Hi, I'm getting married on Saturday and have just gone to pick up my cake, and am a bit gutted as it's not what I wanted. A friend from work has made it for me, and whilst it's OK mostly, there are a couple of issues I have. The main one is it is nowhere near big enough to feed our 90 guests (its an 8", 6" and 4" round tiered cake). The other issues are that it's a bit wonky, and as there is buttercream inside I'm worried it will slip further. One tier is much deeper than another, and in general it looks very home made. I don't think I could actually replace it, as whilst the person who made it can't come to the wedding, other people from work are so she will see photos. She is so lovely, and has given it me for nothing so I'm feeling torn about what to do.
I need to buy an extra cake, at least for cutting up, or maybe to put underneath the others and make a 4 tier cake. I just looked at waitrose and m&s online and they both need more notice to ordr anything than I have got (less than 48 hours!) HELP!!!! What should I do? The florist is making a cake topper with gerberas on, plus I am having trailing orchids in my bouquet so could maybe put those around the most wonky tier. Other than that I'm stuck!
Thanks for reading,

PS: I live on the Stockport / Manchester border if anyone knows of a good cakemaker that does last minute jobs...
