Wedding Cake

[Outtheway]

Anyone got a ball-park cost for a wedding cake two tier (1 chocolate, 1 coffee & walnut) with icing and decoration £?
Any ideas? Thanks

Depends on the cakemaker - really does.....can be anything from £50 to £500 for two tiers

Sorry,I don't have an Idea...but could you not contact your local cake shop/coffee shop. Where are you based?

Wow, those prices are amazing.... I think I'd rather go without, or make my own

It could be well possible that I have covered your area in constructing a cake making database though it isn't yet complete.....if you are in the south or northern England then I have covered every home and small business.

the answer to that question is basically how much do you want it to cost?

[DTCwordfan]

to some extent that is true, woofgang......

I think the problem here is that those sites quoted are likely for a standard wedding cake mix of rich fruit and royal icing. A coffee and walnut cake is totally different, try a few local to yourself for quotes.

That's what I would do Mamya, or make my own

[DTCwordfan]

That's what I can possibly help with, if we know the town......

Have a look at the marks and spencers web site - don't know if they do coffee and walnut though

It would depend on how many you want to feed and what decorations you would like on it. My daughter is a registered cake maker from home. She spends time talking over designs, drawing them, pricing each item. It takes time and a lot if skill. Which is why cakes can be expensive, try asking round your local area, about home bakers, if you have facebook a lot advertise on there and that way you can see their work.
