Oooh I have no idea myself! One of my friends is quite good at cakes though so I was thinking of asking her to help out and we could just do one main cake and loads of cupcakes to go with it!

I am having 60 cupcakes half white chocolate with milk choc malteser on the other have milk choc with a white malteser on then the top cake is chocolate cake with a dome of maltesers all over it (chocolate over load) hahaha its costing us £205 but £25 of that is delivery think thats a bit of a bargain to be honest

CommentAuthorvicandsimon
i think the price of cakes are way ott so Im getting mine from m and s 4 tiers for 125 and i will decorate it myself :) x
CommentAuthorNicsquared
I think the three tiers I have been looking at have been between £300 -450 depending on the amount of detail and what cake you are having (fruits often more expensive but you get more portions)
There are so many people out there who will tell you
what you can't do.
What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!
CommentAuthorLiza247

We are getting a four tier cake with fruit bottom, carrot next, then a victoria sponge and chocolate on top. Our needs are quite specifiic due to someone with a nut allergy so more costs are needed to elimnate any possiblity of nut traces so altogether it's costing £265 with free delivery and set up - very pleased with this. HAving it fairly plain and elegant with 3 clusters of roses on with diamantes on etc... Will try and upload some pics at some point. :)

we're having a 3 tier cake (vanilla sponge, chocolate cake, lemon drizzle) and its cosing £197. I'm assuming I have to pick it up and take it to the venue myself but I'm not sure xx

we are getting ours from hmm how can i put this 'spenc of mark' for £250 delivered they do loads all rather cheap and you can customise when they arrive. You can also buy small bars of cake if you want to taste the layers. fab price i think xx
CommentAuthorClarabella
What i might do is buy a plain blank costco cake so the venue can cut that up and get a m n s fruit cake so people can either have a choice of either cake but i'll decorate the m n s cake myself.Now i just need so ideas on what to put on it lol

We are having a 2 tier cake with a spray of butterflies coming down. It's an idea a chose myself so I actually don't know what the finished cake with look like 100% but the shops other cakes are all amazing! It's costing £250 x
CommentAuthorClarabella
Well i make and decorate my own xmas fruit cake (well i have done for the past 2 years and plan again for this year) and they have tasted great but im not sure if i could ice it proplerly and make it look fantastic. The decoration wouldnt be a problem once i know what i was doing but its just icing the cake where the proplem would arise lol and my sister doesnt like fruit cake so thats why i thought about just getting a cake from costco. I dont know if anyone has tasted their cakes but they are so yummy!!! and they are cheap lol

Me and my oh are having a traditional top tier cake and about 84/86 cupcakes.. With edible butterflys on and icing our colour. All that included hire of stand and delivery comes to £125 xx
CommentAuthorlala "mod" bunni
we arent paying anything .... it is being made as a wedding present
We had a very large, one tier cake, shaped like a book - complete with ribbons, flowers and bride/groom toppers (and personalised for us) for £117. We didn't want the 'traditional' tiered cake and liked the idea of something a bit different.
We had around 20 to the wedding and brought the cake home so that extended family, friends and colleagues could have some as well - and we still finished up with a lot left over.
