Flash me your wedding cake!

If you are concerned about price then how about making the cakes yourself and just paying for them tobe decorated? That is what my Mum is having done for me x

I am also having mine made by a lady who runs a business from home. I have sampled lots of cupcakes and had my sons birthday cake from her. Her work is amazing. Where abouts in the country are you?

This is one she has made before and will be almost the same I am having but with a diamante trim on like this

This is ours but the ribbon with be blue to match our colour scheme. We are using someone who has previously made cakes for us and we know they are great!

If you insist!!

we shopped around for prices and indeed found them way over budget but then a girl i use to go to school with runs her own little cake making place (from home) and ive sampled her cakes before and they were gorgeous! so she is now doing our for £250!

This is mine but its going to be hexagnoal shape

This is mine! Its costing £250 with delivery for 2 layers lemon and 2 vanilla sponge.

We havent gone traditional!

Mine was good old M&S!

I love the look of M&S cakes, and they're maximum £250! i refuse to pay a load of money for a cake, we've been to 22 weddings in the last two years and I cannot remember the cake at ANY of the weddings so I don't think it will be a big deal in the long run

Flamin Nora I facking LOVE your cake!!!!

Mrs C, without being rude - how much were the M&S tiers? I'm hoping to grab a couple of these. We've been quoted £30 per cake for plain white sugarpasted 8" cakes. It's just for cutting in the kitchen.

Flamin Nora

Wow! I love your cake and for that price its a steal. Hope it tastes as good as it looks! ?

This was mine. I loved it x

If I remember rightly it was about £90 for all 3 tiers (white sponge).

I was hoping to get the 3 for 2 offer but they didn't do it at the right time!

Brill thanks Mrs C. Sorry for hijacking!

Charwillis i love your cake - saved it to my scrapbook!!

Originally choose this cake...

But now I'm having second thoughts as lady hasn't been very reliable from what I've heard...

So, have seen an OTT masquerade type cake complete with plumes and masks. It is £375 though, having issues with actually paying that *just* for a cake. ?

Thanks! i wanted something different.

Hi

We are having a cake similar to this, from Jackson's bakers.

Except instead of having Malteasers down the sides, we will have the malteasers in funnels between each layer.

The bottom layer is sponge, the middle is chocolate and the top is sponge. It is costing us (well, MOG) £179 including delivery to the venue on the day :-) I think it was a bargain!

I love it :-)

Enterflora your cake is incredible!!!! It looks so gorgeous I bet it was a shame to cut and eat it! x

This is the cake I am having, but it will be pale green with the pink flowers and also round. although i feel a little disappointed that a hitcher is having the same ?

We had an extra tier in the kitchen to cut so we had 3 different flavours

Enterflora that is AMAZING!

We're having purple and white so would love that!

I wonder how much it'd have cost if it wasn't 'mates rates'?

We are having this - I don't like fondant icing. It will be chocolate, carrot and lemon drizzle (Snoop Dogg's favourite flavour....)

Im having this, a friend of mine said she can do it for £400

Mine was £350 for a

12" bottom layer of moist carrot cake filled with brandy soaked raisins

10" middle layer of sumptuous chocolate with a cherry compote, chocolate and Jamaican rum buttercream

8" top layer of moist lemon with limincello buttercream and lemon curd

This is our £260 Not having the flower with ribbon though but two big butterflies.

this is simular to what we will be having except ours will have the bottom two stacked together and butterflies cascading up the sides. We are having a fruit based with the other two chocolate. our colour scheme is silver and purple.

I have 1 week to go and I can not wait

We've decided to have cupcakes and 1 cutting cake, on some vintagey cake stands, hopefully it'll look a little like this.

This was ours, we got the cake from Hockley's and just put the ribbon and buckles etc on ourselves, it was bottom layer fruit and the other 2 chocolate fudge cake it tasted lush! Think it cost us £220 for the cake then a few quid for us to finish it off! x
