My First Wedding Cake!

What do you think of my first ever wedding cake?!!

Actually, this is the new rage, called a fake wedding cake. I've heard of people having fake cakes for their wedding and then taking it to the back to cut it and bringing out a much cheaper cake to actually serve! Not a bad idea!! I made this for my mother-in-law's school play. It cost about $50 to make, and I had a blast making it! I bought styrofoam blocks from Hobby Lobby and covered them with joint compound (like spackle). Once it FINALLY dried, I sanded it to make it smooth and then decided to go ahead and paint it white to cover some flaws. I then glued the blocks together, added some ribbon and fake flowers, and voila! My fake wedding cake!
