WOOF, there it is! (sorry.)

To celebrate the upcoming royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton, award-winning cake designer Michelle Wibowo created a colossal Corgi cake, setting a new Guiness World Record for the largest dog-friendly cake -- nearly 6 feet long, 4 feet high, and roughly 150 pounds.

The prodigious pooch took over 111 hours to make -- 16 of them spent on the intricate detail of the fur, which Wibowo said was the hardest part.

What do Corgis and giant pet-friendly cakes have to do with the Royal Wedding? Who knows? Must be a British thing.
