anyone seen a cake similar to this?

hello everybody :)

thought i'd utilise all ur wedding research experience and ask for your help in finding a cake i saw at a wedding fair but stupidly never took a pic of.

it looks very similar to this one but it had white and milk chocolate buttons in a different pattern and the tiers weren't as deep. anything closer to that description would be great, thank u :)

    Contact the venue as they are bound to have a list of exhibitors and you could possibly find out who made the cake that you are seeking.

    Lots of cake makers come up when you google chocolate wedding cakes.

  • if its just decorated with buttons why not buy the maks and spencers or tesco cakes and decorate it yourselfs if your feeling brave lol

  • I actually think I know which company made the cake I'm looking for but I saw it at a wedding fair in Edinburgh, and my wedding is down in Ayrshire so it's not really practical to order it from them. Don't want to be too cheeky by pretending I'm interested in getting it from them when I'm not.

    I am definately not brave enough to do it myself! I am far too clumsy for that!

    It's not a big problem if I can't find an exact picture, I'm sure the company I'm going to will manage to get it the way I want, thanks :)

    You could ask them if they deliver to Ayrshire - you are not committing yourself to ordering from them, you are just making an enquiry.

    Just give the pic to a local cake company and see what they can do. This is what we did.
