      I mean not really, if all your guests need to be served a slice you’d still be paying per head regardless of if it’s a whole real cake or majority fake honestly. Now if they charge for every slice cut and they HAVE to cut the WHOLE cake down then yea, but other than that naah.

    I totally get it. We had our daughter's wedding in our yard, we did everything, flowers, decor, have a pizza oven, did all the food. I am a cake decorator, and it would have been too much for me to do the cake the day before. Did a fake cake, it turned out beautiful, could decorate weeks before. I did sheet cakes for serving. Worked perfectly, I keep the cake on the off chance some catastrophe happens with the cake is destroyed could always just change the flowers out and they could have a cake for pictures. It still looks beautiful 5 years later.

    The fact over half of it is fake is pretty amazing in my opinion. Big cakes like that cost a LOT of money but no matter how it looks, it's still cake, it'll get eaten or go bad. Not everyone has huge wedding budgets or a lot of guests. This can solve both issues. You could even make a 95% fake cake with only a very small section of real cake for the photo op of cake cutting and then it could be whisked away to the back "for cutting" when you're really just cutting up a few sheet cakes in the back. This is genius.

  • @martaornelas8695

    For all those complaining about wedding venues charging to cut the cake, they have to hire a crew of catering services. No one is going to work for free. Including bar tenders that they hire for weddings. The cake also has to be cut precisely to get the amount of servings for all the guests that will attend. If the cake were cut larger than it should, then they would run out of servings and that would make the wedding venue and planner look bad.

    I actually have a friend who is doing a Vow renewal ceremony in Feb. She needs a GF and SF mostly Fake Cake. Because it is almost impossible to do a sugar free cake with Decorations, I told her I would do Sugar Lite. So a Cream Cheese Frosting, using very little powder sugar as a filling and a crumb coat/ and do the Simi Naked Cake look, to which we can add Fake or Real Flowers too, and use a GF mix for the cake itself. But how do you get a Fake Cake to look Simi Naked?
    I was thinking about covering it in fondant, in the same shade as the cake, do a rough texture to it, and let it dry, then do a thin coat of frosting, scraping it back off to get the Simi Naked Cake look so it doesn't look weird or different from the editable portion of the cake. She is only needing to feed 30-50 ppl, but wants the Big Beautiful Cake look. 3-4-5 tiers.
    Do you have a Hack for that?

      @SweetDreamsBakeShoppe  Před 2 lety +2
