Ridiculous Cakes

Here comes the bride, all dressed in white -- but the cake is a different story! Couples across the country are saying "I do" with outlandish, over-the-top cakes, like an unconventional design that flips just days before the wedding. From a shortage of gold leaf that threatens a gravity-defying cake inspired by a floating house to a 7-foot-tall creation as fragile as china, these wedding cakes are anything but traditional.

It's time to deck the halls with outrageous cakes that celebrate the holiday season! Five amazing cake artists from across the country bake up some Christmas cheer that will impress even Santa himself. One elaborate cake is inspired by the world-famous decorated windows at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City, and other impressive cakes are in the shape of a 5-foot-tall snowman that weighs more than a child and a sweet Christmas tree for a performance of The Nutcracker. Finally, an ugly sweater party cake magically floats, and oversized ornaments are the perfect edible decorations for a downtown holiday party.
