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!
A Centrepiece to Remember
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.
Dreaming of that jaw-dropping showpiece cake for your big day or event without blowing the budget? That’s where we come in.

What Makes Our Faux Cakes Different?
❦
Not all faux cakes are created equal, and here’s why ours stand out.
01
Built to Last
Our cakes are crafted from durable Styrofoam and decorated with non-edible, professional-grade materials. That means no sweating, sagging, or collapsing, even in the heat of summer.
02
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.
03
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.
“
Whether you’re after a backup plan, a budget-friendly beauty, or a statement centrepiece that won’t melt under pressure, our faux cakes deliver on durability, design, and drama.
