    Sure, it's the same place Chris posted about her daughters cake for her wedding last Saturday!

    To go to the next page, you can only click 'next' at the top of the page if that makes sense, I nearly missed the 2nd page as I was looking for the 'next' at the bottom of the page lol!

    Have you been given a quote for them to do that for you?

    our wedding cake is included in the package that we have with the hotel our wedding reception, so i really have no idea!
    judging by the cake makers pricing structure id say it will be about £300 if bought.

    £300 is really good for 4 tiers! Hope it turns out the way you want it to x

    have you considered having the tiers in different cakes? A fruit at the bottom, followed by different sponges for the top two? Then all guests are catered for. Prefer the top cake :)

    I'd never considered £200+ for a cake a bargain until you put it against how many it will feed too.


    That website is great too, I love the cake with the vows on it

    Yep, that's what we're doing anyway.

    Not fussed on fruit cake TBH!

  • I like the top one best - very striking
    However, a cake-making friend of mine said that black icing is quite difficult (tends to be dark grey) so you might want to see if you can get a look in the flesh - if you haven't already.

    It is a bargain! But just for the record I would like to say the first cake wins it for me. It's classy, in an understated way IYKWIM :)

    The other one uses "props" to make you feel like it's something special - if that is what you go for, you can hire the ball pillars and twiddle with ribbon yourself!
