Hey bridies!! Is it impossible to get a cake option 4 70ppl under £100??
CommentAuthorRach (Mrs H)...
yep we are getting ours from m and s ...they do pre done ones for about 199 and plain ones to decorate yourself cheaper still.....a the end of the day it needs to look nice for a few piccys and taste nice!! Hope that helps x x

You will do it easily from M&S - have a look at their website and they taste nice! As Rach said the build yourself ones.
CommentAuthorlelbel1
Was gonna suggest them Rach - it's even 3 for 2 at the mo! The big supermarkets also do plain white tiered cakes for very reasonable prices - certainly under £100. x
CommentAuthorsbride
You can just get a plain cake and decorate it with flowers or something. Or is there anyone u know who is good at making cakes? Or could u make 70 cupcakes and decorate them?
Have a look at the M&S cake - the traditional. They are delicious and you can have sponge or fruit or both. Decorate them yourself with ribbon or flowers. We are having these at our wedding and I have only heard good things about them. There might even be a discount code somewhere.

CommentAuthorangelan1986

CommentAuthorx~Hails~x
My friend is making mine for £50 (paying for just the ingreadiants) lol so if you have any friends or family good at baking then ask them hun. No harm in asking.

CommentAuthorMonicaGeller
m&s do a cutting cake so that there is enough for people to eat - some people have fake tiers, which are just iced boxes or display cakes and then use a cutting cake xxx
CommentAuthorMrs Q - Weegie

CommentAuthorMina
try a supermarket cake?
CommentAuthorRoxy_Blade
Mines coming to £60 for a 3 tier chocolate sponge cake, but my friends mum is making it so Im lucky. Other then that, I was going to be charged £60 for a 2 tier sponge cake at a local cake makers. Lol. If you dont mention wedding, it usually puts the price down. If that helps at all...
CommentAuthorMaggielou
Wish I knew somebody who makes cakes!!
CommentAuthorRoxy_Blade
You could always give it a go yourself? My Nan made my mums - even though she'd never made a cake before. You have plenty of time to practise :)
CommentAuthorMrs Hailstone 2 be
We're getting an M & S one too and because of the offer at the moment you can get 3 tiers for £60 and then just ask your florist to do something for it
CommentAuthoreebeegeebee
I'm making mine; it's costing about £50.
CommentAuthorMrs Rebecca Hossfeld
We had cupcakes made & it was fantastic, although we only had like 20 people there it was still really good :D

Keep seeing loads in Manchester but I'm in Leicester! Think I may have to opt 4 the m&s basics
CommentAuthortoni400
Im getting ours from m&s!! seems im one of many. im gonna buy the plain ones and decorate myself.
CommentAuthorloucubitt1987
I didnt know about the m&s cakes! thanks for the heads up! I love the idea of buying a plain cake and then decorating exactly how i want myself!!!!!! :D xx
CommentAuthorXLittleMissMe!X
I'm making my own fake cake that I can decorate early to save any stress and then serving up sheet cakes which works out about £10 each if I had to buy them but a friend of mine is doing that for me. As it is the h2b's birthday she is also doing him a birthday cake to double up as a grooms cake so we will have both fruit and sponge cake to serve up.
CommentAuthorHeidi
You could buy three seperate teirs and stack them together? x
CommentAuthorChezza
The top cake is a mr kipling french fancy birthday cake xxx
CommentAuthorEriksfjord
My MiL made our cake - she had it professionally iced and then my florist decorated it - it looked fantastic. Got my stand off bay of e - have listed it on there to sell! We also made our own cup cakes and iced them and put roses in the middle of the icing - they looked fantastic and everyone asked where we got them done! Got the roses off bay of e and the cupcake cases - cost us about £15 to do 30 cupcakes!
CommentAuthorMrsMac
M&S plain iced 3 for 2 cakes with our initials (which happen to be M&S lol) in gold to stand in the top from bay of e for 7 quid, simple, elegant &cheap!
