One of the most affordable projects was Lulwa, the “Million Dollar Bride”, which values $1 million. The bride was named Lulwa, because it means ‘pearls’ in Arabic. Its awesome dress was made of fondant, around 50 kilograms, 25 kilograms of chocolate, weighting 120 kilograms. The “Million Dollar Bride” had to be carried by six people.
“No one actually believes it’s a cake. In fact, she is as good as a living being for me. I call her Lulwa,” Debbie Wingham told Khaleej Times. “I have often been influenced by Middle Eastern culture. To actually make a Middle Eastern-inspired wedding cake is really up there with my other exciting endeavours. Most of my pieces are based on realism and I am glad that people liked it.”
