Fake wedding cake?
Why More Couples Are Choosing Fake Wedding Cakes (And Why It Might Be the Best Decision for Your Wedding)
You want your wedding cake to be a focal point at your reception, but… you don’t want to spend an arm and a leg? … you don’t want to waste cake? … you don’t want to struggle with serving the cake?
A fake wedding cake, or Styrofoam wedding cake, is the answer! Here are several practical benefits.
More Affordable
Because fewer cake tiers need to be baked and assembled, faux cakes are a more cost-effective/ budget friendly option. You can achieve the grand design you love without paying for cake that may never be eaten. Think luxury wedding cake without the luxury price tag.
Less Food Waste
Large wedding cakes often leave plenty of leftovers. With a faux display cake, you only order the amount of real cake your guests will enjoy, making it a more sustainable choice.
Easier to Serve
Instead of cutting and serving a tiered cake, your venue can serve slices from a sheet cake. Sheet cakes are easier to cut and portion than a round tiered cake. This makes dessert service quicker and more efficient for both your guests and venue staff.
Larger Designs, Less Weight
Styrofoam tiers weigh A LOT less than real cake, making it possible to create taller, larger, and more intricate cake designs while making it easier to carry and set up.
The Perfect Cake-Cutting Moment
Part of a fake cake can be made out of real cake, so you'll still have a real piece of cake to cut during your ceremony, while your guests enjoy delicious slices from the kitchen. It looks seamless, photographs beautifully, and no one will know the difference.
