choccy woccy doo dah cake

[nickiey]

Anyone had one? how much do they cost? does anyone know someone who could do a copy? etc etc

TIA

ooooh, with solid custard and cream and that lovely icing with the chocolate that has been flicked into a pattern......

twiggy describe wedding cake please

sorry ... we got married in Florence so had rather an Italian feast for our wedding .. we didn't actually choose the cake nor some of the little extras like a huge parmesan and strong wine on reception (we did choose the menu though)

it was just a creamy, delicate 1 layer cake with 2 strawberries placed as intertwining hearts on the top and rounded off the 5 course meal perfectly

(can't stand rich fruit cakes personally)

with sweet flaky pastry in between the creamy deliciousness (kind of a cake / pudding thing)

the sponge is good, but the choc has a v waxy texture. it is trated so taht it doesnt melt, i think.

they are v over priced, imo.

Twiglett - was it in some kind of palazzo overlooking florence and at the top of some really steep mountain roads (steep if you're on a 60pax coach anyway!)

I had choccywoccydoodah cakesfor my dt's christening - they put pink and white marshmallows and lollipops on dd's white chocolate cake, and blue and white marshmallows/lollipops on ds's. I froze half of it, and it still tasted good 12m+ later. I agree the chocolate was a bit "waxy", but the sponge was fab. They looked amazing.

no escape .. we got married in the town hall itself and took over a wonderful restaurant just off the main square .. it was lovely

I had one!! 600 quid and that was just for a smallish one. It was the most amazing cake i had and ever will see and people were still talking about it years after the wedding.

amazing and worth the money.

We had to transport THREE choccywoccydodah cakes from central London to the Lakes for a friend's wedding. Got it there fine (including 3 days overnight at my mums) and they dropped one carrying it into the venue

It was fine.
Our chocolate one (made by local cakemaker) was nicer, imho...

my father in law had to drive all the way to brighton to pick it up.

this was seven years ago. What an amazing cake. We had to go for a 'taste test' before buying.

It was dark chocolate all over and we specifically asked for OTT covering (cherubs, flowers, leaves... everything)

I had one for my 21st. Looked stunning but tasted quite dry. Great talking point but not great taste.

I got one for dd1's 4th b'day and for DH's 40th. They cost me about £30-£40 and dds was especially wicked, it had 30 lollipops in the top for everyone at her party!!

Dh didn't get lollipops on his.. lol

I should add, since I had my cake years ago my brother got married. He and his wife got a local chocolate shop to make up a white chocolate cake and then put real flowers on it. It was simple and stunning and the cake tasted lovely, perhaps a bit better than mine. Theirs was lighter and a bit more chocolatey. I think maybe their cake didn't need to be as heavy as it wasn't supporting so much chocolate decoration.

my friend had rodin's 'the kiss' from this lot. i think it was a reject so she got it super cheap and we all had a right laugh at it.
