Anyone know of cake makers in Lanarkshire. have seen some of the commercial ones but think their cakes are overpriced. So if anyone has a contact would be grateful.

They shine in your eyes
When they kiss and tell
Strange places we never see
But you're always there
Like a ghost in my dream

    Are you anywhere near a Cosco? I borrow a card every time I need a large birthday cake and always go there. My mum is in a home and I got told to bring in a cake big enough for all the residents to share and they were amazed how great the cake was and all the staff wanted to know where I got it from.
  • Where abouts are you?

    That would be me....:cool: It is the Lightbodys factory shop - can be hit or miss though and the cakes are the same as the oes you would get in Asda , M&S etc - I went today as it is both the Grannys birthdays over the next few day - I am sure they will both love their High School Musical cakes ( well they were only £1 each and sell by date next week) The kids will be delighted!!:T
    No Longer addicted to Boots! - Well not today anyway!! :blushing:
