same characters. This must be familiar to everyone, since it ran for almost six years on HBO, and the reruns were seen on multiple channels shortly thereafter.
PRINCESS KATE’S ROYAL CAKE- $78,000
The dessert that Kim Kardashian’s wedding cake was modeled after is none other than the official “royal cake” of Prince William and Kate Middleton; from their ceremony in 2011. Fiona Cairns and her team of 50 bakers and designers worked diligently on the confection for five weeks, and tried to incorporate everything into the cake that Kate had desired. Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd and Simply Red are a few previous (and some current) customers of Fiona; so she is highly reputable, and she takes her craft very seriously.
LIZA MINNELLI AND DAVID GEST’S TOWERING WEDDING CAKE- $40,000
In 2012, Liza Minnelli shocked the world when she married producer David Gest. It was a short-lived marriage (only lasting a little over a year and a half), but the wedding was a colossal extravaganza. For someone who had Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor in their wedding party, how could anyone expect anything less? Liza spared no expense; and the cake was no exception.
