Bride Chidi Ogbuta of Allen, Texas had this life-sized wedding cake made to look just like her for her September 2007 wedding. These amazing pics are just making the rounds of the Internet now. I don't know how it took so long, because this cake is incredible! I love it. I think it came off well, and I give her props for such an unusual cake and dress.

Both great ideas had the potential to come off very tacky, but I think the results are actually positively dazzling. Would you agree?

8. It's a little scary actually, and I don't think I would want the guests to cut me, lol. But hey it was her day, glad she got what she wanted.

10. It looks beautiful. I wouldn't do it though because I am somewhat reserved. I can tell that she is not a shy person.

11. That was a great idea. Like to see who can top that.

12. I never comment on any issues online but in the true sense of things THIS TAKES THE CAKE! I think that a bride is entitled to get what she wants on her day and whoever did the cake is rather talented, but it just seemed sorta tacky to me.A little scary looking like someone dead. I mean if her new husband wants to eat her LOL fine but everybody else! I just think the wedding is all about the bride already the cake doesn't have to be. there should be something symbolic of the couple representing both of their taste, but it ain't my gig so WELL WISHES to THE BRIDE & GROOM

13. I could not eat it. It is too eerie!

Liz at 9:01AM on Jan 12th 2008

14. SIGNS THAT YOU KNOW U ARE TRULY GHETTO? HAVE A LIFE SIZED CAKE MADE TO LOOK JUST LIKE U.

THAT WAS NOT CREATIVE IT WAS GHETTO. GHETTO PEOPLE ALWAYS TRY TO BE THE FIRST TO DO SOMETHING "DIFFERENT" AND IT'S BORDERLINE BIZZARE.

AND HER "RED HAIR COLOR" IN THE CLOSE UP PICTURE ON HER WEDDING DAY WITH HARD LOOKING UP-DO WAS SECOND CLUE. MOST PEOPLE GO FOR SOFT HAIR ON WEDDING DAY. NO SPRITZ PLEASE!!

AND THE LOWER HALF OF DRESS WAS CUTE BUT WHEN U HAVE TO ASK....WHAT IS THAT? AT THE UPPER HALF IT WAS TRULY AN OVERKILL.

3RRRRD CLUE: THEY GOT A 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER RIDING IN THE CARRIAGE. I THOUGHT IT WAS FIRST LOVE...THEN COME MARRIAGE....THEN "BABYYYYYY" carriage.

NEVER SEEN 3RD PARTY RIDING IN DREAMY WHITE HORSE AND CARRIAGE.

I PROMISE I'M NOT HATING I'M FACTING!
