Valentyn Shtefano's pastries were known for attracting stares and giggles

as well as lip-smacking murmurs. But even his fiancee was surprised when

Shtefano told her he was making her wedding dress — out of flour, eggs,

sugar and caramel. The dress — made of 1,500 cream puffs and weighing 20

pounds — took the 28-year-old baker two months to make, and by the end of

the wedding reception, bride Viktoriya said she didn't want to take it off.

Shtefano is a rising star in the field of baking as visual art, earning him

a following in Uzhhorod, Ukraine. His creations have generated a buzz in a

place where cake is often layers of heavy cream, wafers and nuts or poppy

seeds — more something to eat than to look at.Shtefano is eager to

introduce new sweets to this city of 125,000.Some of Shtefano's cakes are

strictly for mature audiences, like a pair of breasts. But he also created

an elaborate Easter cake that drew hundreds to a cathedral. It was a black

and gold globe hatching from an Easter egg, with pieces of eggshell on top

of the globe and falling off to the side. It was too pretty to eat.His

biggest challenge was the wedding dress cake. At first, he sewed empty

cream puffs together, but the dress collapsed. Then, he carefully attached

the puffs to a wedding dress frame, and Viktoriya spent a couple hours each

night before the wedding modeling the dress as Shtefano added more puffs.

Her crown, bouquet and necklace were made from caramelized sugar.
