That's brilliant! There's many wedding traditions that just aren't that important - the cake is one of them. I say fake it and save the cash - it'll make for a great story! A little bit of theatre for a lot of savings on something that's going to be eaten and forgotten in a few minutes anyway.

What about the people who make a living baking wedding cakes?

Ditto for Heitz669's sentiments.

People who make the cakes will be unnecessary on the future ... the next step involves changing the birthday cakes for the fakes
