I'm a DIY bride. I come from a DIY family, so that helps! We have decided that we want the wedding of my dreams, but at the cost of his dreams! lol.. We decided to make a fake wedding cake and serve sheet cakes instead. I have 421 days until the wedding so I decided that practice makes perfect. I started the cake lastnight. This one is just a trial and error one. I am having so much fun with it! My FH and I are both store managers at DQ (different stores) and both do cakes. This training has really helped out!

Do you think people will get upset if the wedding cake is fake? Its nothing more then boxes and icing, but it's costing me next to nothing to do it!

What are your thoughts?

I am actually a Pastry Chef and fake or "dummie" cakes as they are more called are awesome. You can do a lot more with them, but they are better when you used Styrofoam rather than a box; the boxes can get a little nasty. No one will know the difference. What most people do is make one tier a real cake so you can cut it and then serve everyone else the sheet cake. It is becoming more popular. I am actually have one at my wedding, it is a lot easier to get my 7 tier cake from foam than actual cake. Fondant does freeze well. If you use Royal Icing make sure you use PASTEURIZED egg whites. You wouldn't want people to get sick.

Last year I was at the wedding that had a fake cake. I couldn't tell it was fake - and I own a bakery.
