Budget-Minded Brides Can Rent Fake Cakes
 copterCake Has Spot For Fake Slice For Bride, Groom POSTED: 4:38 am PDT June 13, 2007 GRANDVILLE, Mich. -- For the budget-minded bride and groom, here's an idea: rent a fake wedding cake. The idea is to have an elegant, multitiered pretend cake for show while serving guests slices from a real but inexpensive sheet cake. The inside of a faux wedding cake crafted by Fun Cakes contains mostly plastic foam, with a secret spot reserved for a slice of real cake to be shared by the bride and groom. Everything is covered by gum paste and fondant, a frosting-like confection made from sugar and water often used in cakes and pastries. "The only difference is the inside. Nobody can tell," said Kimberly Aya, whose 3-month-old company also bakes real cakes. Fake cakes aren't new, but renting them is fairly novel. Mary Brown, manager of Cakes Plus in Grand Rapids, said her bakery has rented out its window displays a few times when brides were desperate and needed something at the last minute. Brown said a typical three-tier cake serving around 100 guests costs an average of $200 to $250. Aya charges $100 to rent an in-stock fake cake and $150 for a custom design. Bride-to-be Nicole Kreuger, 26, of Grand Rapids, said she will spend about half as much on a fake wedding cake paired up with a sheet cake as she would have spent on a real cake elsewhere. |

So women want a super expensive ring, an insanely priced dress, catering to feed the whole state, but want to be jews about the cake? How about this? Don’t have a facking wedding that costs as much as a new car. Newflash: Guys don’t want this, women do. If a guy could marry a woman in his favorite shorts and a T-Shirt he would.

i'm sure in the grand scheme of things with the wedding and all that junk, the 150 dollar difference in a fake cake is chump change (especially to MW big dog ballers)

If the real cake costs $200 and it costs $100 to rent the fake one, they're not saving 50% after buying real cake.

I thought ours was "fair".....only because they were 200+ individually made/decorated cakes. It cost the same as a multi-tiered wedding cake that was only one flavor. http://www.sugarbutterflour.com/products/individual.htm

$250 for cake is cheap. Especially if it's feeding 100 people

You also have to factor in the cake you serve. Not much of a savings at all.
