The peacock wedding cake is made of 25 kilos of premium chocolate from France and is embellished with 86 Swarovski crystals, 60 locally-sourced pearls, and 620 edible gold and silver feathers precisely cut into thin slices.

Saeid Heidari, General Manager of Sheraton Grand Doha, said:

Qatar has a history with pearls and the use of pearls on the cake make the representation of this bond. Weddings at Sheraton Grand Doha has been connecting many generations in Qatar and are known for their exclusivity. This is an attempt to make it even grander. Brides getting married at the Sheraton can tell their story though their cake for a more personalized experience.’

Chef Lui said:

The whole showpiece came from chocolate eggshells of three sizes. The lower half of the body is an open egg shell covered in gold; depicting the peacock emerging from it. Peacock represents royalty, nobility, luxury and prosperity. The use of rich colors like red and gold is in parallel to the regal weddings happening at the Sheraton Grand Doha’

The cake is open for sale at USD10,000 at the Sheraton Grand Doha and is showcased at hotel lobby for the next five days.
