My mother has been a florist for 40 years and this is totally normal and has been for generations. I don't understand why this article exists. Everything old is new again?

I've seriously never heard of this, and am middle aged and married with kids, and lots of married friends.

A few friends had 2-3 tiered cakes, but they were always real cakes, just quite boring internally (plain vanilla sponge). At most, there were posts through the middle to round pieces of cardboard/wood/something in between the layers for support, for one wedding I went to. Most others were just big elaborate "normal" cakes.

I always assumed the crazy big American wedding cakes on TV were at least mostly real, maybe with supports and levels to structure it.

I've been at some weddings in Poland, and I never knew. Now I wonder whether we don't do that here, or it was me who was just not paying attention.

I suppose this article exists because other people are surprised too.

It's sort of a profile of a local business.

There are places on this planet where not everything is a cheap Simulacrum.

I can't say I'm surprised learning about a new one from the USA Theme Park though.
