the mother in law is making a Wedding cake for someone so i am going to be the guini pig and will have to test the cake. First batch which will be delivered this weekend. a sponge cake with a thin layer of rasberry jame, covered in some sort of White chocolate and icing. cant wait

I've asked if I'm allowed exclusivity on the top tier. There's something quite satisfying about having a whole cake. It's a no because apparently there are... "other people at the wedding that might want cake!". Well who's stupid idea was it to invite a load of cake lovers!?

Looks good but the most important question is what is on the inside??

Well we're having a 3 tier version (which serves about 100 people, and we have 80 guests). That 4 tier one serves 120-130, but I don't see why we couldn't have got that one anyway?! Bottom one (big one) is fruit. Something to do with weight, plus most people want Fruit, middle is vanilla sponge, and top one (with the denied exclusivity) is chocolate.

Vanilla sponge sounds nice, as does the chocolate, Out of interest if you got the 4 tier one would top tear be a different flavour??

Forgot to eat lunch so I have had a peice of VS and Coconut cake instead

Havent haqd coconut cake for years!

No, I think that was set to be a 2nd Vanilla Sponge. Not sure though.

I've tasted a sample. It's very good cake.

I want vanilla sponge now! Do you think if I go to the shop they will give me a taster. I presume its in otley somewhere?

You could just buy a cake.

It is in Otley yeah, it's a cake shop that also does Wedding Cakes (meaning, it's not specifically a Wedding Cake Shop!) so you can just go in and buy cake if you wanted it.

It just so happens I have organised into my day tomorrow a trip to otley! I need some details of where to go.

You can't really miss it mate. It's on Westgate ([url=http://www.otleypatisserie.co.uk/wedding-cakes-yorkshire.htmlLink[/url). There's even a little Pay & Display opposite.

Tell her Remarkable Rhinos sent you!





Disclaimer... Don't actually tell her that. You'll look like an idiot. I've only ever been in the shop 3 times, and not only will she have no clue whatsoever who I am, I've never once referred to myself as RR.

Excellent I shall visit and pass verdict. It's cake so it's always good verdict!

To be fair, I think the majority of the "over the counter" stuff is more chocolate than cake. You've to ask/order the more hardcore stuff. They can't just hand cake like that out over the counter to anybody that just walks in. I'm sure you understand.

My least favourite has to be that coffee cake stuff.

That just means you don't like coffee mate.

No need whatsoever to disrespect the cake?!

I've never trusted myself to go into that shop as one of two things will happen...

1. I will buy all of their stock on display and my credit card will decline
2. I will be arrested for throwing myself into their chocolate melting machine and wallowing around in it like a hot tub

I'm the one who was once asked by a member of staff to go and sit down and let the kids have a go in a Pizza Express in Newcastle that had a Mr Whippy ice cream machine with a chocolate fountain next to it.

How extortionate!

You can probably get free cake when they put on free food at homeless shelters anyhow. However I’d have to say that my favourite cake is lemon cake from ASDA. Not too bad that one!

Its understandable cant just dish out cake to anyone. Got to know what you are doing!

I was thinking we should get rid of all the burger stall and stuff and just have cake stall instead - anyone for a Keith Senior tart? They could even do specials for the visiting team like a ginger version of lardy cake for Saints or Spotted Dick (yes I know it's a pudding) for Wigan.

Anyway chocolate guiness cake is the future ....

Never had any but Sounds nice.

Not got any cake in so I am having to eat McVities chocolate biscuits



Quite nice though

What sort? we are about to open some chocolate malted Milk biscuts to go with the Yorkshire tea cuppa.

Chocolate digestives

I am a fan of the chocolate Hob Nob
