Well, my cake for my first wedding was fake, but it was not a money saving thing at all. In fact, I think I paid more for that option. They individually decorated the foam layers to be my cake (and only my cake..not a rented one) with real frosting. However, they provided personalized, engraved boxes that contained a full half pound of cake in each box. Each box had a piece of 3 layer cake, a chocolate layer, a cherry chip layer and a white layer. There was raspberry filling and buttercream icing. It was the exact same cake batter that they used if they made the cake itself. Each guest got a lot more cake this way, got some of each type (have you ever seen people fighting over who gets the chocolate when it's on the cake table??), it was in an easy to take home container and there were no worries about the cake falling or becoming damaged. Nobody even knew that the cake was fake because there was a section of "real" cake for where we cut it. Then they whisked the cake away and brought in the boxes of cake.
