Cake!
I think I am may become the queen of bargain hunting (or soon will anyway…).
I’ve made progress on wedding cake ideas. Most places charge hideous prices for custom flavoured layers and custom design weddings cakes that cost 300-1000 quid. Well that seems extreme for a cake lol. Recently Graham’s sister Karen gave us advice to spend money on the things we will remember most, and a magazine I also read included a quote from someone saying ‘think about the cost per minute’. In other words think about how much things cost in relation to how much time will be spent on the thing that day. A cake is good for photographs and (hopefully!) is very yummy when eaten, but generally will not gather a lot of the days attention. I found M&S do some gorgeous cakes which we then can add decorations to, but I’ve also checked out waitrose’s food service too. Graham and I have so far come to the conclusion that Waitrose offers us the sort of thing we are after and at a more stomachable (excuse the pun!) cost, which will let us spend more money on the important things…like ensuring everybody there has a cracking good day and things like the photography is fabulous.
