Decided to have a look at wedding cakes again, ok I know the stye I want and the topper I want but I need someone who makes them. Need some quotes and recommendations. We were going to have a friend of my folks do it but were unable to get hold of her or something. Anyways My mum was saying that a few people have recommended Marks and Spencers. I had a look at their website and to be honest they aren't to badly priced. The cake in the picture is one they do but it comes with out the flowers which is fine with me as I want the butterfly topper we like.

Heres the write up -
From £179.00 - £199.00Serves 144
This sophisticated cake is covered in marzipan and soft icing. Available as a three tiered cake in either chocolate, fruit or all-butter sponge, or as a combination and as a set of six minis. (Flowers not included) Optional - you may choose to stack your Romantic Pearl Three Tier Cake using pillars and dowel rods or polystyrene blocks (not shown). Buy these in store.


If we have one from Marks and Spencers we would probably go with White Assorted Cake
£199.00 Serves 144
which I would have thought would be fine, can freeze the fruit cake for our aniversory and serve the all butter sponge and chocolate to the guests.
Ok there has been some development and I'm not sure if were going to have the wedding I wanted or not or whether where just going to have it at a later date.

Here's the thing we have recently been approved a loan with a houseing scheme and approved a mortgage and also found a house we like and the seller has accepted our offer as long as his offer for a house he wants is accepted. So at the moment we are waiting in limbo to see what is going to happen. As you can imagin it's going to cost a lot what in solicitor fees etc. This is the main reason I haven't been updating here as often. I have been buisy sorting all this out.

My folks are giving us money to go towards either the house or wedding and I was hoping the wedding would only cost half of what my folks are giving us so the rest could go towards a house. but unfortunantly the wedding is beginning to cost more than I thought it would and Then there's the house buisness, we are going to need the total of what we have been given for the house buying fees. despite haveing a little saveings I don't think we will be able to do both.

Anyway until our mind is made up on what we are going to do and we have confirmation the house is ours I'm going to continue with my wedding planning. And also I will probably continue even if we get the house even if wedding plans change.
