The Specs and the Secrecy: Hansen and his team needed stepladders to decorate the seriously massive cake, which stood 8 feet tall and weighed nearly 600 pounds. Baked in L.A., it was to be transported in pieces to the Montecito in three separate unmarked vans and assembled on site. Each octagonal tier had a unique Italianate design. Patrick says he went through sketch after sketch until everyone—and a bunch of Kardashians and Jenners had an opinion—was happy. "There was so much pressure," he said. We guess it's not every day his customers are being tailed by 50 paparazzi.
A Real Tier-Jerker: Underneath all the razzle-dazzle, Kim, Kris and their guests dug into chocolate-chip marble cake with buttercream frosting. Separately prepared sheet cakes were what was ultimately served, because the real thing would have just been too much of a chore to cut!
It's the Memories That Are Priceless: The Kardashian-Humphries wedding cake cost a cool $20,000. And that's $15,000 more than the "average" cakes Hanson's prepares for lavish events.
