I hope that my child, looking back on today

Because children grow up while you're not looking,
There are years ahead for cleaning and cooking.
So, quiet now cobwebs go to sleep.

I haven't got pics as my aunties made my cake, but I have also seen some gorgeous iced cakes in sainsburys, all different sizes again.

MIght be worth buying the smallest of each over christmas and doing a taste test?

this was our cake from m and s i wasnt too bothered about cake as i dont like it but i knew we had to do it for others and for the sake of cutting the cake so i got this from there it only cost us £55.00 and then i brought my porcelin cake topper off ebay for £25.00 and got my florist to put the roses around it and the table. Unfortually though for my guests the cake was given out as when the hotel guys went to cut it they found it was not cooked inside, i was not bothered by this really but some may of been, my matron of honour took the cake back un be known to me as we were on our honey moon and she got my money back and we got £100 in vouches to spend there so i didnt do bad out of it aftr all, however it is rare these things happen with their cakes so dont let my experience put you off if you are thinkning of having one from there they are beautiful looking cakes i just got a dud one

Have seen the M&S cakes a few times and they look fab!

Lauz, have chocolate instead - go on - you know you want to.

I was told by m and s you got to be careful which cake you have i went for the fruit cake although i hate fruit full stop, but i did this because i was having it on the four post tiers which we brought seperate and my cake topper was heavey and they said a fruit cake was able to make more weight than the choc sponge ones, so watch out for this

One of my mates had the choc fountain instead of a cake it is a hot fountain that drips choclate and you have strawberrys or marsh mellows to dip in it for the guests, i saw one also at a wedding fair it looked amazing and smelt great but my friend said it got a bit messy and you had to watch it if you had kidsat your wedding but it looked fab
