A4 / large supermarket sponge cake for birthday?

Io07

Hello,
Hope one of you wonderful people can help. I've gone and ordered an A4 cake topper for my dino mad son for his 3rd (we'll probably have a kids party followed by family one). I've now realised that most supermarkets (tesco/asda) seem to do large cakes that are round and/or rich fruit!!
does nayone know where I can get a A4 sized sponge cake??
thanks!

The picture cakes from the supermarkets are around A4 size I am sure.

Costco do big Birthday cakes to order

I am pretty sure my friend bought a A4 size one from sainsburys that is plain as you can get them to print a photo on it, think it is about £7.99 or something but have seen they do them in tescos aswell

Think lots of the wedding girls get square/rectangular plain cakes from Costco, or possibly M+S.

The photo cake can be bought from Asda or Tesco and they scan a photograph you have for £8-£10 and I believe that it is A4 in size. It is lovely sponge.

The Costco cakes are really nice - they look quite *iced* and firm but they're actually really soft squidgy icing and lovely sponge.

They're big cakes - you'd easily get your A4 topper onto them. They normally do them iced with decorations - I'm sure you can get plain ones if you ask. They might even be able to ice round the topper if you gave it to them in advance.

costco do huge ones cheap, and asda do rectangular plain iced cake in vanilla or chocolate for about £9.99.

I was about to say Asda as that is where we have bought from when we have got toppers from e-bay. Also they are quite tasty!

Or, make your own in a turkey roasting tin! :money:

Was going to suggest making your own. Use one of the devils food mixes, they work out perfect every time and you would have to be burn-beans-bad to mess it up.
