Celebrities like to celebrate their wedding in style. From the dress (have a look at the Best Celebrities Wedding Dresses of 2014), to the reception and the cake. For some, the wedding cake has to shine just as brightly as the bride’s ring. After all, the wedding cake is often used as more than just a dessert. They are a focal piece for which the entire color scheme and theme of the reception is based. With such an important position, a wedding cake must be beautiful, elegant, and above all, unique.

Prince Charles and Diana

Princess Diana and Prince Charles had a memorable wedding in 1981 – just on the cake they spent $40,000. Yes, Princess Diana decided her wedding day deserved 27 wedding cakes and a five-foot-tall main cake that supposedly took 14 weeks to prepare. The cake designer was David Avery of the Royal Naval Cookery School, who decorated the cake with roses, lilies of the valley, and orchids, along with the Prince’s family’s royal coat of arms.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries

While the height of the cake was extravagant, the colors of the cake were not. The black and white tiers gave a simplistic feel to the cake – and in the end it was far to large to cut. Oh, forgot the mention, the chocolate-chip cake weighted nealy 600 pounds.
