These cakes are huge and extravagant, strack tiered and with expensive decorations. There’s something for everyone in the cake world, from cakes fashioned like Wrigley Field to chicken biryani — as long as you have the bucks to back it up.

Cake Boss Cake

Everyone knows that a delicious cake is the best way to start a party, but unless you are a New York socialite, it is unlikely that you will spend near $30 million on one. Buddy Valastro of Cake Boss fame created a white 7-tier cake for Devorah Rose in 2011.

It is tough to understand how a cake can be so pricey when a bag of flour can be purchased for less than a dollar at the supermarket. Rose’s cake, on the other hand, contained some unusual elements; a plethora of expensive treasures, such as diamond jewelry and precious stones.

Pirate’s Fantasy Cake

We’ve all walked into a posh restaurant and gasped at the price of a bottle of wine, but can you imagine seeing a $35 million cake on the menu? Most of us would never consider such a luxury because it’s essentially flushing money down the toilet.

However, we can’t dispute that Chef D.K’s 10-layer “Pirate’s Fantasy” looks spectacular. So, what accounts for the high price? The delicious dessert is adorned with a variety of sapphires, but its splendor does not end there. It features more flavors than Ben and Jerry’s from Unilever, including yam, zucchini, coconut meringue, and more.

The Wedding Cake of Princess Diana

When Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer in 1981, it was a big deal that made the front pages of the newspapers. While we all know that their relationship did not end happily, we can still look back on the wedding with rose-colored glasses.

According to reports, Charles and Di had numerous wedding cakes, one of which was designed by Cef S.G Sender and David Avery. The “official” wedding cake was a five-tiered masterpiece that reportedly weighed over 200 pounds and cost $40,000 to make. Photos of it can still be found on a few social media platforms.

Cathedral Cake

Some cakes are meant to be consumed, while others are only meant to be revered by the public. This cake from Le Novelle Cakes was a stunning work of art, shaped like a cathedral and complete with turrets and cherubs. The level of attention to detail that went into this monster confection is incredible and worthy of praise.

The complete creation was constructed for a wedding cake event, likely to demonstrate the bakery’s capabilities to potential clients. This marvel was created in 2017, with Le Novelle documenting the day they had to disassemble and pack it away on social media.
