Fake Wedding Cake

Most couples who are marrying this Summer are looking for little ways to reduce the overall bill of their wedding costs, and we think we may of found a useful little money saving tip for you all – a FAKE WEDDING CAKE.

Strange as it may sound, this idea is becoming more and more popular amongst frugal brides and grooms who are looking to ensure they get value for money, and the concept is a fairly simple one.

The idea is that your cake supplier provides you with a “dummy” cake made from foam. The fake cakes come shaped in a variety of different sizes with multiple tiers as required.

The cake company ices and decorates the cake shaped foam to match your requirements, and the whole thing looks so realistic you would want to eat a slice… except obviously you can’t !

When you’re happy with how your fake wedding cake looks, you simply place it on the table for all your wedding guests to admire and photograph you standing beside it with knife in hand.  A further option could be that the top tier is an actual cake, so at the moment of cutting, the whole thing is even more realistic.

Fake that Cake – then eat a real one

The bakers then make you a nice simple, square cut fruit cake, or sponge or whatever option you’d like – at a fraction of the cost of a full blown wedding cake. And of course, when it’s cut into slices for your wedding guests to share, none of them will ever know the difference.

It’s a good way to save yourself a few pennies, and actually if you kept it a secret, it could be a good fun personal joke between yourselves for many years to come.
