Cake help needed *with flash*

I think thats about right.

That sounds like a good price to me! I've only haqd one quote myself so far though, loev the sound of your different layers!

The different layers are to satisfy my OH's cake habit haha he couldn't choose which one he wanted so has asked for all 3 ?

Sounds like a pretty reasonable price to me.

We're having an Italian cake - they're much cheaper and about a million times tastier

If the leaves are sugar leaves then £250 is a great price, those alone will take hours to do (i have had to make 50 oak tree leaves before , dont ask how long it took lol)

I think that is a really good price for that cake! It is lovely btw!

I know nothing about cakes, I'm not sure we will have one so haven't had any quotes... Just wanted to say that it is a lovely cake!

Thanks for your help everyone

We've decided to go ahead with the cake, I'm super excited - the lady who's making it is brilliant and her cakes are simply divine! eeek I want it now not in 11 weeks!!

What is an Italian wedding cake? And where are you getting yours made?

I only sak because as a rule, M never really likes cake - he is keen on cupcakes for the wedding, but I would quite like a big white cake and I was wondering if an Italian wedding cake might be incredibly delicious and to M's liking AND big and white for me ?

Well, I'm from Bedford (which has a large concentration of Italian people) so there are literally LOADS of Italian cafe and pasticcerias.

Here's the website for one of the Italian cake shops in my town:

Basically, an Italian cake is a sponge cake laced with alcohol (rum/amaretto etc). It's then filled with an Italian style pastisserie cream which is like milk and eggs and custard and stuff. It's predominantly dairy instead of flour and sugar.

Hi, do you mind telling me who is making this cake and where they are located? I think thats a great price for what you're getting and the cake looks beautiful! Thanks.

Hi caroline, I'm in Newcastle upon Tyne, and it's a local lady who works from home. Not sure how happy she would be to have her details placed on here but if your interested send me a private message and I'll give you her details.

My sister got married in Italy to an Italian so had an Italian cake - think cream gateau with regal icing holding it together rather than cake and you're half way there. It was a seven storey monstrosity that wobbled very precariously on the trolley when it got wheeled in which provided a good comedy moment!! We had provided a fruit cake with marzipan as the base layer as a nod to the English tradition but the Italians didn't get teh marzipan bit so took it all off and covered fruit cake in regal icing which turned it green!

It's still a talking point!!

Haha sounds interesting! Despite my family being huge cake eaters, we wont be having a seven teir one!!

Thanks but newcastle is a bit too far away i think. never mind but thanks anyway!
