Couples Are Getting Fake Wedding Cakes
Over the summer, a social media trend that had people making cakes that look like realistic objects went viral. There were tons of videos showing someone cut into what looked like a roll of toilet paper or a plant, but then we see it’s actually cake. And now a baker on TikTok is blowing minds by revealing the exact opposite is true – sometimes things that look like cake aren’t actually cake.
In a video posted this week on the social media site, the baker behind Butterdream Bakery in the U.K. shares the behind-the-scenes secret about her profession. In it, she explains to the camera that a lot of wedding cakes used as displays are fake, while another baker is shown unwrapping and throwing away a piece of styrofoam that was decorated to look like a cake. “A lot of the wedding cakes you see are fake,” she says. “We’ll wheel away a fake cake that’s decorated and everything and then cut up a sheet cake in the back and then serve that to the guests.”Lots of other people who also work in the wedding industry commented to confirm her confession, including photographers and fellow bakers. And some people were just shocked to know the truth, like the one who said, “I feel betrayed” and another who wrote, “I wish you never told me this.”
Me too girl! Especially because those bad boys are soooo expensive!
