Reportedly costing $179K, this elaborate cake wowed guests at a wedding Sunday in Kazakhstan. Styled like a castle, the one-ton cake featured many moving parts including a small horse-drawn carriage that brought small representations of the wedding couple to the front door of the castle. From there, the figurines were whisked up to a balcony near the top of the cake.

Rough translation:
Realized the most complicated international project🔥 the diameter of the cake is 3 meters, the height is 4.2 (with the trolley). Weight about 1500kg. With such a size to deliver blanks to another country - it's VERY complicated! But we managed, because we have the strongest team of professionals in the world! 🔥🔥🔥 Before exporting the cake to the hall - exactly 3 days without sleep, but the result is worth it! I thank my team for a powerful leap into space. 🚀 I just appreciate and respect everyone😘❤️. I thank the host for very warm and sincere reception "! How pleasant it is to work when you are loved, valued and respected. " Well and most importantly - happiness for young and prosperity
