LeNovelle Cake, a family-run bakery in Jakarta, Indonesia, specializes in epic wedding cakes. From fairy-tale castles to glazed cathedrals and pagodas up to 7 meters tall and complete with detailed turrets, pillars and balconies, these guys can turn the most outlandish architectural design into a magnificent cake.
The world-famous bakery was founded in 1993 as a neighborhood cake business selling birthday cakes to friends and family, but it slowly grew and in 2004 it started selling wedding cakes under the LeNovelle Cake brand. Their designs have been getting more complex every year, and today they can have up to 24 people working 12 hours a day for over a month to complete just one of their sugar-coated masterpieces.
“We take on several projects at a time but three weeks to one month is what we average on when making our large cakes,” Tiffany Riyadi, whose parents run LeNovelle Cake, told Daily Mail. “We love putting in personal touches that show our clients their cake is truly made for them and is all about them.”
However, LeNovelle Cake claims that they can create 100% edible castles as well, they just haven’t gotten an order for one yet. The cost of making such a decadent treat is too prohibitive, Riyadi claims, plus no one needs that much cake anyway.
Prices for LeNovelle Cake’s elaborate creations start at $5,000, but the most expensive one they’ve ever made was sold for a whopping $500,000. The fact that it featured 100 diamond rings might have bumped up the price tag as well, though.
As you’ve probably already guessed after looking at these photos, LeNovelle Cake draws inspiration for its awe-inspiring creations from popular Disney films. Cinderella’s castle served as a model for several of the bakery’s elaborate cakes, and now Elsa’s ice castle has become an inspiration as well.
Le Novelle Cake was founded by Tiffany’s parents, Susanti Sunardjie and Ricky Riyadi, and currently has branches in Jakarta and Bali.
