FLAVOURS
What kind of flavours do you offer?
The selection of cake flavours I had at the show was a small sampling of my best sellers for wedding cakes, but the possibilities are limitless. If you have some particular flavours you really love, we can work together to create something that’s perfectly delicious for you and your guests. Best thing about a tiered wedding cake is that you can have as many different flavours as you have tiers.

CAKE DESIGN
What are my options for cake design?
A cake design can be as simple or as complex as you wish. You can choose from any of my previous designs or we can design something from scratch. Click here for my design gallery: https://gabibakescakes.com/cake-gallery/

CAKE SIZE AND SLICES
How much cake will I need for everyone?
I calculate my servings based on 1”x1” cake slices and the height of the cake (average 5”), as this portion seems to be the perfect amount for a little treat at the end of the night. Of course, guests are welcome to seconds, too. I have the servings listed below next to each cake size.

MIXED DESSERT TABLES

If you’d rather have a dessert table with a little bit of everything, we offer a number of additional treats, as listed below. Please note: These are base prices; you can add as much or little decoration to fit your day and prices will be adjusted accordingly.
Additional Desserts

Wedding favours
Do you make edible wedding favours?
Most of the treats above work well as wedding favours too. For instance, shortbread biscuits can have a message embossed on them, like the names of the bride and groom or the date of the wedding.
Macarons, chocolate brownies, cake pops and shortbread can be individually wrapped and tied with ribbon for an extra €1.50 per item.
BOOKING
When should I book my cake and how does it work?
It is best to book as soon as you have decided you would like a Gabi Bakes Cakes wedding cake, even if we haven’t worked out every design detail. I only take a limited amount of orders each day, so that I can give full attention to each of my client’s creations. Certain times of the year tend to be busier than others for weddings, so the sooner you are in my calendar, the better.
I take bookings from one month to one year in advance. Your date is secured with a 50% deposit. If your wedding is more than a year out, but you know I am the right cake designer for you, you can still save your date with a €50 (non-refundable, non-transferable) deposit, and we can confirm all the details closer to the time.
DELIVERY AND SET-UP
Where do you deliver to and how much does it cost?
I deliver all over Kerry, Cork, Limerick and further afield for special orders. Delivery is free for orders worth €240 or more from Killorglin to areas between and up to Killarney, Tralee, Glenbeigh and Inch. Delivery to Listowel, Dingle, Sneem or Kenmare is €60 and to Limerick and Cork is €180.
Setup is typically free unless there are special requirements or requests, which we can discuss in more detail.
ORDERING
How do I order my wedding cake?
Orders can be started as conversations via phone, Facebook messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram and, of course, in person. Once you are happy with all of the details, I will write out a descriptive invoice with all of the order items, delivery and dates that I will send via email. We can both use this to ensure that we are happy with the previous conversations and I haven’t missed anything. Changes can of course be made, where possible, depending on the design and amount of notice given.
PAYMENT
How does payment work for my cake?
To secure your date I accept a 50% deposit, which can be paid via bank transfer, online via PayPal, cash or cheque. The final 50% I take up to two weeks before your wedding date. I will send a reminder, as I know you have a lot going on running up to the day.
