We explore factors like display duration, cost, durability, maintenance, weight, and usage. Real cakes are perfect for celebrations and consumption, while dummy cakes are ideal for exhibitions, décor, photoshoots, and long-lasting displays. If you’re a baker or event planner unsure when to use which type, this guide will help you make the right decision every time.
