I was at a wedding recently where the top three layers of the cake were polystyrene, iced to look like the real thing. The only layer that was really cake was the bottom one (the one they cut in front of the guests).

Then when the cake was taken away to be cut for the guests, a substitute cake (a cheap one) was cut and brough out for the guests. Guess what, nobody noticed. Brilliant!

This was common practise during WW2, due to shortages of, well, everything! But it was understood and if a cake was provided you were presumed to be trying a bit too hard….

Many times, two layers are fake(made of foam) and then the one layer is real allowing the cake to be cut in its traditional ceremonious way! It really is a safer and cheaper option as flat cakes cost much less(about $2-3 less per slice) than a custom fondant topped, three tiered wedding cake.

You can hire wedding cakes that have a secret compartment where you can place a slice of real cake, so you are still cutting the cake.

The cakes do look amazing but they are not cheap as you are paying for the time it takes to decorate. If money is tight you would be better off buying a wedding cake from a supermarket and then decorating it yourself.

Im having the bottom two tiers real cake, and the top 3 fake. So we get the best of both worlds! I want the WOW factor but we’re on a budget…..but Im not so tight that I’d buy the whole thing fake. Its a great idea, and fun choosing, because the designs are amazing, and so cheap. Sounds like theres some jealous peeps on here!

I chose to go with an online company called http://www.fake-cakes.co.uk for my wedding cake. I had the cake I’d always imagined I would have for my wedding. It was perfect! And it didn’t cost the earth!!!
