11 September 2023

An unusual thing has appeared in Waddeson Estate Park (UK) The building is the “Wedding Cake” pavilion. 12-meter immersive the art installation is decorated with thousands of tiles, reminiscent of frosting on a cake. Let's take a look inside.





"Many artists have an 'impossible project' and this is mine."

This is what Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos says about his brainchild - the Wedding Cake pavilion, the sweetest of architectural treasures awaiting visitors to the Waddeson Estate Buckinghamshire.

The 12 meter high cake took almost five years to create, and it covered with thousands of tiles, glazed in pale pinks, greens and blue tones.



Vasconcelos called the creation of this pavilion “the largest challenge" during his 30-year career. She describes her pavilion as "temple of love" and calls it "part sculpture, part architectural garden madness and a celebration of fun and joy."





Park visitors can wander past ceramic mermaids and statues of dolphins with water flowing from their mouths, admire the golden walls and pastel blue columns, as well as pink spears, hanging from the ceiling like chocolate chips.



In keeping with the holiday theme, there is also electric candles and mini statues of St. Anthony blessing newlyweds



Floors (tiers) are connected by colored spiral staircases butter, and at the very top you become that very figure on cake and decorate it with yourself!



By the way, from the observation deck there is a wonderful view of the estate.



The pavilion was inspired by the colorful Baroque buildings and traditions of decorative ceramics in Lisbon, where he lives and works Vasconcelos.



It was built "for entertainment" and also in the spirit of the traditional hospitality of 18th century garden pavilions.



Excursions are held around the estate park, and now one of A mandatory step will be a visit to the “Wedding Cake” pavilion.
