18 year old 13k wedding cake at Savoy..

[Heather37231]

Is there a thread about this already?

So many questions…

Bride, 18, spends £13k 13-foot wedding castle cake

Cake/polystyrene castle builder “has been making cakes for Madeline for 6 years”.

Big Fat Gypsy Wedding type cultural context I’m guessing?

Wow!! That's quite the cake - I bet the cake decorator was proud of it, it looks like it's defying gravity. Part art, part cake! I hope the cake part tasted delicious!

Looks like a standard issue Traveller wedding.

It’s mostly made of polystyrene.

That is incredible! It really is a work of art!

yes I think they are travellers that cake maker must be raking it in good for them. although what happens once the wedding is over do they just dismantle it?

But hardly any of it is cake. Isn't that cheating?

Well some of it is cake so I guess it's cake !

It’s not my taste but it made the bride happy so good luck to them.

What are your questions OP?

I used to watch Ace of cakes on food network they used polystyrene and rice crispies to scaffold their massive cakes.

She “married her childhood sweetheart”

At the ripe old age of 18 🤣

I did wonder how on earth such a young couple could afford a £50k wedding

Looks like a travellers wedding going by the photos & the 200 guests. So a pretty typical expense

I know, right?

It’s really lovely.

You can do a lot with money if you pay minimum tax.

Prefer the one that my 18yo made for her Dad this weekend

1. Why does it say she paid for it?
2. Who actually paid for it?
3. why has this girl had a personal professional cake maker since age 13?
4. is the cake maker part of a family business connected to the couple?
5. what do she and her husband do for a living?

That’s a few of them.

That’s brilliant @cuckyplunt .

Ok, I get the cake may not be too your taste, but you've got to admit it's a showstopper!

I'm going to have a guess at answering your questions!

• Why does it say she paid for it? - Maybe she did! She could be a lottery winner for all we know. But what does it matter - as long as the cake sculptor got paid.

• Who actually paid for it? Why? How does that make a difference?

• why has this girl had a personal professional cake maker since age 13? No idea....but what harm is it doing? There are far worse things in the world to worry about.

• is the cake maker part of a family business connected to the couple? What if she is? She's got a nice bit of advertising out of it, so a good result for her!

• what do she and her husband do for a living? Are you this nosey about every bride/wedding or is it because this appears to be a traveller community wedding? Rearrange your judgy pants, your racism is showing.

@cuckyplunt I absolutely love your cake!

Oh don’t be ridiculous, you sell your story to the Daily Mail you are obviously inviting questions!

I am also amused at the cake maker describing the 18 year-old as “an old romantic”.

@Heather37231 I think @TheCountessofLocksley was spot on. Maybe I’m wrong and apologies if I am but your post came across as very judgemental and quite sneery

I prefer this one too!
