I was always under the impression that there a cakes and there are

have cake in it!

Very occasionally, they make a "show cake". Those are not designed
for eating at all, being made of styrofoam or the like. Most of the
time, it's just a cake. Whether it's very tasty or not is another
question. Fondant in general isn't good.

Yeah, I agree about the fondant. But I also never see them do any
actual cake baking there. Do they outsource that too (as well as the
fondant it seems)??

You don't watch enough :). They have at least one guy who does nothing
but bake cakes. He has numerous ovens in the back. Plus they are
frequently shown carving the cakes to shape, and throwing away lots of
trimmings (I imagine any thrill of eating that left a long time ago for
most of them).
