Beautiful wedding cakes
So I’m reading the news on MSNBC, and stumbled upon The 50 Most Beautiful Wedding Cakes from coast-to-coast. I think they forgot the word “pricey” somewhere in the title because I don’t know anyone who spent 4 figures on their wedding cake, which clearly some of these are. Then again, sometimes price is not an issue for the “big day”. 
These two are mega-cute:

Elisa Strauss credits pop artist Wayne Theibaud, who painted precisely arranged cakes, doughnuts and pies, for her bundt-cake-to-cupcake tiers. Rolled fondant cake with edible pearls and handmade sugar accents.
