Wedding Cake Help!!

Sally22_2

Hey there, its my friends wedding on Friday and I am in charge of the cake! I have got everything sorted but I need a plain 8" round iced fruit cake and I have left it a bit late to get sorted (as I have been busy making the rest of the cakes/cupcakes, and oranising the bride, I am also the Maid of Honor) and am worrying now!!

Do any supermarkets sell plain iced fruit cakes in this size, I have looked on M&S website and it says ready in 7 days which is obviously too late! But would they have one ready in store?

Im in the Brighton area, willing to travel to a big supermarket if its guarranteed in stock! Ada/Sainsburys/Tesco/Waitrose/M&S I would just drive to all the big supermarkets but dont have time!

Thankyou, Sally

(Thankyou in advance for any replies, I will read replies later as I have to go get mine and the brides nails/pedicure done now and then we are getting our eyelashes done and then I have night college, manic manic manic week!!)

I've seen these in M&S, Sainsburys & Tesco's so don't panic - you should be able to buy one quite easily!

In Horsham a bit of a drive but Tesco always have them in stock as does Marks and spencers in the town.... Good luck

they always have them in our tescos and its not a massive superstore one, i would think they are usually in stock at asdas and M&S too

Thanks for the replies, just got a spare minute to check in here again finally!

Good to know they should have them in stock, I guess I just paniced when I saw the M&S website saying 7 days. Will pop to the one in Brighton tomorrow as Im going there anyway, if no joy then Ill pop to the huge Tesco/M&S in Shoreham or Asda in Hollingbury!

Thanks again, you have all put my mind at rest and I can sleep well tonight!!

Bit late to the party, but in case the supermarkets can't help you out, try finding your nearest cake decorating shop, they usually sell fruit cakes to decorate.
Hope it goes well!

I got one in M&S in the end! Thankyou xx
