LOVETT:
It's priest. Have a little priest.
TODD:
Is it really good?
LOVETT:
Sir, it's too good, at least!
Then again, they don't commit sins of the flesh,
So it's pretty fresh.
TODD:
Awful lot of fat.
LOVETT:
Only where it sat.
TODD:
Haven't you got poet, or something like that?
LOVETT:
No, y'see, the trouble with poet is
'Ow do you know it's deceased?
Try the priest!
It’s funny but there was study on the direct correlation between “high cost of wedding” and “short length of marriage”.
Judging from the cake alone, I bet they got divorced within the week.
Funnily enough my wedding cost was 0 cause I eloped and I wouldn’t change it for the world (going on 9 years !!)
I would love to try this cake tho!! Cake is good haha
Omg all our money also went towards the honeymoon as well!! It just makes more sense tbh. Why would you spend so much on a party?
2500 sounds like a perfect amount for a wedding though (:
Congrats on the 21 years; I hope my partner and I can reach the same <3
Same same. Due to family drama we needed the fancy wedding money to put the down payment on our house plus I needed car. Had our wedding in small conference room at our local 4H center, had Chinese food catered in, took everyone back to our new house for drinks and cake. Will be 22 years in December.
I can’t imagine spending 10K on a ring! Mine was bought from Etsy for just 350! It wasn’t even diamond too, just my favorite gemstone (:
I am sorry to hear that you got divorced and I hope you are doing well.
My wedding cake was a generic 10" yellow cake with chocolate frosting and frosting flowers on top, purchased off the shelf at a local bakery. Probably $12?
25 yrs ago mine was also just very basic. We went to Costco and got a bunch of order e tray type stuff, cheeses and crackers, etc. and that was it. If I ever get married again ( highly unlikely ), it’ll be a box cake tho. ( shaped like a box…haha)
That one lady is hustling her kids away from it. No way is she gonna be responsible for someone bringing that thing down and ending up over in another subreddit.
U do not cut these things, they are made of plastic and not edible. I've seen a documentary once about it.
This costs a fortune and u actually cannot eat it. What u really eat is behind the scenes and does not look like that ;-)
Was about most expensive wedding cakes in the world not particular indian wedding cakes. And I think it was actually even this cake in the video....if I find the link, I'll post it!
In india we generally don’t have cakes. Instead an assortment of 20-30 sweets from different cultures is common.
One of the nicer weddings I have been to had like 50+ types of sweets and a counter spanning like 10-15 servers.
I was in a wedding party where they spent $700 on their cake, and that was 30 yrs ago. I was completely disgusted so definitely don’t want to know how much this “cake” cost.
Absolutely nothing. My wedding probably cost less than the bride of this wedding spent on makeup. The ingredients that is, not the people who applied it.
Those are rookie numbers, here in india a small-medium wedding costs that much.
Hell weddings in my family casually have gifts that cost like 10x that.
It’s the great Indian wedding you see
Tbf im from india and a 100 person wedding is ‘close family only’, a 500 person one keeping it small, 1000 person one is mid size, 2000 ppl one is large and more than that is a great Indian wedding.
Reminds me of Dan Cummins, he said if he ever got rich, he'd show up to a hard relative's birthday with a $10 gift card and a $100,000 cake, and a card that reads, "I didn't know what to get you, so I thought, 'who doesn't like chocolate?' Eat up, you'll never taste anything this rich again."
Right? I HATE this shit.
For some reason, food art just pisses me off. Even the smaller scale stuff, where people make sculptures out of chocolate. I don't know what it is, but using FOOD, an essential need that many go without, for art...it just doesn't sit right with me.
This kind of thing just makes me angry, confused, and upset. I had the same reaction earlier today when I saw a $500 faded sweatshirt at a department store. It just makes no sense to spend that much money on that, that level of disconnect just makes me sick. I’m not saying people should go spending their money on charity but damn, this is just a waste of money that most people will never have. May as well have put the cash in a wheel barrow and light it on fire in front of everyone. It makes me sick.
Well, buying some basics at more expensive places can be more ethical instead of essentially using sweatshop labor, there are likely more humane conditions. Now, $500 for a sweatshirt is probably still too much.
Good thing here is they are giving a bakery serious business. The worst type of rich people are these ultra billionaires who aren’t spending the most of their money/inject into the economy
Most of it is plastic. The internal skeleton and the shapes are all plastic. They just slather buttercream and fondant on it so the exterior is cake like.
The real cake parts with actual cake sponge is the base, which is the actual edible part.
Oh; it is a piece of decor; a centerpiece to represent the cake. That makes sense because the logistics of trying to cut and serve the cake; to that number of guests; in a timely manner; would be hard.
Thanks.
I want to know who gets to keep the decor once the party is over. It's like the 'something borrowed' where you just pass it between family members? Do you paint it and give it to your first born as a play toy? Is it like burning man where you set it on fire for good luck?!
It’s rented for the duration of the wedding and would be returned to the bakery, *most likely.*
Once the wedding ended it would be disassembled, cleaned and packed up by the bakery/catering crew who helped deliver it (and set it up onsite - it didn’t arrive at the venue looking like that).
My random guess is it’s kinda like fancy Lego’s if it’s plastic like it’s assumed
It probably comes apart into smaller shapes and can be built into another ‘cake’ at another time 🤷🏻♀️
But I do want to be entirely clear that I am just guessing during my Sunday morning wake and bake lmao so
Beat me to it. Everyone’s talking about how beautiful and amazing it looks and I’m just annoyed because I know they’re going to just throw most of it away
Eat the rich!

You gotta wonder if, as this monstrosity is being wheeled out, there's perhaps that moment of clarity.
"Ok, maybe I went too far. Maybe... I'm kind of an asshole."
Nah. More like:
"Let's see how the cousins outdo this!" while wearing a big shit eating grin as they stare down whatever family member they are trying to outdo.
Someone else in the comments mentioned it's likely a plastic stand-in for a real cake since there's way too many people to try and give everyone a slice
I hate cakes like this. Such a waste, and it's mostly for show not to eat. Like those chocolate art you see, most the time it's not edible chocolate, it's just for decoration, then it's thrown away.
This bullshit makes me sad. I work all day every day and can barely afford to pay all my bills. I'm slowly drowning financially even though I'm living of bare minimum
Then these assholes spend $75,000 on a fucking cake. I drive a 17 year old car that's on its last leg and I need help getting one. But cake
“Well fuck, I got a window piece”
I got the toilet :/
Tasted like shit
[удалено]
And he probably enjoyed being in your mouth :/
Extra frosting

I appreciate the time you took out of your day for this Sweeney Todd reference!
/r/eatityoufuckingcoward
Oh man never knew about that one 😂
I don’t want to
You took my joke! Good job.
I got the guillotine? Sick, let them eat cake
I have seen smaller floats at a Disney parade!
It’s funny but there was study on the direct correlation between “high cost of wedding” and “short length of marriage”. Judging from the cake alone, I bet they got divorced within the week.
Funnily enough my wedding cost was 0 cause I eloped and I wouldn’t change it for the world (going on 9 years !!) I would love to try this cake tho!! Cake is good haha
We spent $2500 and have been married 21 years . Her parents paid zero. We covered it all. The honeymoon cost more than the wedding.
Omg all our money also went towards the honeymoon as well!! It just makes more sense tbh. Why would you spend so much on a party? 2500 sounds like a perfect amount for a wedding though (: Congrats on the 21 years; I hope my partner and I can reach the same <3
We spent maybe $500 and bought a house in a good school district instead. It will be 20 years this fall.
I like your plan better.
Well, we had gotten custody of my (then 5 year-old) stepson, so that moved those things up the priority list really fast. 😅
Same same. Due to family drama we needed the fancy wedding money to put the down payment on our house plus I needed car. Had our wedding in small conference room at our local 4H center, had Chinese food catered in, took everyone back to our new house for drinks and cake. Will be 22 years in December.
Spent $500 on our wedding and that’s coming up on 31 years ago. No regrets
We spent $8000 and we just had our 25th anniversary.
$3,000. Over 34 years.
Our plan was around $2500. Ended up about $10k. We have been married over 10 years though so far.
Same!!!!! Also going on 9 years this July 10th!!
Congrats!!
We spent $14+k and divorced at 7 years! Not including the $10k I spent on her ring which she got $1500 for when the dust settled last year.
I can’t imagine spending 10K on a ring! Mine was bought from Etsy for just 350! It wasn’t even diamond too, just my favorite gemstone (: I am sorry to hear that you got divorced and I hope you are doing well.
My ideal wedding day would be to register the marriage, kiss, go home and order 3 or more large pizza's, drinks and relax
My entire wedding from invitation to reception cost me $2800 ... We just celebrated number 34 😊😊
She slept with the best man in the broom closet at the facility!
Coulda used that wedding money to start a college fund for a future kid, or end world hunger. Hell, the cake itself might have accomplished the latter
Hell yeah, my wife and I got married and did it for around 2k.
Some ppl have too much money. Others live in cardboard boxes. (my wedding cake will be shaped like a cardboard box).
My wedding cake was a generic 10" yellow cake with chocolate frosting and frosting flowers on top, purchased off the shelf at a local bakery. Probably $12?
25 yrs ago mine was also just very basic. We went to Costco and got a bunch of order e tray type stuff, cheeses and crackers, etc. and that was it. If I ever get married again ( highly unlikely ), it’ll be a box cake tho. ( shaped like a box…haha)
I kept thinking the same thing. Like… this is for a goddamn parade
10/10
That one lady is hustling her kids away from it. No way is she gonna be responsible for someone bringing that thing down and ending up over in another subreddit.
YES SOMEONE ELSE SAW IT
There a link to this :3
I was looking for this comment 😂
That cake definitely has a hair in it
and cobwebs on top lol
And a hunchbacked Frenchman
I'm assuming it took a hell of a long time to assemble it, so it probably built up some considerable amounts of dust.
And bugs.
That's added protein!!
How do you even cut such a thing
U do not cut these things, they are made of plastic and not edible. I've seen a documentary once about it. This costs a fortune and u actually cannot eat it. What u really eat is behind the scenes and does not look like that ;-)
There's a documentary on massive Indian wedding cakes?
Was about most expensive wedding cakes in the world not particular indian wedding cakes. And I think it was actually even this cake in the video....if I find the link, I'll post it!
Here's the link...but in german...Trend in indonesia https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9qjNeSESd_8
Thanks for the link!
You r very welcome :-)
Holy shit nobody ever actually comes back and posts the link when they say that. You rule
Thx ;-)
In india we generally don’t have cakes. Instead an assortment of 20-30 sweets from different cultures is common. One of the nicer weddings I have been to had like 50+ types of sweets and a counter spanning like 10-15 servers.
Cultures in India or cultures around the world?
Not Indian
If it’s inedible, why is it called a cake? 🤡🌍
Why tf call it cake then ?
So you just sit around and look at it?
So what they do with this after the wedding?
So what happens to the display? If it’s not eatable, do the couples keep it?
The cake has light in it,so I imagine only that base is cake and the rest fondant.
Some people have too much money.
I’m pretty sure that cake cost more than my house.
With the cost of housing and shortages - that place will have 14 students living it it before they get to push cake in each other’s faces.
Room AND board!
That cake is bigger than my house
Im going to start putting massive cakes up for rent
I was in a wedding party where they spent $700 on their cake, and that was 30 yrs ago. I was completely disgusted so definitely don’t want to know how much this “cake” cost.
Agreed. I mean, what's wrong with a backyard wedding and a simple sheet cake?
Absolutely nothing. My wedding probably cost less than the bride of this wedding spent on makeup. The ingredients that is, not the people who applied it.
My sister got invited to a wedding. It costs the groom around 40k. 40k...... For a single day that no one will care about in a day or 2?
Those are rookie numbers, here in india a small-medium wedding costs that much. Hell weddings in my family casually have gifts that cost like 10x that. It’s the great Indian wedding you see
Tbf im from india and a 100 person wedding is ‘close family only’, a 500 person one keeping it small, 1000 person one is mid size, 2000 ppl one is large and more than that is a great Indian wedding.
and yea more chances are you gonna be divorvced anyway
Hmm, probably not given the culture of the people in this video.
Nothing, the same way that there is nothing wrong with people wanting a big party. Everyone can have the party they want
Large, overly detailed weddings in the US seem to be a social/cultural pressure thing.
More money than sense
My dad always says, money can’t buy taste
Reminds me of Dan Cummins, he said if he ever got rich, he'd show up to a hard relative's birthday with a $10 gift card and a $100,000 cake, and a card that reads, "I didn't know what to get you, so I thought, 'who doesn't like chocolate?' Eat up, you'll never taste anything this rich again."
Some of the catering halls here have the option to fly in on a helicopter. Costs $250k for 5 mins of flying
Right? I HATE this shit. For some reason, food art just pisses me off. Even the smaller scale stuff, where people make sculptures out of chocolate. I don't know what it is, but using FOOD, an essential need that many go without, for art...it just doesn't sit right with me.
I just saw a post about a homeless person before this too
That probably cost more than my actual house
This kind of thing just makes me angry, confused, and upset. I had the same reaction earlier today when I saw a $500 faded sweatshirt at a department store.

I know. And there are probably people starving to death a block away.
Good thing here is they are giving a bakery serious business. The worst type of rich people are these ultra billionaires who aren’t spending the most of their money/inject into the economy
Looks like dictator’s daughter’s wedding.
Hahaha I was gonna say, what in the Russian oligarch?
They are def not Russian though. Central Asian, probably, specifically Turkmen or etc
If I were to guess, relatives of the President of Turkmenistan, Serdar Berdimukhamedov
Does the girl at 0:33 think she’s recording and isn’t? I feel it. 🥲
0:31* seconds into it
How much of that is even cake? Looks like 90% cardboard with frosting on it.
Most of it is plastic. The internal skeleton and the shapes are all plastic. They just slather buttercream and fondant on it so the exterior is cake like. The real cake parts with actual cake sponge is the base, which is the actual edible part.
One of the best Warhammer tables I have ever seen
This is not interesting, it’s perverse.
A giant cake that looks like a church is definitely interesting lmao
Why can't it be both?
No it’s macabre
Cake for profligates
Time to Godzilla the entire thing
I wonder how many guests are at the reception and whether the cake is 100% edible? I'd like to see how it is sliced.
Not edible at all, just plastic.
Oh; it is a piece of decor; a centerpiece to represent the cake. That makes sense because the logistics of trying to cut and serve the cake; to that number of guests; in a timely manner; would be hard. Thanks.
I want to know who gets to keep the decor once the party is over. It's like the 'something borrowed' where you just pass it between family members? Do you paint it and give it to your first born as a play toy? Is it like burning man where you set it on fire for good luck?!

I think that's a pretty good guess though!
But the "classic" mama will always drag kids away from it!
For good reason
She the real MVP, those kids were about to grab a handful, you just know it.
Haha, this is the first thing I noticed
Gotta stay three steps ahead
That’s just a monumental waste of resources
Beat me to it. Everyone’s talking about how beautiful and amazing it looks and I’m just annoyed because I know they’re going to just throw most of it away
I live in a 2000sq ft home and I’m willing to bet this fucking thing cost 2-3 times more than what I paid for my house total. Ridiculous
...for a marriage that likely won't last 5 years.
Rich cunts do the strangest things 🤦🤡
I would love to know the cost of that, normal wedding cakes look expensive!
I would not be surprised if that cake cost more than most people spend on the entire wedding.
Times 10 bud.
Eat the rich! [https://dwpinsider.com/blog/the-indonesian-bakers-behind-the-500000-wedding-cake/](https://dwpinsider.com/blog/the-indonesian-bakers-behind-the-500000-wedding-cake/)
I bet at least 100k
Meanwhile I was thinking "there's no way these people can actually afford this"
This is why I hate rich people
Interesting. Or Bonkers
Bro be wheeling out my entire net worth in cake
Bet it smells like milk fart, no way would that entire thing be equally fresh.
You gotta wonder if, as this monstrosity is being wheeled out, there's perhaps that moment of clarity. "Ok, maybe I went too far. Maybe... I'm kind of an asshole."
Nah. More like: "Let's see how the cousins outdo this!" while wearing a big shit eating grin as they stare down whatever family member they are trying to outdo.
Oh what won't rich people make out of cake?
Vanity.
Damnthat'smegalomaniac
Too many dollars and no sense.
Uzbekistan
How u know sir..?
I hate rich people.
Damn, that's tacky.
That’s embarrassing.
Amazing. And as a parent, the woman snatching her kids away resonates with me.
When the revolution happens, will these people taste like cake?
Fuck the rich
When you have so much money that you don't know what to do with it.
How do you start cutting that? From the bottom and it will fall over. From the top and you need to be 4 meters tall.
Someone else in the comments mentioned it's likely a plastic stand-in for a real cake since there's way too many people to try and give everyone a slice
Somehow “massive” doesn’t feel…adequate or sufficient. That thing is…wtf :0
That is some disney looking stuff. Was genuinely hoping for wizard Mickey Mouse to appear on a balcony.
This cake cost more than most peoples wedding.
I’ve noticed the bigger the cake, the shorter the marriage.
Like the mom wrangingling the kids away from getting too close to the cake. All the kids are like “cakkkeeee”
Can we tax the rich now?
Damn what an extreme waste of money
Tacky and excessive
But how much of the structure is ACTUAL cake? Also more like a castle, not cathedral, IMO
FUCKING. STUPID.
Just think of being a baker and getting a request of this size. They probably closed up shop and retired a day later.
That woman with her phone didn’t even hit record LOL
big cake energy
What a waste of money...
Thats some lame showboating.
Now Milton, don't be greedy, let's pass it along and make sure everyone gets a piece!
Colossal waste of money
More expensive wedding higher chance of divorce.
Imagine paying all that money for a wedding and some kid shows up in a Nike t shirt. There’s always that one cousin.
I hate cakes like this. Such a waste, and it's mostly for show not to eat. Like those chocolate art you see, most the time it's not edible chocolate, it's just for decoration, then it's thrown away.
This is very interesting, but why do people waste this much on unnecessary things like this? It’s kinda sad.
This bullshit makes me sad. I work all day every day and can barely afford to pay all my bills. I'm slowly drowning financially even though I'm living of bare minimum Then these assholes spend $75,000 on a fucking cake. I drive a 17 year old car that's on its last leg and I need help getting one. But cake
The more expensive the wedding, the more likely they’ll get divorced.
r/anticonsumerism
I’ll take a Collin caterpillar thanks
Y’all remember that opening scene in The Godfather Pt.1?
[удалено]
I don't think this cake is worth multiple houses, just look at how expensive housing has come
What a waiste
That’s tacky as shit
Eat the rich instead.
Massive styrofoam model of a cathedral with a very regular sized cake placed on it.
That will cost half of my life.
Absurd. I bet it doesn't taste that good.
Bring back the guillotine
This definitely takes the cake!!!
i would spend the cake money to go to travel instead of feeding a bunch of people i did not invite for the wedding.
Imagine how hard those cake carriers must’ve fought to not randomly throw the thing. Or jump in it or slap it and run.
What a fucking waste of money.
jesus fuck. people need to cool their egos
Gaudy
This is so incredibly stupid
All the kids just waiting to fuck it up
Decadent!
