We are heading to our first wedding fair of the Autumn in the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa in Sligo.
It will take place on Sunday 12th September from 2pm to 6pm.
For more information contace Denise at the Radisson Blu.
Hope to see you there.
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.
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.
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.
There are a few wedding fairs coming up in the near future. Hopefully you will find all the services you have been looking for in one place.

Cannaboe Confectionery will be attending two wedding fairs this month.
The first is Sunday 6th September 2009 at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa in Rosses Point in Sligo. This wedding fair is from 2pm – 6pm.
The following weekend on Sunday 13th September 2009 the Lough Rynn Castle Wedding Fair takes place and is also from 2pm – 6pm.
We are looking forward to both wedding fairs where we will enjoy meeting the couples and catching up with all the other suppliers after a busy summer. Did I say summer!!
We made these mini bite size cupcakes for Niamh and Clive’s wedding recently. They were for their guests to enjoy at the drinks reception before the meal in Lough Rynn Castle.
The cupcakes were chocolate with a chocolate buttercream topping and lemon with a light pink and cream vanilla buttercream.
We set them up on our cupcake stand with little shot glasses holding each plate up.
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.
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!
