Let them eat cake - decoration help

cherrybloom, 1 March, 2013 at 20:24 Posted on Planning 0 9

Hi All,

So as I move through my list of things to do, the next thing on the list is the cake, now I have a lady thats makes amazing cakes but can't decorate for toffee and how the cake tastes is as important as how it looks to me, if not more. Anyway I want to ask this lady to make the cake BUT I want to know if there is anybody out there in the southern region who knows someone that will decorate cakes for a reasonable price, I don't want anything fancy plain white/ silver like the flash, I got one quote but it was £360 for a 3 tier cake, so any ideas would be much appreciated from you..

    When you say this person can not decorate is she not even able to ice the cake in plain icing?

    Hello!

    wanted to ask where abouts in the south you are and where you are getting married?

    from your pic it looks pretty simple, more so than my design, and I'm only paying £260 inc delivery.

    I've messaged you thank you..

    Hey Funky,

    Lets just say its hardly smooth or straight, I did think i could have bought some silver stickies and diamante ribbon but not sure if it will be enough to make it not look jank.

    No worries I replied. Just wanted to add that the reason I asked about looking for someone to do the whole package is because they will almost certainly deliver and set up which will be important on the day :-)

    The south is a big place! If you're in Devon then I highly recommend https://www.mandysclassiccakes.co.uk/ She does amazing cakes - you can send her a picture and she'll copy what you want.

    I dont understand the want or need to have it done in two places, this is surely to be more complicated than its worth? Im sure there are cake makers who make them look AND taste nice without the need to split services?

    I am sure there are, I am not doubting it, but I am choosing to have a cake made that we know we like and so will our guests, at £30 for each tier it is hardly so expensive we can't have it decorated elsewhere the fact she can't decorate cakes just means I have to find someone that can, you make an effort for those things that you want.

    Hi, I'm making my own cakes and can not decorate for toffee. The reason for making my own is that I wanted Caribbean cakes and these are far to expensive to get made and iced. The lady we got is decorating the 4 cakes i make and baking us a sponge which she will decorate as well. It was hard finding someone as a lot of cake companies will not just cover a cake. Try smaller companies, you will find someone. XxxX
