"Foam cakes can often cut your cake budget in half. For example, consider a wedding reception
for 150 people: 150 people x $3.50 per slice of decorated bakery cake = $525. A decorated fake cake of the same size starts as low as $110 and remains a beautiful centerpiece
throughout the entire evening. Sheet cakes start as low as 16.99/48 servings. When ordering
a foam cake, you serve sheet cakes to your guests, resulting in a significant savings to your
cake budget.
Fake cake 110.00 + sheet cakes 50.97 = total 160.97. Total savings 364.03."
You might ask, "how about when it comes to cake cutting?" No problem, there is a slit in back of the cake where the couple can place a knife there. "This will give you the 'look' of the bride and the groom cutting the cake while a piece of cake can be placed behind the fake cake so the bride and groom can still feed each other. You can have your cake and eat it too!" This whole process looks 100% real when it comes to photographing cake cutting ceremony.
During my client's wedding, after the couple "cut the cake" (placed a knife in the foam cake slit), I moved the foam cake to a different room, so it looked like as if I brought the wedding cake to the kitchen to cut. Meanwhile, the kitchen staffs are already cutting the sheet cakes =)
Furthermore, you can rent a wedding cake and return after the wedding! http://www.rentthecakeofyourdreams.com/index.html
