It's that time of year again, folks! Wedding season is right around the corner, and we all know what that means - expensive planning. From the venue to the food and drinks, the dress and suit, and even the invitations, the costs can add up quickly. But fear not, there are plenty of ways to save money and still have a beautiful celebration if that's what you desire.
Some brides opt for second-hand wedding dresses or outfits from the high street. Others may choose a more low-key town hall wedding instead of a lavish hotel or manor house. And now, instead of spending hundreds of pounds on a cake, you can get a beautiful two-tier one from a popular supermarket for under £50. Yes, you read that right.
Marks & Spencer, everyone's favorite high street staple, is now offering celebration cakes that are up to ten times cheaper than the average wedding cake. These cakes can be ordered online and may not be specifically labeled as wedding cakes, but they are certainly a great choice for budget-conscious brides and grooms.
There are a couple of options to choose from, including a two-tier vanilla naked cake that serves 36 people and costs only £45. The cake comes in two separate tiers that you can assemble yourself, and it's also left "blank" so you can add your own decorations like edible flowers, berries, or macarons. And with over 750 five-star reviews, it's safe to say that this vanilla cake is a crowd-pleaser.
According to the product description, this cake is the perfect blank canvas for any special occasion. Its light and fluffy madeira sponge is generously filled and lightly masked with vanilla buttercream, creating a simple yet elegant look. One satisfied customer, Nannyto2, even used this cake as her wedding cake and highly recommends it for any celebration.
But if vanilla isn't your thing, don't worry - there's also a delicious chocolate version for the same price. This one features a rich chocolate sponge and luxurious chocolate buttercream filling. M&S suggests decorating it with your favorite crunched-up chocolate bars and biscuits or even sparklers for a simple yet stunning cake topper.
Although the chocolate version doesn't have quite as many reviews as the vanilla, those who have bought it describe it as "delicious" and "stunning." And why shouldn't they? With M&S recently being named the nation's favorite supermarket for online shopping, it's no surprise that their cakes are a hit as well. In fact, they reportedly receive over four million searches per month and have seen an 8% increase in online visibility.
It's no wonder M&S is so popular, as they were also recently named the best overall supermarket in the UK for their innovative and delicious food. So, would you consider a supermarket wedding cake for your big day? Let us know in the comments.
