Baroque Kitsch Life-Size 80s Wedding Cake

Let Them Be Part Of The Cake! Step inside this kitsch and beautiful work of art, a 12-metre-tall ceramic sculptural pavilion in the form of a three-tiered cake crowned with a golden summit. Enjoy a unique, richly sensory experience inspired by the exuberant Baroque buildings and decorative ceramic traditions of Lisbon. Thousands of gleaming, icing-like ceramic tiles decorate the cake, with glossy icing, dolphins, putti, mermaids, and Cupids in pastel colours, all made in a traditional Portuguese manufactory and glazed in pale pinks, greens, and blues. Further adorned with sculptural ornament and the soothing sounds of trickling water, the Wedding Cake stands within a grove of trees alongside a sought-after 19th-century entertaining space. This venue is a playful continuation of the tradition of placing fanciful buildings in gardens, offering a perfect setting for unique events, dream backdrop for photo studios and film locations.
