How can it POSSIBLY cost that much to make a cake?!

If anyone lives near birmingham and needs a cake maker, we got ours for £275 and it was fantastic! we had chocolate cake tier, sponge tier and a fruit tier, all done in the colours we asked for and style. I have a pic somewhere of the cake if you are interested.
I live in Kent but my Bridesmaid lives in birmingham so she recommended the lady and brought the cake down for us, well worth the travel! xx

Have a lookie in waitrose for wedding cake book, they have gorgeous cup cake teirs with a sponge/fruit cake and they are decorated like some of the ones PP put on! i had a plain one from waitrose and decorated it with my own roses etc.

Mine has only cost £120 with the sugar models inc- bargain

Mmmmmmmmmmmm


+ You have to remember that you're paying for the hours of the person making it. It takes ages to decorate a cake!

I've had a little change of plan. My best friend is really poorly ATM so she's not been able to help with invitations and stuff, so I asked if she'd sort out the cake and I'd give her the money. So she's pulled some strings and knows a cake maker and she's designed a heart shaped chocolate cake fitting with our colour theme, for the same price as the M&S cake. So I'm really excited, but we're not allowed to see it til our anniversary, which TBH I'm over the moon about, cause it makes it more special. Pics to follow in 5 long weeks! LOL

oooooooooo Holly they are lush...you have an idea of colour theme you are going for? xx

This is similar to mine - but the flowers only go around the bottom of the cakes (where the ribbon is on this one) and its all white not blue with piped silver dots in the centre of the flowers, only using the smaller flowers too!

Its being brused in edable glitter so it sparkles a little.

Bottom cake is fruit, then vanilla sponge, chocolate and then lemon!!

£100

We got one to serve 100 people (served it as favours with coffee and then as the desert at the night do and still have the top tier in the cupboard...scared to open it tbh! lol) and it cost us £400. The bride and groom are made to look like you and the 'LOVE' are sugarcraft (the best man broke the 'LOVE' about 5 minutes into the reception....could have killed him!

If we hadn't had this one, we would have had.....

Unfortunately this didn't go with our colour scheme of Blue and White so we went with the top one! We changed the ribbon on the top one to blue and asked for blue 'accents' so it was majoritively blue.

lovely cakes!!!!

i dont know why people charge so much either....i make wedding cakes n the dearest one i made was £175 i think....4 tier aswell!! i think they charge by the hour coz ALOT of time goes into cakes, people dont realise just how hard they actually are to make. but i dont charge by hour.....theyd be about £1000 if i did!! its just a flat rate fee for time n electric for each tier, with a little more on top if it has a lot of detail.

but i agree £700 for a cake is mental!!

This is the engagement cake that OHs Mum made for us. One heart is made out of fruit cake the other heart is sponge (I don't like fruit cake). She even made the bears and roses from icing but I don't have the heart to eat them yet lol.
