Imagine walking down the aisle on your big and snacking on your wedding dress. This baker could make it happen.
How would you like your wedding dress to be? A particular designer in mind, or are you obsessed with a specific color? Whatever it may be, it surely cannot beat the creativity of this Swiss baker, Natasha Coline Kim Fah Lee Fokas.
Imagine walking down the aisle on your big day and snacking on your wedding dress. It's made possible by the Switzerland-based baker as she makes wearable cake dress. Yes, you read that right.
A dress to say "I DO" that you can devour while walking down the aisle. And think about other pros like saving the budget for a wedding cake and a dress since it's a two-in-one. A winner, for sure.
Natasha designed this 289 pounds cake dress in a bid to set a Guinness World Record. And she managed to do just that. She entered the Guinness World Record by making the world's largest wearable cake. As reported by Guinness, the baker proved that "you can wear your dress and eat it too."
Natasha founded her bakery, Sweety Cakes, in 2014. On January 15, 2023, she unveiled her creation in Bern, Switzerland. She specializes in making custom cakes in Thun.
The baker took the dress to the annual Swiss World Wedding fair, held in Bern. The fair unveiled what's new and unique in the wedding industry. Spectators were left stunned as Natasha brought the cake dress out for the finale showdown of the fashion show.
The dress had to exceed 150 pounds and the model was required to walk at least five meters without falling to set the world record. Natasha's dress met the standards and won.
The special cake had meticulous details for it to work out perfectly. The cake had a traditional design, in the shape of a ball gown with flowers made of royal icing, a sweetheart neckline, and pleats running down the skirt.
Technical details ensured the shape and overall look of the dress. The pleated skirt stood on an aluminum frame and two metal bolts. The upper portion was a mix of fondant and sugar paste. To prevent the model from tripping, they fitted wheels at the bottom of the dress, which allowed smooth movement and equal distribution of the dress's weight.
The dress was weighed to qualify for the record. Before wearing the dress, the model's weight was measured to ensure no discrepancy in the actual weight of the dress.
The cake had a beautiful design, and after the show, the model stood still for people to devour the cake's divine taste. People in the fair cut slices of cake from the dress, and it looked like a mix of chocolate and vanilla flavors. A unique combination of taste and aesthetics, the dress was a work of art.
Instagram users had interesting reactions to the Guinness post. A user, @lediomaxhaku, couldn't believe it and wrote, "How is that even a thing." Another Instagram user, @pmghoul, had a funny take on the dress, "Wanna piece of me?"
@rose.xcvi had a fascinating thing to say for the foodies out there, "Tell me you have a food fetish without telling me you have a food fetish."
