One of our Larger Wedding Cakes

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Cannaboe Confectionery created this tower of cakes for a recent wedding.

Each tier consisted of two cakes iced together.

Top two cakes in the first tier were 8″ maderias, second tier was also two 10″ maderias while the next was made up of two 12″ fruit cakes and the bottom two 14″ fruit cakes.

We decided to bring the cake in two parts because the bottom 2 tiers alone were very heavy.

We assembled the cake at the venue and added 60 handmade roses to finish it.

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

We are busy getting ready for Kilronan Castle Wedding Fair tomorrow.?

Going by last years, this wedding fair is usually very busy and with over 60 stands it should have everything the bride or groom would need under one roof.

There will be a fashion show with Catwalk Model Agency at 5pm.

We will have a display of a new selection of our wedding cakes and also some little tasters of carrot, chocolate and chocolate biscuit cake.

Looking forward to meeting you there.

Bailieboro Community School Visit

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

We just had 23 4th year LCVP students from Bailieboro Community School accompanied by their guidance counsellor, Christine McNamee, on a visit to our premises on a fact finding mission.

Our little showroom was packed to capcity.  The students had a list of questions about our business which I tried to answer for them.

I gave them a little of the sugarpaste to taste and they seemed to like it. I was finishing a handbag cake before they arrived so they got a look at that and I had a Bailieboro Community School jersey cake made for them as a surprise.

They had their own built in photographer, Glebe, who took lots of photos which I hope he will send on to me. They stayed about an hour and hopefully have enough information for their project.

Cupcakes, cupcakes & more cupcakes

Monday, January 18th, 2010

It seems the current trend for cupcakes as weddings is as strong as ever.   

After attending the Radisson Blue Sligo Wedding Fair yesterday Sunday 17th Jan 2010 I noticed that the trend for cupcakes is still there and even on the increase.  We have a huge amount of interest in our stand and with the volume of couples at the fair it was hard to give everyone the time they needed.

I directed most of the bride and grooms to our website which I hope is helpful to them.

Thanks to everyone stopped and chatted, hopefully we will talk again in the near future.  Thanks also everyone who booked on the day and will receive a 10% discount off their wedding cake.

Our next wedding fair is in Kilronan Castle on Sunday 28th February next.
