Wedding Cakes
Wedding cakes are works of art, both inside and out. They're also a costly business. When I was getting married we looked into the cost and was surprised at some of the prices.
For a professionally made cake, the prices start at around £300. Ouch! This section is intended to give you some ideas and tips for lowering your cake costs, information on how to make your own cake including pitfalls, things to look out and tricks to reduce your costs. There's also a guide to the best cheap cakes on the high street.
  
If you're up for making your own, there are some tried and tested recipes with English measurements, from Britain's famous chefs, with recipes including traditional fruit cakes, chocolate cake and choux pastry buns. For those wanting a more simple budget option, you could try making cupcakes instead.
