Forget lace, silk and sequins. Brides to be with a sweet tooth will love this wedding dress – because it is made out of cake.

The six foot tall edible bridal gown is made from 17 tiers of sponge cake, 22 kilos of sugar paste icing, 2lb of royal icing and hundreds of sugar pearls.

Created by Donna Millington-Day, dubbed the fairy godmother of wedding cakes, the epic sweet treat would cater for over 2,000 wedding guests.

Adventurous baker Donna was inspired by her daughter’s drawing of a giant wedding dress cake.

Hannah, six, was designing wedding cakes for her mother’s Fairytale Cake shop in Staffordshire when she came up with the idea to create a life size wedding dress completely from cake.

Rather than dismissing her daughters fantastical ideas Donna decided to rise to the challenge and one week later the stunning ivory dress, heavily embellished with iced flowers and weighing in at 25 kilos, was finished.

Donna said: ‘We chose to make a satin, lace and pearl simple yet intricate design with roses and drapes.

‘The satin finish was achieved using a pearl lustre and each swirl was hand-piped to make the dress look as authentic as possible.’

The wedding dress cake is being unveiled at the National Wedding Show this weekend in Birmingham.

Donna has even had to get a custom-made trolley for the dress to sit on and assist in transportation.
