9 Tiers Of Sweetness: The Unbelievable Details Of Paige Drummond's Massive Wedding Cake
The wedding of Paige Drummond and David Andersen on May 17, 2025, was a true spectacle of rustic elegance, but the detail that stole the show—and the headlines—was the towering, nine-tier wedding cake.

The choice to go with a cake of such impressive height and detail reflects the Drummond family’s commitment to celebrating life’s milestones in a grand, yet deeply personal, way. While the nine tiers drew immediate attention for their sheer size, the delicate flavor profile and the heartfelt story behind the baker reveal a much deeper, sweeter narrative than just a large dessert. Every element, from the raspberry filling to the fresh floral accents, was meticulously chosen to create a memorable experience for every guest.

The Nine-Tier Marvel: Unpacking the Wedding Cake's Grandeur
The wedding cake was arguably the most talked-about culinary detail of the entire celebration. Its towering presence was a key feature of the reception, symbolizing the immense joy and scale of the Drummond family’s celebration.
A Family Tradition of Scale and Sweetness
Paige and David chose a truly monumental cake, opting for a nine-tier white confection that stood as a magnificent focal point. The cake was baked by the renowned Amy’s Cakes in Norman, Oklahoma, a bakery with a strong history with the Drummond family. Amy Cullifer, the owner of Amy’s Cakes, also created the wedding cake for Paige's older sister, Alex Drummond, in 2021, though Paige’s version had a couple more tiers, cementing a new family tradition of grand wedding desserts.
The sheer size of the cake required meticulous planning and careful delivery, a challenge that Amy Cullifer and her team expertly handled. The decision to feature such a large, traditional white cake speaks to a classic, timeless aesthetic that contrasted beautifully with the rugged, Western decor of the ranch venue.
Flavor Profile and Design Details
While the exterior was a vision of white elegance, the interior offered a burst of fresh flavor. The cake featured a delicious raspberry filling, a popular and vibrant choice that provided a welcome contrast to the sweet vanilla base. The entire structure was adorned with fresh blooms, adding splashes of color and tying the dessert directly to the wild, flowy florals that decorated the rest of the venue. Ree Drummond herself noted the importance of incorporating color into the design, which was achieved through these carefully placed floral accents.
The cake's design, though large, maintained a sense of delicate artistry. The layers were seamlessly stacked and covered in smooth, white frosting, showcasing the classic wedding cake silhouette that has become synonymous with the Drummond family's celebratory style. The nine tiers were a bold statement, ensuring that the cake was visible and impressive from every corner of the reception tent.
The Ultimate Compromise: A Ranch-Inspired Groom’s Cake
In a sweet nod to their first official compromise as a married couple, Paige and David opted for two cakes: the massive nine-tier wedding cake and a separate groom’s cake designed specifically for David. This tradition of a distinct groom's cake is common in Southern weddings and provides an opportunity to showcase the groom's personality or interests.
A Tribute to the Drummond Ranch
David Andersen’s groom’s cake was a perfect reflection of his new life and the setting of the wedding: the historic Drummond Ranch. The cake was a rich chocolate flavor and was ingeniously designed to look like a classic ranch pickup truck. This iconic vehicle is a symbol of the ranch's daily operations and a recognizable motif for fans of The Pioneer Woman, adding a touch of rustic charm and personal history to the dessert table.
The inclusion of the pickup truck cake provided a fun, down-to-earth counterpoint to the towering elegance of the main wedding cake. It was a detail that perfectly captured the Western decor and cowboy ceremony atmosphere of the Oklahoma plains wedding. The chocolate flavor was a definite crowd-pleaser and ensured that every guest had a choice between the traditional raspberry-filled white cake and the hearty, ranch-inspired chocolate dessert.
Topical Authority: The Drummond Wedding Cake Legacy
The attention given to Paige Drummond’s wedding cake is part of a larger pattern that solidifies the Drummond family’s status as a top-tier lifestyle brand. Every detail, from the ceremony on the family ranch to the meticulously crafted desserts, generates significant interest and sets a high bar for grand, yet authentic, celebrations.
The fact that both Alex and Paige chose Amy’s Cakes in Norman, Oklahoma, demonstrates a deep-seated trust in the baker's ability to handle such high-profile, high-stakes creations. This consistency has created a "Drummond Cake Legacy," where the towering white tiers and raspberry filling are now synonymous with the family's major events. The cakes are not merely desserts; they are intricate architectural pieces that serve as a testament to the family’s enduring commitment to tradition, quality, and celebration on the Oklahoma plains. The wedding, complete with its stunning floral arrangements by Jackson Durham and its unique Western decor, was a beautiful culmination of Paige and David’s journey, all anchored by the unforgettable, nine-tier masterpiece.
