    Seems like a good idea to me! M&S cakes are delicious too!

    Me & mum made mine

    If you are worried about stacking - see about the venue lending you a cake stand - we had one like this

    http://www.deluxehire.co.uk/3-Tier-E-Cake-Stand

    Also - for the cake, we simply made 3 fruit tiers (As we wanted them completed before the wedding) and used ready to roll icing

    Decorations were ribbons (attcahed with pins with coloured tops) and for the bottom and middle layer we had fresh flowers and a personalised cake topper from ebay for the top of the cake.

    Here is a link to the photo

    When going for a M&S cake bear in mind the cake height is half of a professionally made cake so isn't a like for like comparison.

    I am a proffesional cake maker but also help DIY brides with their own. Servings wise my plain 10,8,6" sponge that serves 72 generous portion (148 skinny portions) is cheaper than the M&s option to get the same portions and delivered and set up. (You would need 2 of each sizes from M&S to get like for like servings)

    I could be seen as biased but genuinely commenting as a money saving tip. Check with your local baker first before assuming a supermarket will be cheaper.
