We're having cheese!!! £140 to feed 80-85 and we're having it for supper on the day (about 9.30pm) with fruit cake, crackers, olives, grapes and chutneys!

After all the looking and choosing our cake, a friend of mine rang me on Monday to tell me that her and her friend (who is a chef) are making my cake for definite now, the fruit has already been started!

Told her we want black and white and to suprise us!

We don't have to pay as it's my friends gift to us, which is so lovely of her ~ her friend is poorly though, she has a tumour and is having treatment at the moment ~ what a trooper she is though, mind you, she is a proper scouse bird lol!

Its a bit of an obsession, some might call it mild odd number OCD.

Can you imagine how crazy it drives me having 3 kids.

love this! i also have the number thing and some other obsessions

Where did you find that cake originally? no one in my family makes cakes so will need to pay but i love the dies of the colours

Thanks for all those, I am tempted to go down the cupcake route as just cant find a caker maker near us for anywhere near £100 - am in south yorkshire. I only need to feed 70 people, so am loath to pay £300

The only problem with cupcakes in Asda etc is that they arent in our coloursceme, grr! so need to keep looking i think!

I am being shockingly extravagant (sp?) My sister is kindly gifting us the cake and told us to go nuts. We haven't decided on that part of it yet! However in the evening my aunt (who makes them professionally) will be making one in our colours (white, silver & blue) and we're also going down the cheese route with little ones for each table! something like
:T

This is prob the only thing I'm going to be very un MSE about! :rotfl:

Joolesw - are you getting one made or making it yourself? Ive been meaning to ask in Morrisons/ Tesco as to buying wheels.

Have you looked at this site? I haven't used them, only emailed so far but they were very friendly. I'm sure there was someone on here who has used them though? If you read their information page they do give some warnings about buying from supermarkets. I know they are trying to seel their own products, but it is worth being forewarned of what 'could' happen

my mum and aunty are going to make the bottom fruit layer and all i need to do is find a baker at home that will make two other layers and ice the whole lot!

my sister got that done before but i need to check if the baker she used is still working, fingers crossed he is and that it won't cost a huge amount of money!
