Fake Wedding Cake, an Economical Elegance
June 28, 2008
Wedding cakes can cost from $300 to over $3,000. For a bride on a budget, the thought of getting a cake that is more expensive than her bridal gown is upsetting, to say the least. Our “Economical Elegance” ( ideas for cutting your wedding costs) tip for this month could save you, the bride-to-be hundreds of dollars, not to mention helping you lessen the stress of preparing for your dream wedding without breaking the bank.
Instead of ordering an expensive wedding cake, why not opt for a “fake wedding cake”? These cakes are made of styrofoam and are beautifully decorated. They can stay on display all day long, even outdoors with no worries about bugs or humidity. They look so real, your guests won’t even have a clue it is fake. But, how about the “cutting of the cake” tradition? Depending on which cake rental company you choose, the fake cake can have a “secret compartment” where you can store a real piece for the bride and groom to cut and feed each other. Some fake cake rental companies will have a piece of the sheet cake already cut and placed behind the fake cake. Either way, when the photographs of the cake cutting tradition is over, the fake cake is wheeled over into the dining area and a sheet cake sliced in serving sizes is wheeled out for the guests to partake.
