affordable cakes in Essex

lillypearce, 15 May, 2011 at 22:33 Posted on Planning 0 10

Hi

Does anyone know any good wedding cake makers around Colchester? I don't have a huge budget & found leigh cakes (nr Southend), they are really cheap, has anyone used them? I have tried googling for reviews, but cant find anything? I don't live close to the venue, so checking things out beforehand is proving abit difficult.

Thanks in anticipation.

    Hiya We used Sophisticakes in Southend for our wedding in March. She copied an exact design I saw in a mag that was £1000+. She did a fab job, it was identical and a quarter of the price. We had fruit, carrot and lemon cake in the tiers. Would highly recommend them.

    I'm looking for a cakemaker in Essex too, and when i saw your post i got in touch with Leigh Cakes and asked them to send me a sample. They said I had to pay £5 postage and they will willingly send me a sample to try - might be worth you doing this, too, just so you can check the quality before you buy.

    Thanks for all your replies, will try some of them. Have got some samples from Leigh Cakes, and they are actually really good. My Hubby to be (who until now has shown no interest in anything to do with the wedding) has suddenly announced he wants cupcakes!!!! Grrrrrrr !!

    Im using www.clairscakes.weebly.com she is based in herts but think she does cakes in essex as well. She is doing our wedding cup cakes. I would highly recommend her she matchs things to our colour schemes and the cakes are really nice and best of all quite affordablle, She is on the recommended supplier list on hitched as well.

    Hi, we are using Clairella Cakes in Southend, she came highly recommended to us and her prices are great. She can make something to suit any budget. On her Facebook page she has tons of her cake photos. She is a lovely lady to deal with Smiley smile
