Most Expensive Cakes In The World by NoFucksToGive: 1:51pm On Sep 20, 2021
Think of it in this way, What if your wedding cake had to be the most expensive wedding cake, how much would you be ready to shell on it? $2000, $20,000, what about $ 2 million ?

Ain’t that crazy? You heard that right the cakes on this list are next to unimaginable and unaffordable. What makes you go crazy is its look and design which does not even impress cent percent. Anyways like they say rich people rich taste, in other words, maybe we are out of their league of thinking. No matter whatever the equation seems to be; it’s better we take a look at what the top 14 most expensive cakes look like

The following list contains the most expensive cakes in the world

Liza Minnelli and David Gest’s towering wedding cake – $ 40,000
The wedding cake of Princess Diana – $ 40,000
Sofía Vergara And Joe Manganiello wedding cake – $50,000
Gucci Mane And Keyshia Ka’oi wedding cake – $75,000
Fiona Cairns Royal Cake for Princess Kate – $78,000
Platinum Cake by Nobue Ikara – $130,000
Masami Miyamoto’s Diamond Chocolate Cake – $850,000
Luster Dust Cake – $1.3 million
Africa Cake – $5 million
Nahid Parsa’s Luxury Bridal Show Cake – $20 million
Devorah Rose Diamond Gala Cake – $30 million
Dimuthu Kumarasinghe Pirates Fantasy Cake – $35 million
The National Gay Wedding Show’s Cake – $52 million
Debbie Wingham’s Runaway Cake – $75 million



14. Liza Minnelli and David Gest’s towering wedding cake – $40,000

Dimensions – Traditional 6 Tier (12 Tiers height)
Uniqueness – Floral decoration and it’s huge size
Occasion – Liza Minnelli and David Gest’s wedding
The towering wedding cake sits 14th on our list. Though so huge it does not forget to please the eye. This is one of the biggest cakes on this list. Red Aesthetics are gracing the cake from top to bottom and its design is consists of black and white layers. Silver sterling leaves and purple sugar roses make the cake look elegant. Having huge stars such as Michael Jackson at your wedding will obviously make you and your preparations anxious, however, Liza did not be a miser anywhere.


What’s funnier is that even though this is Liza’s fourth wedding she never fails to amaze everyone with the cake becoming the center of the eye. Adding more spice to the story their relationship lasted just 18 months !! Quite a sad way to spend $40,000 sad

13. The Wedding cake of Princess Diana – $40,000

Creator – Chef S. G. Sender, David Avery
Dimensions – 5 Tiers
Flavour – Fruit Cake
Uniqueness – Geometrics of the cake
Occasion – Princess Diana’s wedding
This Royal piece of beauty garnered attention when one of its slices was auctioned off even after 37 years of the wedding. This cake stood 5 Tiers tall with its core flavour being a fruitcake. The cake included the family coat of arms, the couple’s initials and intricate design of flowers. Each tier of the cake was drafted in the shape of a pentagon and was set up with Roman Columns. The cake looked like a German Christmas pyramid and was quite classic amongst the 27 other cakes that arrived at the wedding. Imagine spending this sort of money during the 1900s.

It’s really crazy that the fruitcake holds up for 137 years after the wedding for the auction. We know you so badly want to try baking a fruitcake don’t worry we got you covered up. Check out one of the easiest fruitcake recipes on the Internet. It just really shows the difference between today’s cakes and cakes from the past. Surely this cake marked its existence in history.

12. Sofía Vergara And Joe Manganiello wedding cake – $50,000

Created by – Sylvia Weinstock

Occasion – Sofía Vergara And Joe Manganiello wedding cake

We all know how much Sofia loves sweet things and what more of a better occasion than her marriage to flaunt one of the best looking cake in the world This was designed as a 5 layer masterpiece with white and ivory flowers drooling from each tier. The designer Sylvia is known as the queen of cakes and she knows how to justify her tag quite satisfyingly. The cake was designed to match the venue and theme of the wedding and oh good lord it did!!

Obviously, the wedding did not stay limited to just the cake but also made it talks for the variety of desserts it offered like different sundaes and customized toppings.

10. Prince William and Kate Middleton’s Royal wedding cake – $78,000
Created by – Fiona Cairns
Dimensions – 3 feet tall weighing 220 pounds structured in 8 Tiers.
Flavour – Fruitcake
Uniqueness – Strange for a Royal wedding cake to be this small ^_^
Occasion – Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding
10th on our list is the Royal cake from Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding. This cake stood just 3 feet Tall with the traditional 8 Tier structure. Honestly strange for being this small taking into account the history of cakes at the royal weddings. The cake had started taking shape 2 months before the wedding. Yes I know you might think that how could someone eat stale cakes at their wedding but this notion is completely wrong.

Fruit cakes take time to mature and have a longer shelf life compared to modern sponge cakes. The addition of alcohol to it helps them preserve better for a longer period of time. Not Royal Icing but the use of fondant is done in the making of this cake. The cake features 900 sugar paste bows, ribbons flowers, etc giving it a quite intricate and detailed look.

9. Nobue Ikara’s platinum cake – $130,000
Created by – Nobue Ikara
Flavour – Fondant cake with base flavour unknown
Uniqueness – draped in platinum chains, necklaces, pins, pendants, and edible foils/platinum flakes.
Occasion – Marketing gimmick by Platinum Guild International
Now tell me what do you think of this cake when its slapped with the price tag of $ 130,000? The first time we saw it our thought is that people have been shaking trees in order to earn money and therefore it’s so easy spending so much on a cake, instead we were proved wrong when we get to know that this was indeed created for a marketing gimmick rather than for tasting purposes.

Yes, Platinum Guild International is a brand that was promoting women to come closer towards platinum Jewellery and make more use of it. It’s the same brand that sponsored the making of this cake and even though the cake itself does not surprise you we had to put it on our list since the shine of the platinum could not drag our eye away. The cake is a fondant cake dressed in beautiful platinum jewelry and yes it’s not the only thing that covers up for its okayish design but also the fact that the cake has edible platinum flakes covered in plain fondant and frosting.

8. Masami Miyamoto’s Diamond Chocolate Cake – $850,000

Created by – Masami Miyamoto, Sa-Birth
Dimensions – 14-inch
Flavour – Unknown but reports state it as ganache chocolate.
Uniqueness – Layered with 100 diamonds!
Occasion – Marketing gimmick by Takashimaya departmental store.
Like the other delicacies on this list of the most expensive cakes in the world, this little beauty turns out to be the 8th costliest cake. The cake is decorated with 100 diamonds weighing up to a total of 50 carats. It takes the concept of a tree with its branches bearing beautiful fruits to it. The cake was created for marketing purposes to attract customers that come for Christmas shopping at a mall. It is kept for display at the Takashimaya department store in the western city of Osaka. The cake is set up for auction and has no buyers till date but the owners are confident justifying the price tag because of the jewelry attached to it.

7. Luster Dust Cake – $1.3 million

Created by – Dallas’ Delicious Cakes, Butch Stivers
Dimensions – 1 foot tall, weighing 160 pounds.
Flavour – Ivory fondant
Uniqueness – Studded with 240 diamonds and silver dust.
Occasion – Dallas Bridal Fair
This Luster dust cake was designed in 2010. Luster dust frosting is the main ingredient used in the making of this cake. It is dressed with a million-dollar worth diamonds and was created for the Dallas bridal fair, being kept on public display. The curvy lines of the cake were decorated with silver dust. This foam inserted cake had to be kept under a 24-hour watch and transported in an armored vehicle !!

The thing that we loved most about this cake is its colour and its specialization for the use of Ivory fondant. The Dallas bridal fair has never disappointed and facilitates the gateway for this cake as well as to draft this list of most expensive cakes in the world, with one of its creations to become part of the records.

6. Africa Cake – $5 million

Dimensions – Shaped as the African continent
Flavour – Chocolate Marble cake
Uniqueness – Boundaries embedded with diamonds
Occasion – Not known
What do you have to say about this $5 million cake? We do not have words to describe how wack we feel about it. If I’m spending 5 million on a cake I expect it to look the best, taste the best and even it should sing music to us by itself!! (just kidding…) This cake was created by a Jewelry store owner who was probably thinking he could put diamonds anywhere and make the cake a part of the most expensive cakes in the world. Its borders are embedded with real diamonds and the African continent tip being bombarded with it. The tip embossed with 2000 diamonds that depict Africa’s hotspots for diamond mines.

5. Nahid Parsa’s Luxury Bridal Show Cake – $20 million

Created by – Nahid Parsa
Dimensions – Stood 1 and 1/2 feet tall
Uniqueness – Gold flakes and Huge amount of diamonds.
Occasion – A Luxury bridal show
The Luxury Bridal Show held in Beverly Hills, California always has something to amuse its audience, in fact, if we were writing this article in 2006, this would be the most expensive cake back then. It’s elegant, it’s gorgeous and it’s one of the prettiest cakes on our list. (our most favorite) It is decorated with huge diamonds placed so elegantly on the cake that it’s hardly noticeable. It takes the shape of a bride’s gown and is truly majestic with the pink flowers blossoming at the bottom of the cake. The cake is covered in gold dust and gold flakes and was kept under heavy guard. Even though the cake was edible none were allowed to even come close to it since there were 6 guards alone guarding the cake during the event.

3. Dimuthu Kumarasinghe Pirates Fantasy Cake – $35 million

Created by – Chef D.K (Dimuthu Kumarasinghe)
Flavour – cinnamon, zucchini, purple yam, coconut chips as well as pistachio, rosemary, almond cookies, white chocolate, coconut meringue, baked cheese, sweet wineberry, pineapple, walnut, pumpkin, and lemon.
Uniqueness – The varying flavours in each bite, The KING SAPPHIRE.

The ten layered cake that boasts about it’s different taste in each layer.

If this list was about the 10 most innovative cakes of all time we would surely have this cake lingering around the top. What a justification to its price tag the cake consists of different flavours like the cinnamon, zucchini, purple yam, coconut chips as well as pistachio, rosemary, almond cookies, white chocolate, coconut meringue, baked cheese, sweet wineberry, pineapple, walnut, pumpkin, and lemon.

It is adorned with different precious stones belonging to the sapphire family. The rarest stone i.e the Padmaraja also known as the King sapphire was used.

2. The National Gay Wedding Show’s Cake – $52 million

Created by – Jules and Tim Smith
Dimensions – 8 tier
Flavour – White fondant cake with no disclosure on core flavour
Uniqueness – Apart from the Diamonds and the high price tag, Absolutely nothing.
Occasion – National Gay wedding show.
Another way of burning cash when it comes to spending on nothing. a 52 million price tag for a cake to be a part of the most expensive cakes in the world and no justification to it apart from its diamonds is not just worth the talk. This piece satisfied a purpose for a TV show aired in Liverpool. The cake took just 5 days for its bakers since there is nothing so special about it. Its existence is in use to break records and garner attention towards the event. Although being totally edible it gets our mood off for bragging such a top place on this list.

The owners of the cake that shattered so many records to become the costliest cake in the world had this to say.
” I know there is a lot going on with the recession, but this is only a bit of fun, it’s not to be taken seriously “
