I make cakes for weddings. And recently I had a order. So as normal I made It. Because I make them at home my dog has eat half of it. The wedding is on 7 June 2005. Has anyone got a recipe for a easy to make wedding cake?

I'm so sorry cloude, your post really made me laugh, as I was imagining your dog scoffing up the cake behind your back!

Depending on how big the cake has to be, you could always buy a ready made square/round posh fruit cake from Sainsburys or M&S, then ice it at home - I bet no one would even realise you'd cheated! Good luck!

Surely this is a joke!
i too hope this is a joke...buy a cake from M and S and then maybe look for a different career?
I can quite believe it. My mam used to make cakes and one day she left a chocolate cake in the middle of the table in the living room and locked our dogs in the kitchen. While we were out they managed to get in and eat the lot!!

You make cakes for a living and you need to post for a recipe? I think you should look for a new career!

I thought it might be a joke too - hence my "buy a cake from....". 

Two of my friends are professional cake maker/icers - they certainly wouldn't need to ask for an easy recipe!

I hope the dog enjoyed it though, he, he!

You had already made the cake when the wedding is on the 7th of June ?? Surely it would have been a tad rancid by then anyway ! Think your dog might have done you a big favour there, actually. Good for him , I say !

maximo - if it's a fruit cake it needs to be made well in advance, sponge cake would be a different matter.

maximo - To be fair to cloude, fruit cakes do last a long time, the same as Christmas cake!

Your post did make me laugh though!

Our posts crossed spudqueen!

Oh gosh .... this made me laugh too at first, but then I got to thinking how I'd feel if i were the customer of someone who cooks at home, yet doesn't ensure her pets are kept completely away from the finished result !

I've made quite a few celebratory type cakes in my time and friends have often suggested I do this professionally. However, apart from the fact I'm a perfectionist and therefore icing and decoration can take ages and isn't therefore really very cost effective, what has always stopped me is the fact I have 3 cats and though well behaved I can't keep them out of the kitchen. Much as I love my cats I have to concede that prospective customers probably wouldn't be quite so keen if they knew the cats ate their dinner in the same room !

As for easy recipes ......... Google this if you really have no other idea and you'll get 100s of results if not 1000s. The rest of us here don't know, for example, what size cake you need.

Oh .... and I'm sure Smudge meant no offence, but if I ended up with an M&S cake I could have bought myself, I'd be well annoyed - especially if the wool was pulled completely over my eyes and I had to pay the "home-made" price.

Hi Gilli - I would have been well annoyed too if both our daughters wedding cakes had turned out to be shop bought then iced! But like the others, I thought cloude might be having us on!

Uuurrrggg - the thought of having a dog's chops round someones wedding cake - he, he!
