Fake Wedding Cakes?
So my Grandmother told me that people are now cutting cost on their weddings by skipping out on the traditional wedding cakes and getting a fake cake made of foam!  You can now rent fake cakes. Apparently, the fake cakes still have enough real cake hidden so that the bride and groom can have the traditional first slice. As a guest you still get a slice of cake, it just comes from a much cheaper sheet cake.
I guess this could be your something borrowed? Lol. Has anyone ever heard of this or ever been to a reception with a rented wedding cake? Would you ever have a fake cake? I think I am far too traditional. I mean the cakes look real, but I don’t know it just seems strange to me.

That is ridiculous. If you can't afford a fancy cake, don't have one. I promise no one will care that much.
Most of those cakes in the links you provided look extremely tacky...I wouldn't want my REAL cake to look like that!

What you said. I wouldn't think less of someone for having sheet cake at their wedding or even having a small "wedding cake" with sheet cake for the guests. But having a fake cake is just tacky, IMO.

Oh and as for the cakes being tacky, they're very much in the style of cakes these days, with the polka dots and ribbons and things. Everyone's watching too much Ace of Cakes

The funky/cutesy novelty cakes are great for little Ishmael's bar miztvah or Guadalupe's Quince or Cher's Sweet Sixteen....
But not for a wedding, for the love of God.

Official verdict: Ew.
No need to fake the appearance of a big cake, just get a smaller one. You can even do mini cakes for your guests now.
Fake cake is just tacky.

Neat!
This is pretty nifty! I don't know if I would do this, but I would think about it, lol. On the first link, the "topsy pink" cake is really cool. No one would know the difference!

I'm not super traditional, as in a cake has to be white, but damn at least be real! If you can't afford fancy schmancy have someone's granny make you a nice tasty cake! The granny ones usually taste better than any store one anyway.
This type of keeping up with the Joneses just looks ridiculous.

Wow you got a really great deal and it looks yummy... My cake was all real and it was good. I didn't think that it would get all eaten but it did because it was that good. I spent $600+ on my wedding cake... thank goodness my MIL paid for the grooms cake...
...at my cousin sweet 16 though they did have this huge FAKE cake on display on one of the tables... and yes later they served sheet cake.
