Is it wrong to buy a shop birthday cake?

I was looking in tesco yesterday and they were really cute but the sell by date was mid October so I was thinking they must be full of crappy preservatives.

Then I seen Clare's cake and read that Mandy made her own so was thinking maybe I need to get my arse into gear and make one.

Any tips??

Lol Clare I love your honesty.

I've tried to bake a few times and failed as my cakes are usually rubbery and very heavy but I think if I follow a recipe out of one of my 3000 baking books it might work.

It isn't going to be a great creation I'm just thinking round with icing Smile

You can buy premade cakes with plain icing, then you just decorate :-)

Must admit made a lot of cakes out of boxes and always lovely

I love making cakes! You could just make a plain or chocolate sponge then buy buttercream frosting and decorate with sweets or supermarkets sell little decorations. Doesn't have to be fancy Smile
