Naomi Biden’s wedding cake was even longer than her six-foot dress train.
According toVogue, the cake was a whopping 7 feet tall, and the D.C.-based attorneys had to use a ladder for the ceremonial cut-the-cake picture. The eight-tier confection was lemon flavored with buttercream frosting.
The historical wedding featured even more desserts, including one offering that was a nod to President Biden’s favorite treat — ice cream.
Naomi Biden toldVoguethat her ice-cream-loving grandfather has apparently switched brand allegiances.
“He used to be a Breyers guy all the way, but we’ve gotten him to upgrade to Graeter’s,” she joked, referring to the Cincinnati-based chocolate chip ice cream, which was at the dessert bar.
Along with the frozen treats, the groom’s cake consisted of a 20-inch apple pie, perVogue.

The couple’s lemon dessert isn’t the first towering White House wedding cake.
At the 1971 wedding of President Richard Nixon’s daughter, Tricia, the cakewas also 7 feet talland made with layers of graduated size.
On Saturday, Naomi and Neal exchanged nuptials in the presence of 250 friends and family members in a chilly ceremony on the White House’s South Lawn.
On this particular day, with the temperature around 40 degrees, guests were treated with white scarves and hand warmers to help them endure the hour-long ceremony.
“Naomi has a strong sense of herself and had a vision for her wedding,” First Lady Dr.Jill Bidenexpressed toVogue. “It was fun to see her finding so much joy in all the details.”
