Best Tasting Birthday Cake??

Legacy_user

Hi All,

I wanted to get a birthday cake later in the week, my other half has spotted the Star Wars one in Tesco's at £8.

I just wandered if anyone else had recommendations for a good birthday cake, as some can be dry. The last two I got from M&S I was not impressed with to be honest... I can get a Costco one but we've tried this before and it's abit sweet for us - lots of sweet icing on top...

I would bake one, however my sponge cakes don't come out the best which is a shame - there is nothing like a lovely homemade cake

Any suggestions would be great thanks..

seeing as you said m&s and costco have already been tried and youre not keen, id recommend going to your local market and if you have a stall of home made cakes like most do, ask if she will make a bigger one ) then ice it yourself, or if you know of any elderly neighbours etc who would like to do it for you?
hope this helps )

Hi there,

When my daughter was 2 we got her the In the night garden one from Tesco as we were not having a huge party so it was big enough and i thought the cake was lovely!

I presume the star wars one from Tesco will be the same tastewise.

Just had a Hannah Montanna cake last week from Asda. Was yummy x

The tesco madeira iced one is very nice and then you can decorate it how you like. If feeling lazy just put a load of jelly tots, dolly mixtureds etc on the top. The other nice ones are the Asda and Tesco ones that you get a photo printed on.
