They were made of sugar and edible!

We're glad the actress and her political-activist fiancé didn't elope as originally planned – because then she and Montilio's Baking Company of Boston would never have designed this gorgeous four-tiered cake!

A fancy-schmancy tower of tiers wouldn't have matched the country-cool vibe at the July 2 Montana wedding of the Full House star and his photographer girlfriend.

When you're throwing a surprise vow renewal for your wife, you want to make sure she's going to like everything, including the cake!

That thing turned out to be a traditional vanilla and almond cake covered in vanilla-bean buttercream and edible roses.

Thanks to a custom rig and a platoon of sandbags that matched the weight of the cake, the suspended confection was secure and ready for showtime.
