Wedding Cakes

[AznSAE]

has anyone here ever been to a wedding where there was a fake cake for show and sheet cake served to the quest instead? i went to a wedding last month where they did this. the sheet cake was still pretty good though.

i googled fake cakes and apparently this happens more than i thought.

Yes, a friend of mine used a fake cake for show and served sheetcake. They were on a real tight budget. I'm pretty sure the bride got the cake off e b a y.

ETA:

Just searched and found some listed under Display Wedding Cake.

Not fantastic but it would certainly do in a pinch.

When I get my business up and running, this will be an item for the budget people.....
Used Styrofoam and fondant for decoration, have a real piece inserted for cutting and then roll out the sheetcake (in the back of course) for service. It still the same recipe and filling.

The majority of the cost of a wedding cake is the decorations and the man hours.
