Delicious but sweaty

Yes, I recommend this

Very delicious cake and great service from M +S but due to the heat and rapid defrost in transport to store the cake was very sweaty and this could not be rectified without damaging the icing.

Golden Wedding let down

Yes, I recommend this

We ordered the double cake with the second tier. The top tier should never have been sent out as it was very crooked but had clearly happened in production the way the icing covered it. It was to be the center piece at our golden wedding celebration. We were able to use the two large single tiers we bought which, to be fair, we're really nice and we got a full refund on the two tier cake, but this should never have happened.

Delicious though very lemony

Yes, I recommend this

I know it's a lemon cake. Found lemon a bit overpowering at first so preferred eating without the buttercream. Interestingly the cake tasted more delicious the next day.

No more than OK

No, I don't recommend this

Not as good as M&S lemon drizzle cake! It was good sponge but my expectation was that it would be a version of the latter and it wasn’t. The cream was also OK but nothing more. It didn’t taste like the authentic lemon flavour of lemon drizzle cake.
