Is there a thread about this already?

So many questions…

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

There seems to be very little cake in that, erm, cake.

To be fair there was plenty of press and opinions on the wealthy couple who spent an obscene amount of money on there wedding last year.

Just think of all those businesses and people who were paid for their work. Caterer’s, DJ’s, dress designers, wait staff etc. Better they spend their money than hoard it away like Scrooge McDuck!!

Childhood sweetheart, lol ... Sorry. 🙂

Absolutely stunning cake.

It's nice to read a happy story of someone having their dream day and dream cake rather thank someone sad facing about something inane for a change.

Good for them! Everyone's different. If they've got the money, go for it! Yes they're young and it's expensive but do what brings you joy that's what I say!

Or try to get it all for free because they are a celebrity or an influencer, like that actress Catherine Tyldesley who got roasted last year for her for her PR rep trying to blag a free birthday cake in exchange for publicity.

I’d be embarrassed to charge £13000 for a “cake” that was mostly polystyrene. Obviously I understand you can’t construct something that size from cake, but I think I’d rather have a polystyrene sculpture and decent cake out the back to cut up.

The cake itself is a showstopper I suppose but in the photos without all the lights, it’s just not that well executed in my opinion. I’ve definitely seen much better fairy castle cakes.

This is normal in traveller culture. They marry very young, spend obscene amounts of money on weddings/designer clothes, etc.

But the funds must come from older family members, surely?

Probably best not to say “obscene”, that’s a bit judgmental.

This go the thumbs up from my brood . Looks ace!

Well it's a lot more impressive than the Victoria sponge I made for my oh, decorated with M&Ms spelling out NO 1 KNOBHEAD and a tealight perched on top because I couldn't find the birthday candles 🤣🤣🤣

I have to say that Alice from VIcar of Dibley would have loved that cake! It’s very young at heart.

@Heather37231 Travellers are very traditional, so it's highly likely her Father paid for the wedding. I'm not sure why you're so concerned with who paid for their wedding?

The bride is very fancy. Huge cake huge hair huge crown huge dress dramatically dark tan and fierce exaggerated makeup. It’s a look for sure and it’s not just the cake.

That's brilliant 😁

Yes. Probably her dad. The lad asks the father's permission to date the daughter and then to marry her, it's all very traditional.

I prefer my cakes to be edible... But as long as they´re happy!

I don’t think The Savoy would be used to this kind of tat

That is insane! Also where is the actual cake part? The cake maker did do an amazing jobs but how do you get into the edible part?

But it is performative money spending. They have to be seen to spend an obscene amount.

Always in these weddings the bride is fake everything, done up to her nines, enormous tiara/crown, loo roll lady dress, and the groom looks like an Irish jockey who's never worn a suit before and is about to pass out.

The groom didn't look particularly impressed.

Don’t be such a crashing snob 😂. Trust me the Savoy doesn’t give a shit as long as the customer has plenty of money that they want to spend there.

I'm very surprised the Savoy would accept a booking from travellers to be honest
