Another option look up cake makers in the phone book. For my wedding in someserset I had a lovely chocolate iced slab cake for 150 people for £60.
I had it decorated to a set design- I wanted it to look like a book but it was stunning and tasted delicious and was a bargain too!0 -

In the US / Canada they line up a batch of muffns into the required shape and smother with icing, decorations etc. When the cake is "cut" everyone gets a muffin to take away with them. That has got to be the most cost- and time-effective mass cake production method.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!
