This Michelle Wibowo wedding cake, sculpted in honor of Prince William and soon-to-be bride Kate Middleton, features two massive baked bust. This confection takes on the image of the world's most famous engaged couple.
I think what's also important to note about this Michelle Wibowo wedding cake is that, not only is it an incredible work of art, it is also a piece that would probably taste really good too. These edible statues are made out of fruit cake covered in apricot jam and has over 20 pounds of marzipan and 10 pounds of icing sugar. Never in my life have I wanted to take a bite out of someone's face more than I do now.
Who wouldn't want this Michelle Wibowo wedding cake? Though, you'd probably want it with your own likeness instead of the Prince's.
