Large shop bought birthday cake

longwalks1

Where can I buy the largest ‘off the shelf’ birthday cake please? Ideally chocolate or sponge, but don’t want to have to have on especially made due to cost..

Where can I buy as big a cake as possible please?

Costco.
OK you may need to borrow a mate with a card, but they will customise it quite a bit for the price (means two trips - one to order, one to fetch.)
It is Big - our cakes fed the entire primary school, pupils, staff, teaching assistants & caretaker. Saved a heck of a lot of nervous wear and tear on me as parent.

Google says size/will feed/price is 40cm x 30cm in size, serves 48 and sells for £14.99.


That said, the ASDA Mega Chocolate Celebration Cake, serves 40 & costs £16 - may be less fuss to get to. Not tried one knowingly.

How big - how many people is it for?

Sorry should of said, maybe 50 people, give or take?

Asda and Tesco do a chocolate celebration cake that serves 16 for £6.
Not sure you'll get much bigger without having it made.

Ignore me - Asda do bigger, up to 36 servings. You can filter by size on the website but you'd need to check if your local store stocks them.

Buy several smaller square/rectangular ones, put them together on a cake board and pipe some readymade icing over the joins.

Asda says this one serves 40

Marks and Spencers, they do great cakes and various sizes, you can easily pretty it up yourself with decent artificial flowers etc. https://www.marksandspencer.com/c/food-to-order/wedding-cakes

Have two cakes - one chocolate, one sponge - gives people a choice and solves your problem in a cost effective way.
