Just browsing at wedding cakes and M&S look as though they have some really nice wedding cakes and cupcakes much cheaper than what you would pay to have one made!

Anyone bought theirs from there??

Our wedding cake which is 3 tier with lots of detail is cheaper than the M and S ones although there are some nice cakes there

We are getting our 3 tier wedding cake (sponge) from M&S via our hotel's fixed price package. I ordered the smallest tier to try it as after asking our hotel who supplied the cake, where I could try some, dimensions etc she caved and told me it was bought in from M&S. I actually had 23 questions regarding the cake (which if she'd just have told me straight away instead of trying to dupe me that it was baked by a fabulous baker exclusivly for our wedding she'd have saved herself lol) oh and it was h2b that pointed out how many questions I actually asked lol.

I asked in M&S if the wedding sponge cake was the same as say the birthday cakes and was told it wasn't so just spent the £12.95 to get it. IT WAS AMAZING! Possibly the nicest I've tasted in some time. It was cheap and the decor won't cost much.

i did as i had a last min problem with my cake lady, it looked fab and tasted great i added my theme coloured ribbon and some fresh flowers on top and it looked lovely well worth the money. x

I want this m&s cake its £199 and serves 144 people looks yummy x

I liked this idea!

My sister did, and my mum decorated it. It was a victoria sponge and it was amazing.
I'm getting a chocolate three tier from M&S and we're decorating it with butterflies, flowers... and two daleks dressed as bride and groom. Hee.

Im seriously thinking of ordering mine from there and decorating myself! Love the dalek bride and groom!

I will let you know what its like in 4 weeks :) x

m&s cakes are delish realy good and excelent value a few of my freinds have had the sponge and the fruit and just bought their own ribbon ect i was going to do that but my caterer offered me a great deal so going with them but i hope it tastes as nice as the m&s one xxxx

just thought though they dont come in one piece do they so you need to stack them yourself which could be a nightmare lol my dad used to make cakes so id ask him to do mine. im thinking i should order me a taster cake now.......

yeah you do need to do the dowling and stacking yourself and im clumsy as anything so when the caterer offered us a good deal i thought id eave the hassle up to them xxx

we are having ours from there too!

The only bit of white at the wedding but hey lol can have fun decorating it

yeah the stands also look nice xxxx

Im sure it says on the website they provide the dowels?

i was thinking of getting a m&S cake. i like a few of them so not sure which one yet. x

Just had a look at the range, they look lovely and good value too. x

Layls you'll have to let us know how stacking goes - I want the m&s rose cake too... not sure if my venue will do the stacking but I'll just nip over in the morning if they dont. I'm as well doing it myself, then I only have myself to blame if I do it wrong lol x

I am having a sponge top tier and the strawberry cupcakes from M&S. My mum is paying for it and I can't wait to try them, they look lovely! And they are really affordable too. Going to buy a cake stand from ebay specifically for cupcakes with a top tier for £14 so not too pricey. x

Oh I'm glad you've mentioned dowels, I assumed they'd come with the cake! We're picking our three tier fruit cake up on Wednesday, so I'll let you all know how it goes.
We've had some flowers made and a plaque with our names for the top. I've bought some matching ribbon to attach around the edges, does anybody know where I'd get the pins to attach the ribbon?

thanks xx

Wow! I didn't even realise they did wedding things :P
The cakes look amazing! I've bookmarked the White Chocolate Rose cake - looks divine!
It doesn't say anything on the page about having to pay separately for the dowels though :S

"Each cake comes on its own cake board and should be stacked using the included dowel rods." <-- it implies they are included.

Maybe certain cakes have them and others don't?

Yes I noticed that part about the dowels aswel?

I didnt know they did cupcakes as well

I've been looking at a white chocolate one on the website, that they show decorated with blueberries... we're having a purple and cream theme and as it happens I love blueberries, so I think we'll go with that one!! It compares really well in price to others we've looked at too. At a recent wedding fayre nearly all the cake makers quoted £100 per tier.

I have just ordered mine from there as they are on special offer 3 for 2 and there are like 150 reviews saying how nice they taste. I have gone for the traditional wedding cake in extra large, large and medium and will just add some decoration myself. I ordered it to be picked up from store the day before the wedding :-)
Cost £63 i think so am well impressed :-)
