Supermarket wedding cake! any ideas?

No supermarket suggestions Im afraid because I never buy stuff like that, would prefer to make it, do you hve any friends or rellies that could rustle you something up? Pavlovas are pretty easy to do so surely you could find someon to make you one? You can buy the meringues made or they are not difficult to make either, jamie oliver has a fab recipe

We are getting ours from M&S - they have a pretty good range on the website xx

WSS - M&S cakes look good x

I am all about the cake so will not be of any help whatsoever - the cake is the thing I look forward to seeing most at a wedding, after the bride's dress of course ?

But I believe Waitrose do some wonderful wedding cakes.

Hi Naboo. I know what you mean but my cake baking skills are pretty pants to be honest. i am capable of making a Pavlova but my problem is preparing it freshly on the day and getting it to the venue. All my guests are from far afield and won't be arriving until the afternoon of the wedding and are staying in a Hotel (so no access to a kitchen) - it's a 5.15 ceremony. So, feeling slightly scuppered. Thankyou for your ideas though. I could make the pavlova myself and leave it to OH to decorate (he will be staying at our home), just not sure what the end result would look like?

We got ours from M&S, 3 tiers, plain sponge for £75.

Waitrose do cakes but they are a bit more expensive.

If you don't mind fruit cake, Tesco and ASDA both do them.

WTS. M&S do lovely wedding cakes (that taste good too!) for very reasonable prices.

Ah, sounds like that could be difficult then! Do you have like a wedding planner type at the hotel? could you give them all the component parts and ask them to assemble? Although a supermarket cake sounds like much less hassle tbh!! where abouts are you from? local hitchers might be able to suggest local bakerys that will do a reasonable cake too!?!

The wedding is on board a ship in Portsmouth. I could possibly ask the caterers but unsure as to whether they would cooperate! However if anyone is aware of a Baker who would maybe do the Pavlova (as that is my real preferance cake wise) I would be very grateful to know. Thanks Naboo.

I went to a wedding wher there was a tesco wedding cake, and I thought it tasted great. I don't have fancy tastes in food though, I like things quite plain so I might not be the best judge. I looked at M&S cakes myself and I thought they were a bit large for what I wanted.
