there is a chocolate factory near me who gives you a taste of the cakes if you book an appointment with them to discuss your wedding cake. I'll be making an appointment with them for sure!!

there is a local company to me that does coconut with lime buttercream, chocolate with white chocolate butter cream, lemon drizzle, vanilla, etc etc so I am DEFO going to be giving them a try too! lol

phoen around some cake shops and ask them hun!! im sure they would only be too happy to give you a wee taster of the cake!!!think many shops do do them..you just got to ask xx

im gettin my cake from my work, M&S, 3 tiers for £64 and my mum is decorating

I found my cake by walking along the shops at the barbican in Plymouth and came across a great chocolate shop that has examples of their wedding cakes in the window, they look like pieces of art....brilliant. I went in got a price list and have an appointment next week to taste the different types of chocolate used....only thing is h2b will do that tasting as Im on a diet! )-: xxx

I got a cake tasting session with my cake maker!!

It was free and you didn't have to pay anything even if you didn't use her!!!

I want a cake tasting - do you think it matters that ive already got a cake lol x

wedding fayres are so good, as they're usually loads of cake companies and they all have books full of ideas and cake to sample! x x x

I know Rosei, I cant wait till its time to go tasting! We are planning 4 tiers, and each tier being a different flavour. Its just a shame that fruit has to be on the bottom and therefore the biggest tier. I hate fruit cake! although they do do a lighter version of fruit cake that might be ok

wow Nicci that sounds like my idea of heaven!!

I asked a supplier and for them you need to order the cakes (cupcakes too) in batches of 6. I want to try 2 of their flavours so that is £18 all together!

OK well I've just found a shop nr our venue so going to see if we can go along and try some at least then it'll give me a bit more of an idea! It's really hard though cos with Xmas coming up all the yummy things come in the shops and I am SO confused!! We have already got melt in the middle choc pudding and orange ice-cream for the dessert so I'm not really sure what flavour to go for for the cake... Like the idea of the Lemon Drizzle, do you think something like Carrot cake would work? x

Rosei-I LOVE carrot cake!!!! It can be done as ive sampled it when looking for wedding cakes. The only reason were not having it is the h2b hates carrot cake-the spoil sport! lol x

sounds like heaven, cake tasting. mil2b is making ours but we always get cakes, last time we visited we got coconut ice and this week was caramel shortbread :) yummy xx
