The word “fake” is not always viewed favorably, but when it comes to cake, things change. This is because the fake cake has characteristics and advantages that surpass a “real” cake, so to speak.
But what to serve for the guests at the party, then? Calm down, we'll explain. The fake cake came as a resource to replace the conventional cake only and exclusively on the candy table, that is, it enters the party only as a decorative and scenic element. The real cake still exists, but it stays there in the kitchen, waiting for the moment to be served.
The fake cake can be used in wedding parties, 15th birthday parties, birthdays, wedding anniversaries, baby showers and cooking, among other celebrations. And, if it is done well, no one will even notice that it is a scenic cake.
Want to better understand this story of fake cake? So come with us in this post.
Why make a fake cake?
Because it is practical
The fake cake is much lighter than a real cake and this is very good for the organization and logistics of the event, since it can be easily transported from one place to another. Another advantage is that the fake cake does not dismantle, melt, or run the risk of falling a bit during transportation.
Because he will survive until the end of the party
Yes, the fake cake does not come undone for anything in this world, it can make the heat come. The fake cake is also proof of children's fingers. That is, if you want a beautiful cake from the beginning to the end of the party, fake is the best option.
Because it is cheaper
A fake cake is much cheaper to make than a real cake. Of course, you will have the cost of the cake that will be served to the guests, but this one does not need to be richly decorated, since it will not be exposed.
So, if economy is your thing, the fake cake suits you.
Because it is more decorative
The fake cake allows customizations that a conventional cake often does not handle. With a fake cake, you have the option to make more floors and bet on more creative decorations without worrying whether they are edible or not.
Because you can rent, buy or make one
The fake cake can be purchased ready-made at party supply stores, as well as rented at buffets. But there is another option that can be even more interesting: making the fake cake with your own hands.
Because you can sell it after the party
The fake cake can still make you a little money after the party. You can advertise and sell the fake cake to other interested people.
Types of fake cake
See below the most common types of fakes cakes to be found at parties around:
Styrofoam Fake Cake
Styrofoam is the material generally used as the structure and “core” of the fake cake. On top of it are used coatings such as fake American paste (inedible), EVA, fabric and biscuit, for example.
Fake EVA Cake
EVA is one of the most used materials for creating fakes cakes. This is because, in addition to the material being very cheap, it also has a wide variety of colors, facilitating decoration.
Cardboard Fake Cake
Cardboard is another option of structure and “crumb” for the fake cake, as well as styrofoam. You can customize it with the finishes of your choice.
Fake Biscuit Cake
The biscuit can also be used in creating fakes cakes. The material has a texture very similar to American paste. However, the use of white is just not very recommended, since the biscuit in that color stains easily.
Fake Fabric Cake
A different finishing option for the fake cake is the fabric. However, this is the material that is most distant from a real cake, so if the intention is to create something very realistic, this may not be the best option.
