The Most Bizarre and Beautiful Celebrity Wedding Cakes Ever
When it comes to celebrity weddings, bigger is always better—especially when it comes to the cake. While some stars opt for traditional elegance, others take their confections to elaborate new heights. From towering sculptures to shocking designs, these celebrity wedding cakes prove that when money is no object, the sky’s the limit.
A gothic twist: Kat Von D and Rafael Reyes
Tattoo artist and beauty mogul Kat Von D is known for her dark and dramatic aesthetic. Her wedding cake was no exception. When she tied the knot with musician Rafael Reyes, the couple ditched the typical white-tiered cake in favor of an eerie, all-black confection, per Brides.
Covered in gothic embellishments and topped with a blood-red floral arrangement, this cake looked more suited for a haunted mansion than a wedding reception. The couple’s 2018 wedding subsequently followed that motif with a red and black theme for the bride, groom, and guests.
A $20M slice: Prince Charles and Princess Diana
A royal wedding is expected to be extravagant, but the cake served at Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s 1981 nuptials took luxury to another level. The five-foot-tall fruitcake, adorned with the royal coat of arms, became an iconic symbol of the historic event.
In Aug. 2021, a different slice of cake from Charles and Diana’s wedding sold for $2,500 reported TODAY. It came complete with a royal coat of arms, a decorative leaf spray, and a small silver horseshoe.
Kaley Cuoco’s optical illusion cake
Actress Kaley Cuoco’s 2013 wedding to Ryan Sweeting featured one of the most mind-bending cakes in Hollywood history. Designed to appear as though it was levitating above the table, the upside-down chandelier-style cake left guests in awe.
People Magazine reported the confection was suspended from the ceiling and dripping with crystals, this confection was as much an art piece as it was a dessert. The cakes were almond with toasted almond cream cheese buttercream frosting and chocolate almond cherry with cherry cream cheese buttercream frosting
Sofia Vergara’s floral masterpiece
For their 2015 wedding, actors Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello opted for an enormous, multi-tiered ice cream cake from Sylvia Weinstock. The cake was a six-tier masterpiece.
It was one of the highlights of the couple’s lavish Palm Beach wedding at The Breakers reported People Magazine. The dessert was decorated with hundreds of handcrafted sugar flowers, cascading down the sides in an all-white color scheme.
From gothic elegance to gravity-defying spectacles, these celebrity wedding cakes prove that stars love to push the boundaries of tradition. Whether they’re making a fashion statement or just aiming to impress, one thing is clear—when it comes to Hollywood nuptials, a simple cake just won’t cut it.
