    Depends on what your after. Asda and Tesco do plain white iced cakes you could add your own ribbon and toppers and pillars and make it look really nice. Marks and Spencers also do nice ones fairly cheap. Have a search through the previous topics as this topic has been covered a few times so that might also give you a few ideas alongside ones that may be posted here x

    Im having a few problems too, found a nice cake maker but she isnt replying to my emails now so not sure whats happened there, might be having to find someone else and looking to pay around £300. Was going to do the M&S cakes but want someone to do all the hard work for me.... make cake, decorate it and deliver it and set it up at venue and collect stand afterwards. Guess I have to pay for that sort of service.

    We are just going to buy a pretty stand and decorate that, then have a very simple white cake and put flowers on top. My Dad is actually making our cake but it would still be cheap if you bought a simple cake from a supermarket or something.
