BarbaraJ Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 My sons gf has decided to throw my son a 21st party and has asked if i would make some cakes. Now i make a mean small cake but don't do so well at large cakes. Don't know why and it frustrates me but i want to ice an uniced fruit cake to match cupcakes. I've looked online but only found a 7'' for 14.99 anf 6.95 p&p but really wanted bigger 8-10'' Anyone buy one before? or know anyone makes a good one?

Lewis Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Silly question because I don't know if you can ... Could you make 2 small cakes and put them together so you wouldn't know when they're iced? Not sure where to get one from though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lydia Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 If you have a sugarcraft shop near you they might sell uniced fruit cakes. I know my local one does and they might send you one by mail order - http://www.need-a-cake.co.uk/. Worth ringing and asking. I googled and some of these might be able to help - http://www.cooks-weddingcakes.com/hertfordshirecakes.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try Meg Rivers - it's local to me but they do mail order and seem to get good reviews. http://www.megrivers.co.uk/ You could probably phone them to ask for something not on their list.
