M&S wedding cakes

My friend had one of the M&S chocolate ones (the brown icing, not the ivory) and it was delicious. I've never heard anything but good things about them.

I'm having an M&S cake! We are getting 3 different sizes of plain white and my friend is putting them together and decorating them. Like you i couldn't justify spending a lot of money on a cake that would probably get left anyway. I've also only heard good reports about them.

I'm thinking about getting one from M&S too. I too have only heard good things about them, and the wedding co-ordinator at our venue told me they are the best!

All sounds positive so far!

A colleague has just told me she had one at her wedding and it went down very well. I'm definitely considering it now.

We are having M&S too and they have just released some new styles (although gotten rid of one). Also - if you need to sign up for any life assurance policies etc or sky or you know anyone getting sky you can always get free M&S vouchers!!! We are currently on £40 and have recommended a friend to sky so should get another £70 odd to share.

A friend of mine went to a wedding on the weekend and for their wedding cake they made home made brownies and put them in a wedding cake shape and decorated with white flowers, thought that sounded like a lovely budget option worth sharing x

I was going to have an m & s cake the ivory iced roses chocolate cake. I took a picture of it to a local bakers and they are doing it for 120 pound which is a saving of 80 pounds. so do shop around! xx

We had an M&S cake, it was lovely, we were both really pleased with it and everyone seemed to eat it up quickly enough!. Here's a piccy for you (sorry, prob not the best photo)

I was going to have an M&S Cake, but found Jules.40 on here made fantastic cakes, and were incredibly good value - I was stunned!

If you live in the north west, definitely give her a shout......hope she's still about, not been on here in ages now I'm an old married ?

I just ordered the ivory/white chocolate rose cake! I think these look great! Only thing worrying me is it coming in 3 tiers and then having to stack it myself. I asked my venue if they could do it, but they said no because of liability...has anyone had any trouble stacking theirs? Did you use the dowling rods they recommend???

M&S food is amazing! so I would definately have gone for one of their cakes if I was having a wedding cake. Wedding cake prices are extortionate so I would definately go for one that is going to get eaten and if it looks good to even better!

A flash would be nice of the one you are thinking of having... any excuse to look at cake! ?

There's a video on the website that shows you how to do it, it looks fairly straight forward!

tried to post a piccy, but not sure if I've done it right! here's the link to the whole description on their website anyway...

I ordered the white chocolate version with chocolate inside!!!

Yeah I watched the video...and yeah it doesn't look too hard...and I LOVE the cake so that's why I thought I'll just go for it. But professionals make it look so easy and I'm just terrified of messing it up! So just looking for some tips and/or reassurance!!! x

We had an M&S wedding cake and it was absolutely delicious. The sponge was very moist and homemade-tasting and it looked fab overall, we were very pleased

Mmmm, hope mine is the same then! I've heard a lot of good things about them...just worried about it staying upright! Did you have the tiers one on top of the other, or on a 3 tiered stand???

Figured out the URL! Yay!
