Rent a Fake Wedding Cake

July 11th, 2007 | Wedding Cake, Unique Ideas

Looking to save some money on your wedding? Well there’s a newly emerging trend…the fake wedding cake. Some extravagant real cakes can cost upwards of $1,000 so here’s your chance to cut that wedding bill.So how does this work? Fake cakes have a plastic foam center and are covered in gum paste and fondant. From the outside it looks just like a real cake and can be made as extravagant as you would like with a custom design or you can pick from a pre-made stock cake either way the cost is much less than a real cake.

How do you do the whole cut-the-cake thing? Typically, there will be a small section of the fake cake that is reserved for a real piece of cake or even some Twinkies stacked up and covered by the icing. Once the couple cut the cake, it is taken out of sight and a inexpensive sheet cake is served to the guests from the kitchen. No one has to be the wiser!

The cake shown above is from http://www.cakerental.com/. They were featured on the Today Show last week. Check out their site for details!
