To ask where I can get the best supermarket celebration cake?

That is not a chocolate cake.

Looks great.

Tastes good for a supermarket cake.

Costs up to around £25

Thanks

I really like the Tesco red velvet cake - and it's only €3, here in Ireland. It's not huge, enough for 6 max, I think - but it's moist, and has a lovely flavour. Their white chocolate and strawberry is a close second - for the same price - a bargain! I add my own candles for birthdays etc., always goes down a treat :)

Costco is brilliant

Not Waitrose. Dry as a bone. M&S are okay.

M&S

I just got an Asda one where they put the photo on. Was nice. Raspberry jam

I prefer to put candles on an "ordinary" fancy supermarket cake. E.g lemon drizzle or red velvet cake. Or sometimes I get cup cakes or brownies and put candles on them.

You can get a lot of cake for £25 in a supermarket, if you don't buy a specific celebration cake.

My first choice would be M&S, second choice Waitrose. My reason is that other supermarkets are far too sweet.

The rainbow one from M&S, it was £15 and absolutely delicious 😋

Costco cakes are utterly revolting and the ingredients have to be seen to be believed.

The M&S rainbow cake looks good.

This one, they have them in shops too.

M&S every time -lots of non chic options

DH got me a Fiona Cairns cake from Waitrose for my birthday last month, and no one really liked it, it was largely uneaten
SIL had a costco cake for her sons 21st last year and I thought it was vile, artificial and sweet
but M&S usually good

Costco cakes are vile. Cheap and cheerful, do the job for guests who can't discern.
Otherwise M&S

Costco cakes are big but not great quality and horribly over sweet. We love Waitrose Neopolitan cake.

I hate cake, and I actually had a second slice of the M&S rainbow cake, so M&S for the win!

What fab value

Done!

This times several million. It's a crime to call a blousy chemical concoction a cake.

Marks and Spencer do the best cakes, Waitrose do the worse. Go to marks...they honestly the best!

After marks being the best, Waitrose cakes being awful..Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons are Kindy dry and in the middle...never been to Costco but suspect DD was given a piece of that creamy stuff at one party...one bite and it was binned.... Go to marks...they honestly the best....

My fav supermarket cake is the Sainsbury’s sweetie one. Was under a fiver before cost of living crisis, now probably £6 or so!

Marks and Spencer cake and then put some of their pretty mini sponge cakes or similar around it to make it go further.

Slightly above your budget at £30 but this cake is excellent, got the larger size for my daughter's birthday. Very tasty, light sponge and not too ridiculously sugary. Easy to decorate with a personalised cake topper or candles etc

Some Sainsbury’s sell patisserie Valerie cakes , would go for that if it’s an option.

Waitrose.
