Debbie Wingham’s Runaway Cake –

records when he bought this cake. He was just

this huge price tag are over 4000 diamonds
that have been embedded in this cake.

effort of Dallas’ Delicious Cakes and Dallas
Gold and Silver exchange. The exterior part of
the cake is made using luster dust frosting and
is decorated with worth more than one million

most expensive cake, worth $850,000. Jeweler Sa-
Birth decorated this cake with diamonds that went
perfectly well with the chocolate. This cake was

Fiona Cairns Royal Cake for Princess
Kate – $78,000

 Though you may find it weird that the royal
cake holds the 10th position in this list, yet it
has been an inspiration for many weddings
to follow. The cake made for the wedding
ceremony of Kate Middleton and Prince
William in 2011 indeed looked royal. It took
Fiona Cairns and her team of 50 designers
and bakers a full five weeks to work on this
beautiful piece. Kate Middleton herself had
given 17 lace and flowers from her wedding
dress and each of them was beautifully
included in the cake.
