For those budget conscious wedding party people: An idea of you don't want to spend too much money on a wedding cake: Have them decorate as elaborate as your budget will allow a bunch of styrofoam rounds (or whichever shape you want) in fondant, with a cutout for a real cake insert and then have them bake full sheetcakes with the flavors of your choice.
