Record breaking cake dress is highly impressive
At least the wearer won't go hungry...
It seems just when you think that someone has thought of the craziest and most 'out there' concept, someone else jumps onto the bandwagon and gets crazier.
One woman who shocked both the patisserie and wedding industry created something ingenious.
"Natasha Coline Kim Fah Lee Fokas, a baker from Switzerland, has bagged the Guinness World Record for creating the largest wearable cake dress (supported) that weighed 131.15 kg" (Hindustan Times)

After revealing her out-of-this-world cake to the Guinness World Record in January this year, she presented it at the Swiss World Wedding Fair.
"The dress had a circumference of 4.15 m, a height of 1.57 m and a diameter of 1.319. It was supported by an aluminium frame that acted as the skirt. It also had a small board that held the cake in place and wheels that helped the model walk in it easily." (Hindustan Times)

"A few years ago, I was in the middle of my work as a cake designer, in my then tiny ‘shop’, at the back of my mini studio and busy decorating a wedding cake, I had a crazy idea: How great would it be if a whole wedding dress was made of cake...?" (Hindustan Times)
After her crazy and pretty cool idea, she worked on the concept and was able to come up with her first design, which her youngest daughter modelled.
The most challenging part of her design process was figuring out how to make the inside part of the dress wearable, but also strong enough.
Well, with some trial and error, she certainly made it a success. And as Kamera Junior says, you can wear your cake and eat it too.
