Booths are fantastic as are Fortnum and Mason's. It depends on what type (with/out alcohol, rich, nuts) and budget.

Off the grid

I just want to steal the marzipan. And maybe a bit of icing if it's proper "need a chisel to get into" Royal icing and not that fondant rubbish.

You can keep the cake.

My Nan makes one for all her grandchildren every year. Still doing it at the age of 87 and you can't beat them.

From a shop though, Marks and Spencer or Waitrose.

Yes we use M & S as their cakes are great, we get the slap cakes that are iced for wedding cake tiers etc.

I think you get 18 portions & it cost about £16, we have to order it from their books (pick up from shop) as they are not sold instore.
