Cannaboe Strawberry Rose Cupcakes

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

We added a new flavour to our selection of cupcakes. These are our strawberry rose cupcakes.

They are pink inside with a strawberry flavour.

Great idea for a unique christening gift or to bring to a summer evenings bbq.

Other flavours are chocolate, carrot, vanilla, coffee and lemon.

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.

Kilronan Castle Wedding Fair 28th February 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.

Ivory & chocolate brown wedding cake

Originally uploaded by cacamilis

This cake has had the most views since we started putting up our cakes on Flickr.
It is made using 3 tiers of cake which can consist of chocolate with a chocolate buttercream filling, lemon maderia with a vanilla buttercream, carrot with a cream cheese filling or traditional fruit cake.
The cake is covered with an ivory sugarpaste and then stacked and piped. The ribbon is a chocolate brown and the flowers are made with chocolate paste which we make ourselves.

The colour can be changed to suit the wedding colours.

It is one of our classic cakes.

Topsy Turvy Wedding Cake

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

We made this wedding cake for Alma and Steve recently.

Each tier was made using two cakes which were put together and carved into the tapered shape.  They were then iced as one cake with ivory sugarpaste. 

Alma’s bridesmaids were beautiful in their 50′s style blue dresses so we coloured some sugarpaste the same colour and iced the board to bring it into the cake.  The balls were made with different coloured sugarpaste which were rolled in an edible lustre dust.

The wedding was in the Landmark Hotel in Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim and a very good weekend was had by all!
