Recreating Venezuela Fury’s Wedding Cake
The wedding has happened, the cake has been revealed – and what a project it was!
Earlier this year, Quality Cake Company was selected by The Sun newspaper as the wedding cake supplier for its incredible £40,000 dream wedding competition, inspired by the wedding of Venezuela Fury and Noah Price.
On 21 October 2026, winning couple Karis Tottoh and Chris Livesey celebrated their big day at Walworth Castle in County Durham, complete with our towering, approximately eight-foot wedding cake.
We’re delighted to have been part of their celebration – and to see the finished cake featured in The Sun’s coverage of their wedding.
From The Fury Wedding To A £40,000 Dream Wedding
The Sun launched its “My Big Fat Sun Wedding” competition following Venezuela Fury and Noah Price’s wedding, giving one couple the chance to win a luxury wedding package worth around £40,000.
Hundreds of couples entered, with the winners chosen by a judging panel led by singer Peter Andre, who also performed at Venezuela and Noah’s wedding.
The prize brought together a team of suppliers to help create an unforgettable celebration, with Quality Cake Company selected to recreate a version of the famous wedding cake.
It was an exciting invitation for our Tamworth team – and a rather sizeable addition to the diary!
A Warm Welcome From Karis & Chris
We drove up to Walworth Castle the night before the wedding to deliver and set up the cake. It was also the first time we met Karis and Chris — and they made us feel welcome straight away.
When they saw the finished cake, they were stunned. Karis’s eyes filled with tears, and they both told us it looked amazing. They were so grateful and gave us huge hugs. After all the planning, decorating and careful transporting, that was a lovely moment to share.
There was one conversation with Karis that will stay with us for a long time. She told us that, just six months earlier, she had been planning her funeral. Now, the following day, she would be marrying her best friend.
Hearing that from her on the evening before her wedding was incredibly moving. It brought home just how much this day meant to them both.
Even with their wedding just hours away, they took the time to include us and made us feel part of the celebration. When they invited us to attend the ceremony the following day, we couldn’t say no.
The date held a special meaning, too. Karis and Chris had chosen what would have been her dad’s birthday. Although he had sadly passed away, celebrating on that date was a lovely way to make him part of their day.
And there was another connection: Karis’s dad had known Tyson Fury. With the competition inspired by Venezuela Fury’s wedding, that detail made the whole story feel even more as though it was meant to be.
Karis and Chris were such a kind, welcoming and deserving couple. We feel very lucky to have been invited into their celebration and to have shared a little part of a day that meant so much.
And Then There Was The Cake…
This was certainly not your average three-tier wedding cake.
Our brief was to capture the enormous scale and dramatic proportions of the cake seen at Venezuela Fury and Noah Price’s wedding, while adapting it for Karis and Chris’s celebration.
The design combined ivory tiers with flowers in cream, peach and orange, giving the recreation an autumnal feel.
Multiple extra-tall tiers created the towering silhouette, making the cake a real statement centrepiece.
And when we say towering… we mean towering.
At around eight feet tall, it comfortably towered over Izzy, who is only 5ft 2in. This was very much a step-ladders-on-the-packing-list sort of project!
Behind The Scenes – Creating A Giant Wedding Cake
Before the flowers, finishing touches and castle setting, there was a very tall stack of undecorated display tiers in our Tamworth shop.
Naturally, Izzy had to have a little fun with them first. If you’re wondering quite how big this project was, the photograph of her peeking around the tiers gives you a fairly good idea!
Using decorative display tiers allowed us to create that extraordinary height, with cake provided for the wedding guests to enjoy. Planning the structure, proportions, transport and assembly was just as much a part of the project as the decorating.
Then there were the flowers.
The floral cascade brought together the warm autumn colours with ivory and cream blooms, foliage and gold details. Laid out across the worktable during preparation, you could really appreciate how much decoration would go into the finished design.
Once assembled at Walworth Castle, the flowers swept down the towering tiers, bringing the whole cake together.
We have created a number of large wedding cakes previously, but this one certainly took things to another level.
From those first undecorated tiers to the finished wedding centrepiece, this was quite a transformation – and a project we’ll always remember.Bringing The Celebration Together
The beautiful autumnal room styling was created by The Event Stylists, with rich floral displays, warm colours and touches of gold that complemented the cake.
It was lovely to be part of the team of suppliers helping bring Karis and Chris’s celebration together.
