Wedding cakes...

nuttymummy

What sort of wedding cake are you having, how much does it cost, and what would you say was a reasonable price for a wedding cake? pics would be great too

im thinking about making my own wedding cake (heard thats its bad luck though???!!!)

i make wedding cakes anyway...but the local cake shop was shocked to hear how much i charge...she charges approx £600 for a 3 tier wedding cake....whereas i can make one for roughly £120?? her jaw nearly hit the floor when i told her LOL

whats ur perfect wedding cake??

I'll be buying the tiers from M&S as my cake-baking skills are pretty dire and decorating them with ribbon. Total cost about £100. Unless of course you're in the south east and available because £120 is a bargain haha!

Here is my cake. A lady who works from home is making it and it is costing £100

Think there was a thread a few weeks ago with loads of pics if that helps.

I want a croque en bouche (sp?) but DF isn't taken with the idea. Apparently it doesn't look like a cake so we're not having it *sigh*
So now back to the drawing board. My wonderful sister and her hubby are giving us £500 for a cake (I can't imagine we will spend all of that on a cake!) but it means we can really splash out if we want to.:D
My goodness, you are cheap :rotfl:;)A lot of people will be making their own cakes on here, so if you want to, go for it!

That is a freaking STEAL. The only people I contacted wanted over £300. I don't even EAT cake !!!!!!!

yeah they are pretty dear really.....i made this one....bottom 2 fruit cake, top two lemon sponge for £175 (fruit cake is WAAAY dearer than sponge)
they got quoted £900 before coming to me!!! (o...just been informed as a new user i cant post links......will edit when ive made a few more posts LOL)

wanttogetwed....just be careful...its a LOVELY design, but the tiers are a little 'lumpy' if u can see past that, then its fine, great price becasue those crystal things arent cheap

i was thinking purple n white for mine....what colours are all you having?
