Life Size Wedding Cake…

From time to time I will watch Ace of Cakes, Cake Boss or even D.C. Cupcakes, but this spectacle is something that I have never seen before.  Chidi Ogbuta of Allen, Texas, childhood dream was to have a doll made in her likeness…most people would opt to just get an American Girl Doll, but noooo this was not good enough for Chidi.  Instead, she decided to find a pastry chef to bake a dress cake and another person to mold the upper portion of her to be exactly like her.  Between the two they were able to sculpt and mold this ghettotastic idea into a reality!  I don’t know if I’m more thrown off by the fact that this is not actually her “wedding day”, but rather her “vow-renewal day” (10 years) or by the fact that she is so vain that she actually wanted a whole 5’5” cake to celebrate herself….uhhh I mean her marriage.  Furthermore, with the 5+ weeks it took to create this cake, I’d really like to know how edible the cake was.    I can hear her now… “does this dress make my butt look fat?”…answer?  no, but it will once you finish this cake!
