Fruit, so you can have it made well in advance. One less thing to worry about. Re: the profiteroles. Eldest had a tower of iced fairy cakes last year, well sprinlkled with sweets and cake decoration jewels. Went down well with the budding ballarinas and action lads alike. Didn't need a knife either! :o) |

For something Different I recently saw a Wedding Cake made out of Proffiteroles with Cream inside and Chocolate all the way down. It was like a Tower. very different and unusual. I love Proffiteroles. Regards Jackie |

Don't forget to make it Gluten free, just in case... and the top tier is best made from fruit and saved for the christening Rick lol |

CB, We had another problem too - first there was Maison Blanc just round the corner (right next to a superb deil - Gluttons), and then Mr Blanc compounded the problem by opening up a Petit Blanc brasserie just up the road ! Paul |

Paul, My Mum lived in the same street as the Chelsea branch - hence the addiction my son and I now suffer from! Jeff reckons it might be worth getting married just to have one of their cakes. LOL I think Daisy is now also a convert, after our visit there with Gaynor Bear. CB >|< |

ahhh Maison Blanc - I used to work just round the corner from the Oxford one, and I can vouch for the fact that everything they do is GORGEOUS. But also quite expensive lol |

Rick, I'll have you know I had my birthday dinner in Watford last Saturday - TGI Friday's, to be precise. No cake, but plenty of B52s and lots of balloons to take home afterwards. Mind you, I have it on very good authority that Watford's on another planet. A story for next time I see you. ;>) CB >|< X |

Sorry to disagree with everyone so far, but I'd go for one the classiest cakes around from www(.)maisonblanc(.)co(.)uk/weddings_home(.)html the finest in French boulangerie, patisserie & chocolaterie (Branches in Chelsea, Holland Park, Hampstead, Richmond, Guildford, Chichester & Oxford) or, as Paul suggested, something wonderfully gooey and hugely expensive from Choccywoccydoodah. Have we all got to go and buy confetti then, Rick? CB >|< |
