A wedding cake has wowed the world after a photo of it was posted onto Imgur - and we can totally understand why.

The stunning, three tier centrepiece is topped with a majestic peacock, whose tail is made from easy to eat cupcakes. 

It was made by Elissa Daniel, who works at a local grocery store in Louisiana.

The cake has been viewed more than two million times since it was posted on the image sharing site less than 24 hours ago.
