Where can i buy a photo cake?

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me if they know where i can buy one of those cakes with a photo on it, I would love to get one for my daughters birthday with her photo on but all the websites i have looked at are so expensive. I was wondering if they did them in any supermarkets?

  • Asda do them!!! The cake on its own costs about £8 and they charge for whatever you have on it on top. They look really good i'm getting one for my daughters birthday!
  • Asda used to do them, ask at the bakery counter next time you go in.
  • Asda for a tenner, done while you wait :heart:

    A lot of Sainsbury's stores do them now in their bakery section, it's around a tenner including the photo etc
  • Does anyone know if Asda still do these? Do I just take the photo in? or can I put it on a cd?

    Any info would be great :D
  • I don't know what the process is but I've seen people picking them up from my local Asda in the last week, so I think they're still doing them. Might be best to give your local store a call, I'm sure they'd be able to tell you what to do.

    I've had a few done at both tesco & asda. Each time I took the photo in, and they scanned it - I've never asked if they can do it from a disk.

    Asda do larger cakes too, but they don't make the photo any larger, so there is a LOT more cake visible. I think the photo looks better on the smaller cake, & it's better to get 2 if you need more cake ;)

    Asda also do a chocolate iced version of their photo cake. Don't choose a photo with a lot of light colours on it for this as the chocolate shows through & looks awful.

    It takes about 10 mins if they are not too busy.

    The cake didn't taste too bad either :)
  • I did one for my daughter's bday at Sainsbury. Under a tenner i believe and very quick..just bring the photo on a CD or USB key. Have fun!

  • We had the Sainsbury's one for DS's birthday recently - the cake was very nice :D
