Best supermarket cake for a party

I normally make my own but I'm feeling exhausted. I cannot afford a professional bakery cake. My niece, her husband and their families are coming to my place for the first time after their wedding. I wanted them to cut a cake!
Any ideas? TIA

Waitrose cakes are good.

Cook cakes are lovely - the carrot cake doesn’t look like much but tastes incredible

I prefer the Waitrose Fiona Cairns ones. Patisserie Valerie also do some for delivery which, whilst not a supermarket, are a nice middle ground to a fancy bakery.

Thank you everyone. It's for this Sat. I really wanted a big M&S one but they only do online orders a day the system is still down.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I really appreciate it.

Not the M&S rainbow cake - far, far too sickly sweet. Awful!
