Can you show me your cakes?

I don't have a picture of ours but found this on Google and it's very similar. Ours will be in milk chocolate with pink sugar roses. As for what is a reasonable price, well that depends on lots of factors really ?. Ours is £460 though.

This was mine, we paid £500 for it which was a bit over our original budget. I think it depends on how much you want to spend but I found the average when I was looking for a 3 tier was about £400.

Thats such a beautiful cake Liz... wow.

I had no idea they could be so expensive. Mine is 3 tiers fruit (7", 9" and 11") and thats £140. Slightly mates rates but think her standard charge for this is £160. Don't have a picture unfortunatley as its a hybrid of a few I liked.

Liz, your cake is abslutely gorgeous. Love the brooches and the colour of the ribbon.

This was our's.

this is the cake i can find on the net most similar to what im having !

its 5 tiers cost £270 and each layer is a diff flavour

This will be my cake but with mango calla lilies to match my bouquet. It costs approx £400 (depends on exchange rate as we are being married abroad). Top two tiers will be rich fruit cake with the bottom one vanilla sponge.

What gorgeous cakes ladies! thanku for your replies.?

i had NO IDEA they were so expensive! oops! our original idea was a square 3 tiered one in sponge, but i love the round ones now too. all the ones i can see on google are 300 plus too. Looked on M and S website and they have some, maybe have to think about that instead!

It's only because we are getting married in Majorca I have opted to have one made there. It's just not practical to take one out with us.

To be honest, if we were getting married in this country, I would probably opt for an M&S one too or perhaps look at Waitrose, they do wedding cakes too. x

Love this! So simple but so effective too. But our top top budget is £300 for a cake, and that is the very most. May have to do some hunting around!

This is mine, but it will be in burgundy

This was ours, It was chocolate and vanilla cream sponge cake, like the Cadburys one you can buy in the shops ?

Going for something like this http://www.novelty-cakes.net/cake.php?cake=funky_miniatures

MIL2b and I are going to attempt to make them ourselves as I'm not paying £3 a pop for a cup cake!!!!

This was ours, made by a local cake maker, it was chocolate sponge and delcious! It cost £120, including set up, transportation, bargain!

It was a real talking piece between all the guests!

That's one of mine! - the white chocolate square one with red roses that is (can't seem to manage to 'quote')!

Feel free to have a look at my site for inspiration.

Ours will be similar to this:

It will be with red ribbon and pearls around the edges and red gerberas.

Hmm, showed when I posted it but now nothing there- strange.

It's 3 tier square cake with red ribbon round the edge and pearls and then 3 red gerberas on the side of the tiers

Drool drool dribble yum

plain ole 100 bucks cake outta markies for us, one tier fruit, 2 as sponge.

This was ours:

It's a Maisie Fantaisie rip off - they quoted £1,200 but we were lucky enough to have a family friend re-create it for £450.

Not got a picture, but ours is a whole load of cup cakes, very unweddingy, more like cupcakes for a kids birthday, all different coloured icing with fun toppings like mini marshmallows, sprinkles etc. Got a great deal too - only £1 per cake plus £20 for a top cake.

Ours is being changed quite a bit to have sugar paste callas with glittery stems and thistles (flowers in the pic are fake and the sugar paste ones are much much nicer and more life like) and the icing will also be kinda shimmery. I'm considering filling the vase that holds the 2nd tier with crystals or something sparkly but can't decide.

It is £200 and we are having the bottom in fruit, top in chocolate and then the same size as the bottom tier in sponge.

if the top tiers are fruit cake, won't they squash the sponge underneath?

?

The bottom tier will have dowelling inserted to support the top two tiers. We'll just have to rememder to remove it before serving!

This is the one I have my heart set on

About £100 per tier and I will be having 5.

Ours will be a bit like no 166/167/168 on here, but will be white chocolate icing, and instead of crystals there will be little edible pearls.

My friend's parents are making it. They're coming back to me with a quote next week, but I've been given a ballpark of about £100-120.

That makes sense. We had Mississippi Mud Pie on the bottom tier and sponge on the top. I had wanted the sponge layer to be bigger but the lady doing my cake said it would be squashed. I wish she'd told me I could have had dowling supports in.

Mississippi Mud Pie........Now your talking!!! Bet that was delicious!

This was ours. Don't know about cost because my parents made it and CBM decorated it.

This was ours which our friend made for us. (I loved it!)
