Weddings are the one day when no soon-to-be-married couple can be blamed for going all out. And this is all the more true for celebrity weddings. After all, our favorite Hollywood celebs leave no stone unturned in being the lavish face of tabloids, splattering their fairytale photos all over cyberspace, making buzz about the most extravagant of preparations for their big day, and ultimately, giving us that one ‘perfect’ wedding!

In this ‘wedding of dreams,’ not only do celebs clothe themselves in the perfect nuptial ensembles, dress their venue in ethereal décor, and make us swoon over their invites and wedding favors but they also ensure that the multi-tiered paean to the gods of sweetness – the beautiful edible edifice that is the result of countless tastings stands tall as a central attraction for them and the guests alike. Needless to say, the celeb couples dole out a jaw-dropping amount of green – that isn’t quite the price tag we, normal folks, would spend on a luxury automobile either – on these beautiful wedding cakes. It wouldn’t be much to say that the dough they spend on batter and frosting alone serves in the creation of extravagant wedding cakes that put the final icing on the ‘wedding of their wildest dreams.’
