A Swiss baker has turned heads and set a record by combining haute couture with high-calorie craftsmanship. Natasha Coline Kim Fah Lee Fokas, founder of the custom cake studio SweetyCakes, has officially entered the Guinness World Records for creating the world’s largest wearable cake dress. The extraordinary creation was unveiled during the Swiss World Wedding Fair held in Bern, Switzerland.
The cake dress, weighing an incredible 131.15 kilograms (289 pounds and 13 ounces), was crafted entirely from traditional cake ingredients. It featured multiple tiers and layers, adorned with delicate decorations including royal icing flowers and a classic sweetheart neckline.
Designed to resemble a wedding gown, the dress was both an edible artwork and a feat of structural baking. It was presented during the finale of the event’s fashion show, stunning attendees with its blend of culinary artistry and fashion flair.
Natasha founded SweetyCakes in 2014 in Thun, Switzerland, with a focus on personalized and imaginative cakes. Over the years, the bakery has become known for pushing creative boundaries, but this record-breaking project marked a bold new chapter for the brand. The success of the attempt placed Natasha and her team in the Guinness World Records, officially recognizing their cake dress as the “Largest wearable cake dress (supported).”
The record-breaking moment garnered significant attention online. Viewers and fans flooded social media with praise for the originality and craftsmanship behind the dress. One user joked, “Where’s the cake?” only to answer, “She’s wearing it.” Another added, “Pretty impressed she was able to walk around with that much weight on her shoulders; some people can’t even deadlift that.”
However, not all reactions were sweet. The dress also sparked criticism from some viewers who questioned the practicality and ethics of using that much food for an artistic display. Comments like, “A great way to waste food, I would say,” and, “They don’t know about world hunger, creative but wasteful,” reflected concerns about food sustainability. A few responses also took a humorous route, with one user writing, “What if she farts! Come on, let’s be practical.”
Despite the mixed reactions, Natasha’s cake dress remains a symbol of innovation, passion, and the ever-evolving relationship between food and art. It challenged traditional notions of both fashion and baking, bringing them together in a show-stopping moment that was literally good enough to eat.
Whether celebrated for its ambition or critiqued for its extravagance, the creation left a lasting impression on audiences around the world.
