If you're on a really tight budget, you could try buying pre-iced 'celebration cakes' from somewhere such as Marks & Spencer and then go to Hobbycraft at Meadowhall retail park for the decorations and accessories then you can make it exactly how you want it.

My friend makes wedding cakes. It all depends on your budget and what you are wanting. All her cakes are made to your own specifications and delivered to your reception on the day. If you want to have a look at her website it's http://www.cakesbyemma.co.uk you will probably be able to get cakes cheaper but you have to bear in mind you may not get the same quality as that which is handmade by a chef with 20 odd years experience.
Emma will be at the wedding fayre at the McDonalds Hotel in Sheffield on 10th and 11th March if you want to see a sample of her work on display.

Try Jan on Spa View Road at Hackenthorpe. Fantastic cakes at extremely reasonable prices. She recently made a wedding cake for me (twas a pressie for someone) in the shape of a pond with the bride and groom sitting at the side. He in his overalls and she in her nurses uniform complete with big boobies! :) It was brilliant, the bride and groom loved it and it was a talking point all evening. PM me of you want more details :)

Dont you think you get what you pay for? Would you want packet mix cake for your wedding? You may as well go to asda if you do, at least if you buy it from asda you are only paying packet mix price, there are plenty of cake decorators in sheffield charging hundreds for packet mix. Try before you buy I say!!!!!!!! If they wont give you a sample ask yourself why!!!!

Dont go to cakebooth! Their shop is dirty, they dont use the ingredients they say they do either!
We found this out when we were looking into ours.
We have found a lovely lady who makes cake #s who lives right at the top end of stannington. She is lovely and has a seperate kitchen in her own home. I could get the number if you like? She is very reasonable :)

Hi all

With the wedding just 3 weeks away today, we've decided we'd like to change our dessert. We're having a very very small wedding and are having a dinner party afterwards with parents only. We've decided against a cake, and are having pudding and cheeses instead.

But - we've decided we'd like to have a bit of wedding kitch and put a bride and groom on the top of our pudding. Does anyone know where you can buy them??

Thanks

We're going to get ours from M&S and decorate it with flowers. You can get 3 tiers (I think it feeds about 60) for something like £50.

The Cake Booth is fantastic. They did our wedding cake and are doing my mother-in-laws cake on Saturday. Not only are their cakes beautiful, they taste absolutely divine (which in my opinion is just as important).
Talk to Louise, she's great!!

You can't argue with the M&S cakes. Taste really good and they're not expensive. Having seen the cost of some cakes this is by far the best value for money I've seen. You can buy them tomorrow if you want....

All you need to some decorations, we've got sugar butterflies from ebay to stick on. Should look fine and I intend to eat most of it anyway :hihi:

I went to the one at the hilton. The lady who is doing my hair and makeup was there so pleased about that, but other than that I wasn't particularly impressed. It was very small, I've been to better TBH.
My photographer has cancelled on me too. I thought I might find one there but they are just so expensive. x

I was going to but I've got tonsilitus :(

What were they like?We arrived just as the catwalk show had finished at the Hilton but all the 'models' were wandering around in the dresses so we still got to see them :) I liked seeing different styles on 'real' people rather than the supermodels in the catalogues.
It was smaller than the one we went to at Aston Hall - probably about 15 stalls with people trying to sell you stuff ranging from videographers, photographers, flowers, make-up, Hairstyling, Spa experiences, pretty chairs etc.
I got given a 'bride to be' sticker to wear which served at a giant bullseye target for everyone to come & pounce on me, fawning & fussing :gag:

The one at the Leopold was even smaller... although they were handing out very nice champagne and canapes ;) there were only a handfull of stalls there - one of which was Katie Peckett flowers (Eccy Rd) which I was interested in seeing because she has had lots of recommendadtions and is very contemporary.

All in all, I would have been disappointed if I had gone to a lot of effort to get there... they only warranted staying at each one for 20mins or so (although maybe thats just me)

Hi all, I'm thinking of making my own wedding cake to cut a bit more of the cost. I know you can get them cheap these days but as Iv only just started back at work and my partner has just gone back to work from being off sick with phnemonia, the savings aren't looking so good. So I thought of making my own cake! I'm not a bad baker but I have never even attempted it before. Any adbise is welcomed!

you can cut costs without having to be a master baker ........ most supermarkets (and M&S) sell plain white iced cakes in small, med and large, my friend bought 3, bought a stand off ebay, cake topper and ribbon, it looked fab and a 3 tier cost £60 ... and it looked lovely

hi there
just a bit of friendly advice :) you get what you pay for
please go and look at some work that the people you might be interested in have done , because what people SAY they can do and what they can ACTUALLY do , can be 2 different things
you don't want to be getting a cake you don't like , as this is a really important feature of your big day !!
many congratulations on your up coming wedding
