Dublin (Swords) based home-made quality hand-decorated cakes personalised for any occasion I'm a fully insured cake business based in Swords, Co Dublin and make cakes fresh to order from my HSE approved kitchen for all occasions - Birthdays, Anniversaries, Christenings, Communions, Confirmations, Weddings - you decide on the occasion that needs the cake!

Cakes start at 80 euro for an 8" round cake. After that, price depends on the size of the cake and the level of decoration required.

Each of my cakes is handmade from scratch using only quality ingredients. I put as much time and effort into ensuring the cakes taste as good as they look, as I do in decorating my cakes. Each cake is then iced and all decorations made by hand (unless notified in advance in special circumstances).  Everything is edible unless I notify you!

My cakes can be made in:
Vanilla sponge cake
Chocolate sponge cake
Zingy Lemon sponge cake
My most popular cake - rich chocolate biscuit cake (which can include Maltesers &/or Marshmallows &/or marsbar chunks)
Terry's Orange Chocolate Biscuit Cake
Baileys Chocolate Biscuit Cake  
Extremely chocolatey Chocolate Fudge Cake
Carrot cake


My fillings/coverings include:
Orange Buttercream
Rasberry Buttercream
Milk Chocolate Buttercream
White Chocolate Buttercream
Lemon Curd Buttercream
Creamy & Rich Nutella Buttercream
Madagascar Vanilla Bean Buttercream

White, Milk or Dark chocolate ganache

Each cake is then covered in fondant icing (if you require!) and decorated to suit the occasion

Please see my separate album/post on this page for my range of cupcakes and giant cupcakes.

My party cake servings are based on the standard ‘Party size’ portion which is 1.5”x2”x approx. 4” (the height of the cake).  This is slightly larger than the standard ‘wedding size’ portions so there will be plenty of cake per person.  If however, you are serving your cake as a desert and want a larger portion per person, you will need to order a larger cake.

Below is an approximate idea of the servings per cake size for a standard party cake. (As wedding cake portions are smaller than party cake portions, you will get more portions from a wedding cake. Please contact me for any wedding cake enquiries).

6" round cake - 12 servings approx
8" round cake - 20-25
10" round cake - 25-30
12" round cake - 40-45

7" square cake - 15-20
9" square cake - 25-30

Ideally, I need 7 days notice to have a cake ready for the date required.  However the earlier you contact me for a booking the better chance of confirming the date you require! If an order is to be cancelled, I would need at least 7 days notice due to the preparation work involved in having a cake ready and because I can only facilitate a small number of cakes per day/weekend, I regularly have to turn down orders - please bear this in mind if you change your mind!

I'm so sorry again to all the customers I've had to turn away for cakes lately (particularly this week!). I hate to turn anyone away but as I never take on more than i can give 100% to, I have to limit what I take on per week. I'm fully booked now up to the end of May with just a very small availability for the last weekend in May. Thanks again for keeping me so busy! ❤
