As expected, our local version of the “Royal Wedding” of Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera did create quite a stir and even grabbed front page news.

Reactions were mixed with some calling it a fairytale come to true while others bashed it as a blatant display of extravagance.

But of  all the controversies regarding the preparations, prenup video, wedding gown, nothing takes the cake-except, well– the wedding cake itself.

U.S. SHOW. ABC News’ Good Morning America said it may just be the “world’s largest cake.”

Check out this video:

The 12-foot 5-tiered cake made by Goldilocks had to be carried by 10 people to the the Mall of Asia Arena for the reception .

The current record-holder for the world’s largest wedding cake in the Guinness World Records weighed “six tons” or “15,032 pounds.” It was made by the chefs of Mohegan Sun Hotel and Casino in Connecticut for the New England bridal showcase in 2004.

But its not just the size or its 3D mapping that has been the hot topic lately but more so with many people speculating on its exact cost,which according to reports amount to P7 million.


Through her personal Facebook account, Goldilocks New Business Director Pinky Yee finally puts closure on the issue.

“It would be in poor taste to reveal the exact price of the cake, and out of respect for the newlyweds, I would never disclose such a private detail, Yee posted on her Facebook Wall.

Yee, however, ascertained that the cake did not cost P7 million. “…this is to categorically state that the cost of the cake falls way below the reported P7Million mark.”

The Goldilocks executive said they were very proud of their creation and was worth the cost. “Admittedly, I fell a certain amount of pride that the #DongYanWedding cake has gained so much traction, as it indicates that the beauty and craftsmanship of the cake justifies the amount. Indeed, it is a masterpiece of both technology and art, with the latest cutting-edge techniques in video mapping applied to cake design and decoration.
