Mr Argentieri’s cake was for one of his cousin’s weddings, held at the Perth Convention Centre.
Ms Comper said she was shocked Mr Argentieri trusted her with the massive task.
The cake is 98 centimetres in width, has 13865 frills, 3833 petals, 367 roses, and 1070 quilts.

Despite its spectacular appearance the cake isn’t edible, and has polystyrene in its centre.
Ms Comper said she was still waiting to hear back from the Australian National Cake Decorators Association as to whether the cake’s size was a record.
Ms Comper said she was honoured to create the cake and hoped the opportunity would help build her businesses profile.
