Celebration Cakes - where do *you* get them from?

[leckershell]

Just being curious really - babies or otherwise, where do you get your celebration cakes from? Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings.. etc You can only pick 2 options maximum...

I just ordered Ryan's to be custom made at a cake making shop

I would either try and bake it myself or depending on how I wanted it decorated I'd get it from a specialised cake shop.

supermarket

I did check out Asda to be fair, but they only had a barbie one or a "cars" one, and that would just mess up my theme entirely

I wouldn't usually be a snob.. lol x

I either make them myself, or for Arianna as she is more special than anyone else I get it from a professional cake maker

Stanley had a Teletubbies one from a specialist cake shop for his 1st but someone else paid

I would make it myself but then I have just befriended a man in the cake shop near where I work so I might go talk to him if I need something really special even though he admitted yesterday he hates making cakes even though its his job LOL!

I voted make myself and buy from a supermarket although maybe I should have put other as I'd get them from m & s rather than supermarket?.

It usually depends how much time I have before the birthday/occasion as I work full time. For my husbands 30th birthday I made him a bass guitar & amp chocolate cake but usually would get them from m & s, I really hope once I'm a Mum that I have more time to make cakes but as I'm likely to have to go back to work full time that's probably not gonna happen.

I made Brody's 1st birthday cake myself but would have probably had one made if we weren't skint at the time

We get ours from a local cake shop - http://www.celebrationstations.co.uk/ - they are absolutely fantastic. We don't use them for every birthday but they are soo worth splashing out on for a special birthday. Here are a few they've made for us...

My 21st (I'd just come back from working in Canada and had a thing for mountie uniforms )

My mum's 50th (she keeps chopping the hedge trimmer cable in half)

My uncle's 60th (all the things he likes on one cake)
