Thanks everyone for your kind words, I showed them the pics tonight, and they were pleased with it. I have made it for their wedding present, and they won't see it properly until they arrive at the reception, as I am going to be taking it to set up the morning of the wedding.
I have sometimes thought of doing cakes professionally, but with all the rules and regs, and needing a steady income to pay the mortgage, it doesn't seem viable.
I sometimes take orders by word of mouth if anyone asks, but it depends on the time of year, as some times are more busy with school work than others. This one was very convenient as I made the cakes at Easter, and had the summer to do the flowers
I understand why prices for this sort of thing are so high though. The materials cost in the region of £70 (supermarket and specialist cake decorating shop), before any time is taken into consideration.
