If you think wedding cakes are expensive, you should try comparing them to this Platinum Cake by Japanese pastry chef Nobue Ikara. Draped in platinum necklaces, pendants and pins, this white cake is worth over $130,000.
The cake itself is dedicated to several famous Japanese women, including actress Rinko Kikuchi (from Babel) and model Chie Kumasawa and was commissioned in order to entice women to buy more platinum jewelry.
Mikiko Ichikawa, of the Platinum Guild, said: "I think platinum and a white cake is the best possible combination as a present for women because both have the same colour of white, which is said to have pureness and brightness that lasts forever."
What do you think? Does it make you want to buy more platinum?

Not really, it does make me want to EAT more platinum though! This is really pretty, but maybe a leeeetle bit overpriced, unless you get to keep all of the jewelry at the end of the wedding reception!
1WOW!
2What a cake, and a price!
Holy man, do people wactally pay this much for their wedding cakes?!!
Wow. All that money and I don't even find it pretty!

I agree with ALSW.
4I don't know about buying more platinum, but it makes me want some cake.
5uhm it's a little tacky...
and yes, i do want cake
6i think it's ugly and i like gold
7Wow, that's crazy.
8um no, this is ugly
9Umm...doesn't make me want more platinum, but it DOES make my teeth hurt just by thinking about biting into metal.
Yuck.
10I think he decorates withs huge diamonds too, if im not wrong... What I'm wondering is, do they wear the jewerly later?
11Just will be a sticky mess
12It's not a pretty cake...
13what a waste of money...this thing is hideous!
14That is crazy, muy muy caro.
15I hate food that is covered in inedible decorations. You have to destroy the look of the cake to take all of that crap off (okay, platinum jewelry isn't crap, but you catch my drift).
16So stupid.
17looks kinda messy
18looks kinda slapped together for it being so expensive... I mean come on... half the battle is presentation right???
19i do like platinum but not used in that way. i agree with others about it looking kinda messy!
20Not at all, but now I want cake. (chocolate please)
21very 20's flapper, which i usually like but this cake is one big mess. i'm not a fan of fondant, either, after watching the Ace of Cakes... those people are forever all up in those cakes with their faces and constantly touching them with their hands. i might trust the bald guy to do one, but still YUCK!! does platinum really need advertising??
22I like platinum, but the white against the platinum makes all the jewelry look so dull and ugly.
23thats crazy
24This idea is stupid and won't work. The only way to get women to buy more platinum is to find more sources for platinum so it won't be so expensive. Platinum is often times twice the price of gold and even more rare to find excluding wedding and engagment rings. That is why alot of women ( including myself ) have platinum wedding sets but find it uneccesary to have other jewelry in platinum especially diamonds and precious gems.
25I already like platinum over gold. But since I can't afford either, I would really just rather have the cake. Chocolate instead please...
26that's the silliest thing i have ever seen. seriously, ever.
27if you take all those pointless necklaces off of it, it's a cake that is probably like only a 100 bucks then haha
28Yeah, this is stupid. Anyone can bake a cake and drape jewelry on it. There's nothing special about this other than the price. But yeah, I want some cake, too.
29it looks like something they would have at mardi gras.
