Decorating with Fake Cakes and Faux Bakery Style

If you love vintage charm with a side of whimsy, you’ll adore these handcrafted fake cakes and faux bakery props for decorating your home.

From towering layer cakes to flaky faux pies, these realistic pieces are perfect for styling kitchen counters, vintage cake stands, and cozy holiday vignettes—especially if you’re not a baker but love the look of dessert on display.

Whether you’re decorating for a season, creating a centerpiece, or pairing them with your favorite candles, these sweet props add personality, color, and a touch of fun to your space.

Why Decorate with Fake Cakes?

Because let’s face it—we don’t always have time to slip on a gingham apron and bake a fresh tart.

That’s where faux bakery decor comes in.

It’s sweet, simple, and full of charm.

A handcrafted fake cake isn’t just decor—it’s a whimsical way to style your kitchen or dining room or even a festive centerpiece without lifting a whisk.

It’s Simple, It’s Staging, and It’s Stunning

Take a peek at this cozy little vignette: a strawberry-topped faux cake with a ring of “candied nuts” at the base, surrounded by champagne glasses, antique French teacups, and a playful stack of vintage cake stands.

It’s the perfect pairing for a brunch table or an everyday kitchen moment with a bit of extra sparkle.

Meet the Maker: Everything Dawn

Every one of these stunning faux treats is handmade by my friend Dawn, the creative talent behind Everything Dawn.

Her Fakery Bakery line brings warmth and personality to any space—no oven required.

With one of her cakes as a focal point, you can transform your kitchen counter, dining room, or holiday table with ease.

Scents and Style: Create a Mood Without Lifting a Spatula

Just imagine the scent of a rich vanilla cake, the sweetness of baked berries, or the cozy spice of cinnamon in the air—without ever opening the oven. Light your favorite candle, style your cake on a vintage stand, and let the magic do the rest.

The Perfect Housewarming or Holiday Gift

Dawn’s handcrafted faux cakes make delightful gifts, too—whether for a housewarming, a hostess gift, or a sweet touch in a guest room or kitchen corner.

I’m currently styling this darling berry mussolini tart from her summer collection, and it’s the perfect complement to our vintage tableware and glassware.

These fake desserts are perfect year-round.

I recently styled Dawn’s fall pecan pie for a seasonal tablescape in my post, Fall Dessert Table with A Themed Pecan Pie Surprise—and the texture and detail are so realistic that even Ella, our Bernese Mountain Dog, thought it was the real deal.

And if you’re dreaming of a festive touch for the holidays, this tall white “tree cake” from Dawn’s winter line looked stunning beside the fire, with the candlelight flickering and vintage charm in every corner.
