How much are you paying for...

Nothing :-) My sister is making my cake plus cupcakes.

Nothing :-) My sister is making my cake plus cupcakes.

We are paying 200 pounds for a 3 tier cake serving roughly 125 people there are so many yummy flavours to choose from so havent decided just yet. I like to think we got a good bargain

I've just posted a thread (well I clicked post and it hasn't come up yet....) saying I'm looking for a 3-tier cake for a budget of £200, so where on earth did you get that quote from???! I bet it's hundreds of miles away from where I'm having my wedding but it's worth asking!!

£180 for two tiers, fed 80. It was made by a lovely cake decorating shop.

Cake is one of those things that I outright refuse to pay for. It's just not an important part of the day to us. I think I will probably make it myself with my mum making an amazing gluten/dairy free tier for the guests with allergies.

Plus thats an extra £400-£500 on the booze budget

If you decide to use them, let me know

£225 for a three tier 'naked cake' which will feed 100-120.

£295 for a 3 tiered cake for us x

Nothing..

OH uncle is a retired professional cake maker.

Need to go and have a chat with what he's doing.

Will let you know once I get a proper quote!! Having trouble finding someone to make mine as it has to be egg free but finally have an appointment next week and the lady has reassured me that it will fit my budget of under £200

£195 for 3 tiers. (bottom ten inch one fruit, one choc and one vanilla sponge) She is delivering it to us for that as well.

Nothing! (apart from cost of ingredients)

I make cakes so am making my own...just doing a 2 tier one for the ceremonious cutting & having mini cupcakes as favours. I'm well known for cupcakes in my family having made hundreds of the things for various do's so thought it would be another little part of me to add to the day!

Wow...some great deals you've all got!

I think I'll shop around a bit then as £400 seems to be on the high side!

Thanks everyone!

Whereabouts are you based?

I had to ask a few places - the first couple were well over £300 for the type of fancy icing flowers I wanted!

Nothing. Cake was one of the least important budgetary considerations. We had a small plain fruitcake, iced, and loads of really tasty large cupcakes, all made by us/family.

About £10 for ingredients.

I made a single top tier, and 2 tiers of cupcakes.

We are paying £350 for our wedding cake 5 tiers two of which are dummy and will feed around 150 xx

Emmiejune- we are in west sussex, £400 is the best quote I've had so far.

Nothing really, just ingredients.

SiL is making it ?

£320 for two tiers. One 10 inch carrot cake, one 8 inch chocolate sponge cake. Supposedly feeds approx 110. In this style (but no ribbon or flowers on top) but icing will be pale pink and pale green like second pic.

£250 + £25 for cake stand hire nd ie refundable.

mines 4 tiers, and the third one is double height and will feed 134, got light fruit (ha mum! bring your own christmas cake!) carrot cake, vanilla sponge (double tier!) and chocolate!

As you're in West Sussex - look at Cloud 9 Cupcakes in Brighton - I got my three tier cake from there for £150, and they only use buttercream. It was amazing, everyone was talking about it for ages. We had around 110 people and I still took the whole of the middle tier home as it didnt get sliced up.

Ive been quoted £300, thats 4 tiers, chocolate, sponge, lemon and fruit. white icing with diamante ribbon (£10) delivery to venue which is over half an hour away (£10) 6 gluten free cupcakes and a bride and groom (£30) but not sure if we will have the bride ans groom figures.

this is only quote ive had but think we are going with this.

Unsure atm, we maybe going with m&s have had them at family weddings before plus oh works there so get discount think it willbe £120 for 3 tiers and I'll get some blue ribbon and flowers to go on top.

One of mums friends make cakes so will try hers and she will just charge us ingrediants about £90

£325 for the Cake

about £15 for flowers in between tiers (fake)

Toppers from Love on Top (HIB on here!)

We had 2 fruit, one plain madeira and the top was lemon sponge.

Thanks everyone!

Wishfulwhispers- thank you for letting me know about cloud 9. Some yummy flavours on their website and a great price. we are near to brighton so think we are going to try and pop down Sunday and try some cupcakes...any excuse for some cake tasting :-)

Kjay, your cake and flavours look fab! Am i right in thinking you are in the North West?

Do you want to give honorable mention to your supplier?! desperately looking for a recommendation for cake makers as our venue will have the cake displayed prominently so want something that looks the part!

£355 for us.

We're having 3 tiers consisting of chocolate sponge & Baileys chocolate fudge, Vanilla sponge & blackcurrant buttercream and lemon sponge with lemon butter cream.

A 4 tier cake feeds well over our 115 guests but a 3 tier doesn't feed enough. Therefore we are having a 3 tier cake with a dummy 4th tier and then our cake maker is making us a small cutting cake to put in the back to make up the numbers.
