Wedding Cakes Booking: Booking of your wedding cake can be made several months in advance to your wedding. We have a limit to the amount of cakes that we can make in any given week, so we do recommend that you book early. Full details of design and colour scheme do not necessary need to be known when booking your wedding cake. Design: The versatility of sugarpaste allow many different wedding cake designs to be created, from the traditional cakes to contemporary or novelty designs. Designs are not limited to those featured in this brochure or on our website. If you have an initial idea or theme, we can design a cake to meet your requirements. Magazines and books can be a good source of inspiration or ideas. Cakes can incorporate specific colour schemes, such as the colour of the bridesmaids dresses.
Shapes: Cakes of Distinction offer a wide range of shapes, including round, square, hexagon, heart and openbook. Finishing Touches: We believe a wedding cake should be a centrepiece at the wedding reception. Wedding cakes can be displayed in a variety of different ways. Cakes of Distinction can provide cake stands and colour coordinated cloth, glass stones or other accessories. Delivery: We offer a delivery service to the hotel for the wedding reception. If possible we will set up and decorate the table with cloth and other decorations for your wedding cake. Unfortunately we will not be able to offer this service to everyone, so please discuss your requirements when booking your wedding cake. Cake Knife: With the tradition of cutting the cake we have introduced a cake knife that is engraved with the name of the bride and groom and date of the wedding. We found this to be very popular as a keepsake, as it can be use time and time again for other special occasions such as christenings, anniversaries and an other family celebrations. The handle of the knife is sliver plated with a kings pattern design and the blade is stainless steel. The cake knife, which comes in a presentation box and free engraving is priced at €29.95
Type of Cakes We offer a variety of flavours including: Traditional Rich Fruit Cake, Chocolate Fudge, Madeira, and Carrot Cake. A single cake type or any combination of these flavours can be chosen for the individual tiers of the wedding cake. All of these can be covered and decorated with sugar paste. Traditional Rich Fruit Cake: Our rich fruit cake is made to a traditional recipe using the finest ingredients. Our fruit is left to soak in whiskey for a few days to ensure the cake remains delicate and moist. Once baking is complete more whiskey is added before the cake are wrapped and left to mature for a number of weeks before they are decorated. Suitable for vegetarians, Dairy Free, Contains Nuts Gluten Free option available Chocolate Fudge Cake: Our chocolate fudge cake gives the appearance of a rich, dark chocolate cake but when tasted it is in fact a light spongy moist cake. The chocolate fudge filling complements the cake very well and keeps it moist.

In addition to the normal recipe, lemon or espresso coffee can be added to enhance the flavour Suitable for vegetarians, Dairy Free, Contains Nuts Gluten Free option available Carrot Cake: Our carrot cake is a wholesome cake based on a family recipe and is made with carrots, cinnamon and walnuts.

Allergy Advice: Nuts: Nuts can be omitted from recipes, however they are made in a facility that handles nuts and they cannot be guaranteed nut free from an allergy perspective. Gluten: Gluten free products are produce in the same facility as normal cakes but the mixing and baking process are done at separate times and remain separated from other cakes. Eggs: All cakes contain eggs and eggs products. Fats: Any fats used are vegetable based and no animal based fats are used. Dairy: All our cake recipes are dairy free.
