Wedding cake & cutting bars

shellsuit

Has anyone just had a sponge wedding cake (to keep the cost down) and had fruit cutting bars for anyone who wants fruit?!

I just had sponge! We did consider getting the sponge cake and fruit cutting bar but we scaled down our wedding dramatically so the sponge was all we needed.

No-one will know whats inside the official wedding cake so if it's going to help you cut costs then go for it!

I was looking at the marks and sparks cutting bars, i'm not too fussed on asda and tesco cakes to be honest and the m&s ones aren't that expensive either!

Be much easier to cut up too rather than a round cake.

It's my Dad who wants the fruit, nobody else, just him!

Might just get him a fruit bar all to himself lol

If he had his way, I would be having a 5 tier trifle! :rotfl:

We had the M&S 3 tier chocolate cake, and a plain sponge and a fruit cutting bar - all of them were lovely! Although I can't understand anyone who doesn't like chocolate cake myself!
