Budget Bride Used Green Foam With Wall Plaster For Faux Cake To Save Cash On Wedding

Saving every dollar is the motto of budget couples when planning for their wedding. Most of the things paid for in a wedding are only for pretty pictures anyways, so if they really wanted a cake, it doesn’t have to be real, right?

Hence, this bride’s attempt at making her own budget, foam cake.

Obviously, not a good idea to follow. The bride wrote, “Anyone else try a fake cake with foam and wall spackle?”

“I seen it on YouTube and they make it look so easy! We aren’t having a cake, so trying to figure out something for looks.”

However, someone saw her attempt to save up on cakes as tacky and shared the post on Reddit in the ‘Wedding Shaming’ subreddit, suggesting maybe they should not have a cake at all.

The average cost for a wedding cake is around $350 with some going as far up as $1000.

Many people suggest that having a faux cake at their wedding is actually more normal than you think. Fake wedding cake price ranges are much more affordable, from as cheap as $7 for a simple one-tier design to around $50 for a 6-tier look.

Several people comment how a professionally made faux cake is often suffice for wedding parties.
