Wedding cakes - buying them ready made

Fleur10, 18 January, 2011 at 20:27 Posted on Planning 0 6

Hi all, H2B and I are seriously thinking of getting a 2 tier cake from Waitrose, M&S etc and then getting a friend to decorate it for us. If you have gone down this route we would be interested to know what stores you would recommend or avoid and did your cake taste as good as any made to order wedding cake you have tasted before?

Flashes of cakes for inspriration would also be very appreciated.

Thanks ?

    Wow that looks lovely, was it fruit or sponge inside? Did you do the decoration yourself?

    I'll have to take a look at their site, we only need a cake to feed 50 at the most.

    I am just buying a ready made cake from M&S, and decorating it myself, or thats the plan lol! Don't see why I should spend a fortune for something hardly anyone eats, and the money could be better spent somewhere else.

    My MIL2B is making our cake for us, which ends up even cheaper! She is doing a layer of fruit then sponge, putting columns between and filling the gap with cream roses. White icing and gold organza ribbon around the bottom. we are copying the one from the waitrose wedding cake book. Really simple and pretty.
