Sought-after souvenir wedding cake from the multi-million-dollar wedding reception of Donald Trump and Melania Knauss on January 22, 2005. Measuring approximately 3.25″ in diameter and 3″ in height, this individual chocolate truffle cake with single sugar-spun buttercream rose and gold flakes was presented as a wedding favor to be taken home by one of the nearly 350 guests, a list which included celebrities like Rudy Giuliani, Heidi Klum, P. Diddy, Shaquille O'Neal, Simon Cowell, then-Senator Hillary Clinton, and former president Bill Clinton. The cake is housed in its original off-white paper box, which is monogrammed in gilt, "M D T." The box is in very good condition, with scattered stains and back of top cover cut along edges for a custom flap. This 13-year-old souvenir was inspired by the ceremony’s actual seven-tier wedding cake, a $50,000 masterwork of baker’s confectionary. The 200-pound yellow sponge cake was flavored with orange zest, filled with butter cream, soaked in Grand Marnier, and adorned with 2,000 individually constructed sugar-spun flowers—the centerpiece cake was not served to guests due to the intricate wire infrastructure. Provenance: Julien's Auctions, Icons and Idols, November 17, 2017.
