Why Choose a Faux Cake for Your Event?

Looking for a show stopping centrepiece without the jaw dropping price tag? A faux cake is the perfect solution for couples and event planners who want the look of a luxury bespoke cake without the cost of a fully edible version.

A professionally designed multi-tier cake can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $9,000 depending on the detail and design. Hiring a realistic faux cake gives you that same high end, elegant aesthetic for a fraction of the price and no one will ever know the difference in your photos!

The cake is often the centrepiece of your event, tying together the theme and adding a touch of wow factor to your celebration. If you still want to serve delicious cake to your guests, simply pair your faux cake with a sheet cake from your caterer or local bakery, easy, practical, and budget friendly.


Our luxurious faux cakes are available for hire for weddings, special occasions, photo shoots, corporate events, TV commercials, and film productions.

What Makes Our Faux Cakes Different?

Not all faux cakes are created equal and here’s why ours stand out:

  • Last Minute Lifesavers Wedding cake disaster? Engagement emergency? We've got your back. Our faux cakes are available at short notice to save the day and the photos.

  • High End Detailing Without the Price Tag intricate designs typically drive up the cost of real cakes due to the time and skill required. With a faux cake, you get the same luxury aesthetic without paying for hours of delicate piping or structural work.
