Can't order food from M and S between Xmas and New Year!

[topsi]

Had just picked out a chocolate dinosaur cake for DS who will be 4 on Jan 1st and found that M&S don't let you order cakes between Xmas and new year! Dear Lord!!! What do I do now? I could try and make one, any one got any good ideas for a cake that looks like this?

whereabouts in the country are you as there's a few MN-ers who are cake makers and poss one of us can help you out
you can buy dinosaur cake moulds online try ebay,amazon or cakescookiesandcraftshop.co.uk

am in the south east, will check out the cake moulds on line, thank you

Could you order now, collect and then freeze until required?

could you freeze and defrost an iced cake?

Are you in the south east as in London?

If so i cannot recommend this bakers enough!

We went to the Sydenham branch for my son's first - fab!

I suppose it really depends what the icing is made of. However, in our local supermarket, all the ingredients labels have on them in very small print that they are not to be refrozen, so they must have all been frozen and then defrosted to be put on sale.

Waitrose have a dinosaur cake - you could ask them whether they would make one for you!

oo thanks I never saw that one on their web site, I will give them a call
