DUMMY WEDDING CAKES
We’ve spent years making wedding cakes, and know the pressure that comes along with purchasing an expensive cake. That’s why a dummy wedding cake, also known as a fake or faux wedding cake, is gaining popularity among couples on their big day.
What’s the difference between standard and dummy wedding cakes?
Ordering a dummy wedding cake allows you to choose from a wider variety of flavours. You’ll be able to order the perfect amount of cake for your guests and cut them into perfectly neat slices. Often, tiered round cakes result in uneven servings and leftover pieces at the reception.
Another benefit of ordering a ‘fake’ cake is the decreased risk and stress of something going wrong on the day. For years, we’ve provided perfect fake wedding cakes, always delivered in immaculate shape by our dependable drivers. Even on the rare occasion when a cake gets damaged during transit, our skilled chefs are ready to fix it or whip up an emergency cake right on the spot.
Is there a price difference?
If your dummy wedding cake is similar to the amount of actual cake you order on the side, the difference in price is minimal. Costs may vary slightly less or more depending on the decoration style of the cake.
What flavours can I choose from?
Our Chocolate Mud Cake and Torta Di Arancia are the only cakes strong enough to be built into both barrel and tiered cakes.
If you are wanting any other flavour, then choosing a dummy cake with a side slab is the way to go. Additional to Chocolate Mud Cake and Torta di Arancia you can also choose from:
- Black Forest
- Brunetti Rocher
- Chocolate Fondant

What are the benefits of a ‘fake’ wedding cake?
Ordering a dummy wedding cake allows you to choose from a wider variety of flavours. You’ll be able to order the perfect amount of cake for your guests and cut them into perfectly neat slices. Tiered round cakes are often roughly cut into mismatched portion sizes leaving wasted cut leftovers at the reception.
Another benefit of ordering a ‘fake’ cake is the decreased risk and stress of something going wrong on the day. We’ve been supplying wedding cakes for many years, and in that time our drivers have always been able to deliver them in perfect condition. We have however heard of cakes being damaged on the journey, and our talented chefs have come to the rescue to fix them on-site or make last-minute emergency cakes.
