Can I buy a birthday cake for DD online for £20 or near? Tescos doesn't seem to do them online??

Thats it really, all the others that are personalised are £50 plus and DD will be two so its not like she'll care. I need one for about twenty people and just want it to say happy birthday dd or happy second birthday dd. Other option is to get a big plain one (sainsburys? tescos?)and buy decorations. I can not bake to save my life so can't make one myself!

waitrose entertaining? (sorry can't make the link work)

Can you just get a supermarket one (M&S have loads) and personalise it with letter-shaped candles?

Thank you ChippyMinton but I forgot to say, XPs mum works there and got me the catalogue but again, the personalised ones were all over budget. Maybe I will have to get a plain one and buy letters to put her name etc on?

Megbusset actually candles are a good plan can I buy those at the supermarket too? Just looked again at the Waitrose one though and there are some cheaper ones. Not very child like but I don't know if that matters?

Tesco do quite a few if you go on their site

MegBusset · 09/09/2008 20:12

Look most common names here or I bet they can do whatever name you like if you email them!

yesco and sainsburys do fairly decent range in store of large ckaes for children - inc things like smarties caterpillers etc.

Actually I've just seen a gorgeous teddy one in Waitrose catalogue but it only serves 16, that would be more than enough for the children but I'd probably then need to get a cheaper non personalised chocolate or similar cake for the adults, what do you think?

If you get one with hard icing you can buy those icing oens to write on it.

If you get a squishy chocolate one you can 'write' with choc buttons or smarties. A better bet I think.

Thanks Megbusset, good link. And Slur and compo I though they did but couldn't for the life of me find them online for tescos. I'm a bit panicked about not getting it in time so may order from waitrose after all. What do we think for a two year old girl, fairy toadstool type thing or teddy?
