Wedding Forum - Prices...

We're paying £350 for 3 tiers, all different flavours :-)x

Depends on how much you can afford and the type you want! I'd say average is between £200-£500 for 3 tiers to feed about 100-120. That said decide how much you can afford and ask people based on that. I emailed a lady who's starting price for 3 tiers is £195 but said our budget was £150 and we wanted 3 tiers and she's said she'll do us one for that! Be cheeky, it can get you some good deals :) x

Depends on what you want - M&S do cakes and if you get their plain cake and do it yourself you can pay around £150 for it!

Just shop around and see what quotes you get xxx

i got quoted £450 for a 3 tier cake each tier different filling....now i ave managed to get it for £275 just by shopping around and it is exactly the same xx

i agree with lovelylainee, i'm getting married in september, and our budget is fairly tight, i've looked at places like m&s and tesco and they do a wide variety of cakes for very reasonable prices, as soon as you mention the W wrod to cake makers and florists the price seems to go up by about 50% !! this is the link for marks and spencers, hope it helps :-)

you can buy plain iced round fruit cake from tes co - they have 3 different sizes and for all 3 cakes, its costs no more than £25 - you cna decorate it yourself. :) x

mines only 67 for two tiers and a kitchens piece xx

Ours is a 3 tier cake and is costing £190. We are having 2 sponge layers and the middle layer chocolate. xx

Wow where do you find one for less than £100 lol! The best deal I could find was £199 from M&S or £200 from Patisserie Valerie for a 3 tier xxx

Our cake is costing silly amounts but i saw it and fell in love, £825 its 3 tiers serves 180 and is completely covered in white belgium chocolate roses xx

£290 for a bespoke cake, three round tiers, bottom fruit, middle lemon sponge, top chocolate cake, all with hand made sugar flowers and leaves and delivered to venue x

my h2B's auntie is doing ours but it's still costing £250 for a simple three tier with an extra cuttign bar. We're just having some ribbon and figurines of me, H2B and our bulldoggy on the top so I still think this is a bit steep.

Mines a lovely 3 tier sponge/fruit cake and getting it at £250

Me and mum are going to attempt to do our own. She makes great cakes its the icing we need to practice on. Have watched a few videos on the tube and it doesn't look that hard..but you never know :S If not, I think we may go M&S.

Have you considered the cupcakes? I think they look really nice and so much cheaper I'm thinking bout having them in my colours with butterflys on them to match my theme. M & s do really pretty glitterly ones I think is 48 for £35 or something

NINI - why not bake your own variety of cakes and have a cake table with different traditional cakes? you can bake them yourself and people would love it.

failing that, a brownies and cookie bar will keep everyone happy late in the evening - especiallly kids xx

ours is £280 inc set up and delivery for 4 tier cake to feed 160 people, vanilla, fruit cake and chocolate flavour x

Ooh good idea Anxious2012!

I do seen to have amassed a large variety of cake, muffin and cookie recipe books so I shall be putting them to good use!
