I guess it's possible that that's cake in there but the lights would melt the icing -- this looks like lights placed behind designs that line an opaque material so the designs form shadows on the opaque material when the light tries to shine through -- some kind of lampshade type material -- and then stacked up tier cake style -- the top tier seems to be fully lined with something that has holes punched into it in the shape of the stars -- you can tell some of the designs are not adhering to the opaque material as well as in other places -- you can see some of the fence posts peaking out around the inside of the bottom 'tier' there on either side -- some of the tops of the shorter ones are not as close to the opaque material as others -- but this is my best guess --
it's a light I doubt it's a cake -- although each one could be wrapped around a cake -- but for real it would melt the icing too

I found a tutorial here: https://www.howtocakethat.com/silhouette-horse-and-sleigh-cake.html
this is pretty cool and amazingly timely — I have family coming in soon with a new wedding that we’re gonna celebrate just family style at a restaurant — and I got out my Margaret Braun book, and all the piping i’d love to do...because I really want something super cool... but yikes my hands & shoulders were ground glass yesterday — hurt to turn pages in the dang book — I could pull this off though and it fits the bride’s style too — she’s sleek, elegant and minimal — my husband will help too — and that cakedude, the tutorial!! way too cool Thank you!!
and bettya and aish90 — I owe you both!!
but i’m tons better today but I can’t push it either with piping — but I can sure buy stuff and assemble
