Eat your cake and wear it too on this special day

Finding the perfect wedding gown is admittedly an extremely stressful, difficult challenge that most women face only after bracing themselves and making sure they have enough time for it, just in case. Brides looking for something a little more out of the ordinary can find inspiration in a dress designed by Lukka Sigurdardottir entirely out of cake, as the New York Daily News can confirm.

The creation is far from practical but, to speak the truth, it gets major points for being highly original. From a distance, the dress looks like just any other, except with considerably less material.

The lower part, shaped like a bell is not made of cake: it is a wedding cake in its entirety. Assuming the bride can make it down the aisle in it, guests can probably have a piece of her dress at the wedding party.

Of course, that’s a big “if” right there, as the aforementioned publication also points out. “Here’s a way to have your wedding cake and wear it, too: a one-of-a-kind bridal gown with a full skirt made of – you guessed it – flour, sugar and loads of frosting. The wedding cake dress was created by Lukka Sigurdardottir and documented on the blog Gather and Nest in photos that show a woman wearing the whimsical creation as another person cuts out a delicate slice to reveal a rainbow-colored filling,” the NY Daily News writes.

“Practical, this dress isn’t. It might not survive the bride’s walk down the aisle – unless she was carefully wheeled in on a cart – and would no doubt require her to stand very still during the reception. But as a work of art, it simply takes the cake,” the publication further mentions. Indeed, even if doesn’t score too many points for design / aspect, as a concept, it is a gown that simply knows no rival so far.

It is unknown whether the bride is also wearing something else underneath the cake (that is, the lower part of her dress). As such, no one can tell what would happen if one actually wore this to her wedding, after guests have all had a taste of her dress.
