    WMy partners mum is also making a fruit cake to eat with the cheese as it's a bit of a Yorkshire thing to eat them together!!!

    Yummy! Its one of the reasons I look forward to Christmas, a bit of cake and cheese :-)

    I love the cupcake ones. Especially if they have the little silver balls in them.

    It looks lovely!! I didn't notice the cakeboards until you mentioned them lol!

    V, I LOVE your flowers/bouquet.......what flowers have you got in that...they are all fresh aren't they??
    Thankyou honey, they really did just plonk the cakes on, a few butterflies flew away(fell off) & they should have been more of a swirl effect, but it doesn't look too bad does it, it was yummy, dd asked for some wedding cake yday & was most dissapointed that there wasn't any.
    My bouquet was gorgeous, I will see if I have a better pic but I "think" there were roses, lisianthus, a few gerberas & freesias.
    Booo!!!

    The cake looked great, it must have tasted yummy if it's all gone now lol!!

    Thanks for naming the flowers, your bouquet looks soooooooo pretty, I thought I wanted plain ivory roses, but seeing all those pretty colours together, I think I've changed my mind! :D

    Many thanks for uploading those for me, emlou2009. And thank you for your kind comments. I like making cakes, and really wanted to personalise our wedding as much as possible. I also did our flowers. :grin:

    That's funny, i was looking at those last night, i was thinking of the pink one as a brides cake and the chocolate one for a grooms cake! :D

    It's hard to tell how big they are from a pic though, can you remember how many people you served with it nat??

    Nat that is the cake we're having too! Only we're having the ones in brown tones instead of pink.

    I was disappointed that they wouldn't do one without the stars and hearts on it though

    I can vouch for the taste of this cake, we had it for my nieces 18th birthday - it fed 70 people easily (and had some left) and it was absolutely DELICIOUS! Great value for the £40.
    It has loads of chocolate in it and is really really moist, without being cloying.
    It also keeps really well due to the quality of the icing.

    :D
