Mother-in-law sends bride crying after secretly swapping couple's $3K wedding cake with her homemade fruitcake, caterers save the day: 'MIL thought the bride's cake choice was too modern'

Wedding cakes are a huge deal. Even if no one really gets a good view of the cake cutting (it's usually a blur of awkward knife-holding and polite clapping), that towering, frosted masterpiece still feels like the centerpiece of the whole reception. My aunt works as a wedding caterer, and something she always points out is that most of the time, the big, fancy cake everyone oohs and aahs over isn't even the one people end up eating. There's often a plain sheet cake hiding in the back that's sliced up for guests, while the showpiece cake is mostly for photos and tradition.

Still, the symbolism of that cake matters. It represents love, celebration, and let's be real, a major chunk of the wedding budget.
