A Texan woman had a wedding cake made into a life-sized model of herself.
Chidi Ogbuta, 35, had the 5ft cake made to renew her vows after 10 years of marriage to husband Innocent.
Healthcare assistant Chidi, from Dallas, said: "Growing up, I always wanted a doll in my likeness.
"So when we started planning our wedding I told my husband I wanted a unique wedding where my dream would come true.
"I told him I wanted a life-size cake in my resemblance, as I would look on my wedding day. He gave his consent without reservation."
The £3,000 cake took five weeks to make, needed two gallons of amaretto, 50lbs of sugar, 200 eggs and weighed a whopping 400lb.
It needed four men to lift it into the wedding venue.
Chidi added: "Originally, the plan was for two cakes, one of me and one of Innocent, but unfortunately we ran out of time."
