Fake Cakes are Fun Cakes!

FunCakes in Grandville, Michigan, has made a deal with the devil to make a cake - not out of angel food or even devil food cake mix - but out of Styrofoam.

FunCakes owner Kimberly Aya has conceived of a new way to frost and decorate wedding cakes. She doesn't "sell sell" them, she just decorates them to order, renting them to the prospective couples at the occasion of their wedding.

She uses real fondant and gum paste with silk flowers and ultimately stores each of them after use in clear plastic...that is, until their next use!

Great idea for custom designs has launched her new cake decorating business enterprise into the stratoshpere. When a customer rents a cake, it is shipped in a special wooden box to prevent damage. Of course, after the event the cake goes back in the box and returned. From that point, it's back into inventory - waiting for the next special event.

Kimberly Ayo and her husband have launched a new website - www.cakerental.com - to showcase her artistic adventure. Please take a peek and see what all the buzz is about.

Geez...fake food...what will they think of next?
