Good enough to eat -- but wouldn't it be sticky?

You're an up-and-coming young chef, known for your tendency to turn baking into visual art, and you're getting married. So of course you put your skills to work on the wedding cake, right?Not for Ukraine pasty chef Valentyn Shtefano. This groom crafted, not the wedding cake, but the wedding dress. An initial attempt was made to sew the pastries together, but that fell apart. The dress that succeeded was made of 1,500 cream puffs attached to a frame with sugar and caramel. It weighed in at about 20 pounds and took Shtefano about two months to complete.
At first his bride, Viktoriya, found the attention a bit embarrassing, but after a couple of hours, she didn't want to take the dress off. It does make us wonder, though: did she have a second (fabric!) gown to wear at the reception? And if she did, did her gown double as the wedding cake?
