M&S Wedding Cakes... When to order?

We had our cake from M&S too. I left it a little late as the cake was delivered to the branch close to our venue the day before the wedding! I'd advise you to look at ordering say 7/10 days before the wedding, you'll be given a choice of delivery dates.

Before ordering the real thing I ordered a tester pack and I had terrible problems actually getting this delivered to my local store. M&S were very good and gave me a refund and £25 credit but due to this I'd say perhaps leave yourself a day or too just in case the worst happens and there is a delay. We didn't have any problems with the actual cakes being delivered but the problems with the tester pack did make me nervous!

I spoke to a lady in the ordering department last weekend and she said you can order up to 3 months in advance! You can do it as late as 21 days but I wouldn't bother waiting. We are getting married 20 April and will probably order ours in February just so I can tick it off the list.

Yes ours is the week before you! So we can order it ages in advance?! That's what I wanted to hear. Brilliant. I guess we have to go to an ordering department then rather than buying it online? I'm going to buy a small one now to try it, although i'm sure it'll be fine based on what i've heard!
