M&S Wedding cakes

Have a look on here https://www.marksandspencer.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/marksandspencer?mnSBrand=core but looking at this they have a 3 for 2 offer on so maybe order soon or check with them how long it will be on for.

Thanks

A few of the brides on here are having / have had M&S cakes so hopefully more advice will be along soon! I've looked at them a few times on the website & you can order online so could do that from Dubai. You do have to collect in person from a store & take to your venue. Depending on which type you buy - you might have to assemble using cake dowels - it should say in the product description about this. If you do have to assemble it - your caterers / venue may be able to help with this.

Hope that helps! And welcome to Hitched!

Hi

A friend of mine ordered an M&S cake last year but she said it came undecorated. She's not online to confirm so you may want to double check this

Yes you can get them plain or pay more for a bit of decoration. My friend had them at her wedding and they were yummy so we are going to do the same and just dcorate with fresh flowers.

There have several different types of wedding cake - see internet or M&S food brochure. You can order them quite far in advance and arrange for them to be delivered to a store and date convenient for you. However I've been told (I know someone who works on the M&S food ordering desk) to order one to come in a 2-3 days before you need it as then if it's damaged in transport etc, they can get another one in. You can buy dowells and pillars from shop floor, however if that is too scary a prospect (I'm worried mine will topple!) you can hire cake stands in all shapes and sizes. I think it's only about £10 to hire, but you normally have to pay a deposit of approx £50, but you get that back when you return the stand.

I've also been told that a wedding co-ordinator of a well known stately home (think Prem footballers as wedding party) ordered her wedding cake from M&S as she said theirs are just as good as any other wedding cake!

I have just ordered mine, the brochure said 28 days, I may even have the brochure around the flat if you need any other info I can hunt it down

The lady in the shop has ordered mine in for the Thurs before the wedding so if any disasters I will have enough time to replace etc.

And I think the 3 for 2 offer ends towards the end of August.

I have ordered 3 tiers, extra large in fruit and large and medium in sponge with ivory icing, it has a small bit of decoration on it, so it is not too plain but plain enough for you to add your own accessories etc. Altogether I think it was about £75.00

Looks like your original Q has been answered, but just to say - good choice! I had an M&S cake and it was lush!

The offer finishes on the 30 September.
