   It was made of foam, but if it were real, no cake from any catering service in Durham could match its attributes: it could weigh about 160 pounds and serve about 320 people, with each slice costing $3,125 per slice.

"We wanted to do something different this year," said Butch Stivers , owner of Delicious Cakes . "With the economy being bad -- and we do the  Dallas Bridal Show so many years -- we wanted to do something that the new brides-to-be could see and dream about and get their minds off everything else that's going on."

   Although Stivers admitted that this is not the first time that he had decorated a cake with diamonds, he said that this is the first cake which he has spent $1.3 million worth of Jewelry.

   Due to the high price of the Most expensive display wedding cake , it had to be transported in an armored vehicle to the Market Hall with armed guards surrounding the perimeter.
