Rachael Teufel of Intricate Icings created this incredible amethyst geode wedding cake for a private launch party celebrating the opening of planning company First Look Events and new venue space, Moss Denver.

The geode is made from rock candy and granulated sugar and crafted with modeling chocolate, hand painting, and gold leaf. Teufel says the cake took about 16 hours to create with several more hours of planning prior.

For those interested, Rachael has created an online tutorial on how to make the cake on Craftsy (if you check out her blog, you may even find some discount codes).
