Brian thank you so much for the tartlet selection box I won they were fantastic. Amazing presentation and most of all soooooo tasty 🥰 A big hit in this house not a crumb left 🤣
Caroline M.
Exceptional cake both in terms of aesthetic and taste. Brian did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding cake and really hit the brief in terms of delivering exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely recommend him to all our friends and family in the future as well as using him again for other occasions.
Patrick C.
Superb choice and delivery 📦 all packaged up beautifully. Ordered cake mail for a birthday gift for a friend in Dublin . She was overwhelmed with the presentation of the gift, indeed the taste and also loved the birthday card.
Would definitely recommend.
Cara J.
Brian made the most delicious wedding cake for us! Everyone was talking about it. It also looked beautiful! Brian was very professional to deal with. I would highly recommend Brian for your wedding cake!
Niamh F.
I ordered a cake from Brian for my daughter's 10th birthday. She asked for it as part of her birthday presents, we were not disappointed!
The cake looked like a work of art, she burst into tears when she saw it. It was also beyond delicious, we went with raspberry and white chocolate. To say this cake made her day extra special is an understatement. Brian is a pleasure to deal with by email, and delivery was safe and punctual. I will order from McG cakes again, I recommend you do too.
Vanessa J.

We just wanted to say a massive thank you for the absolutely gorgeous wedding cake on Sunday. You took a few simple ideas and totally blew them out of the water. The whole table set up was a work of art! And it tasted as amazing as it looked. Our guests couldn’t get enough of it later in the evening, and we were lucky enough to sneak a few slices away to enjoy again the next day.

Gerard M.
Brian was fantastic to work with from start to finish. We traveled from Chicago to Ireland for our wedding so there were a lot of logistics to work through & coordinating with McG Cakes was a breeze. Our wedding cake was a work of art (it doesn’t seem fair to simply call it a cake) and it tasted FAB! Our guests were raving about it, and said it’s ruined them for all other wedding cakes. McG cakes was a big part of making our day so special.
Margaret K.
Mc G bring to you a gentle sweet and taste bakes, very fresh and the lovely and friendly customer care. If you ever become to cross with them don't doubt to buy any of they deliciousness. You will be smiling from inside outside. 🌼
Juani G.

Brian made our wedding cake in November and it was absolutely delicious, he made the whole process so easy from the first phone call to delivering our beautiful wedding cake! Our guests are still talking about the chocolate orange cake! thanks again Brian from Claire & David
Claire O G.
As soon as we saw photos of other wedding cakes from McG, there was no other option for us! Our cake, the confectionery, the setup - everything was amazing! It was a wonderful surprise to see it all when we got to the dining room. Brian recommended adding some pink sails to the cake that were even better than the picture he showed as example. We loved it all. As did our guests!
Karen W.
We had Brian make our wedding cake for our big day in October, and I couldn’t have been happier. The cake looked and tasted fab. Everyone loved it. I was delighted the topper and it was exactly as requested and he had set up our cake table perfectly. Brian is excellent at his job and a pleasure to work with, I couldn’t fault him or recommend him highly enough if you’re looking for someone to make your wedding cake!
Katy M.
I absolutely loved our wedding cake. The design was exactly what I wanted but I wasn't sure I had even given a good description !! With the madness of the day I had completely forgot about the cake until the reception and it was just stunning. Tasted fab as well ! Brian and Aisling were very easy to work with.
Fiona K.

Ann Mc N.
We cannot speak highly enough of Brian! Right from the start the process felt So seamless, he really took on board everything we asked for and created not a cake but a work of art! The cake went down a treat and all of our guests raved about it. It was just stunning and so many options to pick from! He was a total professional and there were no issues with having it set up, he really took any of the stress out of it. Thank you Brian!

Hi Brian
Thank you so much for making a fantastic job of our wedding cake last week. Every last piece of it was eaten! Everyone was talking about how good it tasted.
The best marble cake the Kerry guests ever had! You may be getting an order for a few of them at Christmas from the Kerry side! They were very impressed!

You do a fantastic job & I would highly recommend your company to any future bride & groom.

Thanks so much

When we got engaged the first thing I said was I want to have a McGCakes wedding cake! We had admired them for so long and had already ordered and tried some of Brian’s cake mail previously. It was very easy to work with Brian and his team to agree flavours and design. We knew we were in good hands and Brian is a pro. When we walked into our reception I couldn’t believe that is was actually our cake. It was truly breathtaking and seeing it for first time was a moment that will stay with us. It was so striking and elegant and the way it was presented was stunning. The pictures of us cutting the cake are some of our favourite ones! We went for a three tier cake with Belgian biscuit, classic Victoria and chocolate and caramel. The flavours of each tier were first class. Many of our guests said it was nicest cake they ever tasted and we enjoyed it for the wedding day but also day 2 and day 3! It kept fresh for ages and was just such good quality.Thank you to McGCakes for a truly amazing wedding cake that made our day extra special.
Emer F.
Wonderful cakes that look fantastic and taste delicious.
Ruth M.

Thank you so much Brian for a beautiful cake. From the moment I spoke to Brian he was such a great help. He made the exact cake I wanted, I couldnt have asked for better. He went beyond that with the delivery and the setting up of the cake,the cake stand and topper and working with other suppliers I had.
I would highly recommend Brian. Thank you so much for making it easy.
Caroline D.
Beautiful coffee and cakes. Well worth a visit
Sligo R.
Brian was the BEST supplier EVER! Seriously, our wedding cake was just so perfect, even better than what we had imagined and so, so reasonably priced. Brian went above and beyond for us, he was so professional and just took the pressure off us from day one. He was in contact with our florist, organised delivery with our venue, set everything up and gave cutting instructions to the kitchen. He took care of every detail, even the stuff we didn't even think needed to be organised. You'd be doing yourself a huge favour by having Brian on your wedding supplier team.
Susan Mhic S.
Great service and cakes

This review is a year late, but I cannot say enough amazing things about Mc G Cakes. Brian was an absolute gem to work with on our wedding cake. I’m from the US and had no chance to come to Ireland to taste test or shop around. Our wedding planner suggested Brian and we couldn’t not have been happier with the results. He worked with us long distance to come up with multiple sketched designs. He’s so good the choices were so hard to pick only one. What he created was absolute perfection. It was a show stopper and people to this day still talk about the cake. And the taste - amazing.It was also 2 of our friend’s birthdays. Brian also made two small cakes for them. They were stunning. I wasn’t expecting much but got more than I could have ever imagined. If you’re not sure who to pick, seriously, look no further. Can’t wait to come back and visit.

Maeve O.
We recently got our wedding cake from Brian & it did not disappoint. When we booked our wedding there was no question who would do our wedding cake it was always going to be McG Cakes. Like everything Brian does it tasted amazing & his attention to detail was second to none. He made the whole process so easy, was a pleasure to deal with and brought our vision to life. We were both so impressed on the day. A Massive thanks to Brian for being part of our day & there is no doubt that we will be returning customers.
amy F.
Had a big birthday recently and received a beautiful cake from McG Cakes, it was so lovely I didn’t want to cut it but really glad I did it tasted amazing. For a young man not too long self employed he has a great understanding of any and everyone’s requirements. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a cake for any occasion.
Jean M.
We were so happy we choose Brian for our wedding cake. He not only makes beautiful cakes but they taste delicious too. We received so many compliments. Having gone through 4 wedding reschedules, he was always so accommodating and empathic towards us. I just need to find another occasion now so I can book Brian again!

Brian and the team at McG Cakes were absolutely incredible to deal with through the entire process - booking, design, executing, and delivering the wedding cake of our dreams. Not only did they deliver a beautiful (and delicious) cake, they also custom made cookie favours for each of our guests. Brian was able to source a monogram stamp to match our stationary suite to personalise the cookies and they were perfect. Highly recommend booking McG Cakes for your wedding - fantastic service and products from start to finish 🙂
Meredith D.
I met Brian at a recent wedding fair, his cakes are delicious and the designs are so unique and beautiful. He was sooo knowledgeable about his craft and very friendly would highly recommend him.
Clodagh D.
McG cakes were absolutely brilliant on our wedding day and were a pleasure to work with in the lead up to it.The whole set up and display was just perfect.

Mc Gs never ceases to impress us! Brian is doing amazing work and we get to watch his witchcraft all the time on Instragram! Talk about drool worthy!We hired Brian to make a cake for our wedding and he went above and beyond anything we expected. The cake was extremely moist and the flavors were incredible. We did not get a chance to do a cake tasting because we are from Florida, so we were taking a risk but extremely glad we chose him! Now, we are just sad we did not get to try all of the other flavors! The actual design of our cake was spot on. We showed him things that we liked and did not like and he created a masterpiece! We cannot rcommend him enough!

Thanks so much for the beautiful cake. Looked amazing but tasted fabulous.

Brian, thank you so much for the epic cake and dessert table, it was quite literally breathtaking! I couldn't have imagined how beautiful it would turn out and we are so grateful to you for just being so easy to work with and really taking any hassle or effort out of that part of the wedding - we literally had to do nothing except give a basic outline of colour and what we had in mind, all the work was taken care of by you! We can't thank you enough and it's testament to how good it was that there wasn't a bit left over after the following morning - it was in high demand! Thanks again for everything

Mcg cakes made my beautiful wedding cake display 3 weeks ago at kilronan castle. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It was perfect & better than I ever pictured. I booked mcg cakes straight away when we set our wedding date back in 2019. We had to postpone twice and Brian was so helpful each time. I’d recommend to everyone if you want a beautiful & unique display then look no further than mcg cakes. Thanks again😊

Our wedding cake was better than we ever could have asked for! The design was amazing - Brian took the simple ideas we had and created an stunning display that every one of our guests still talks about. The cake flavours were by far the hardest decision we had to make while planning our wedding, as they were all absolutely superb! The cake itself tasted incredible (so much so, our guest were fighting over the leftovers in the morning). It was everything we dreamed of! 5 stars!

A huge thank you to Brian for making the most beautiful and delicious chocolate biscuit cake for our wedding day. I wanted something simple and fuss free but in hindsight we should have gone for 5 or 6 tiers - the cake was all eaten by the end of our day 2! People were raving about it! So cheers Brian, we'll be back for the next event!
Niamh F.
Brian is truly talented. Gorgeous tasting cakes with such attention to detail. Would highly recommend to anyone .
Tamera L.
We ordered the chocolate coated brownie hearts for Valentine's Day and they were absolutely delish! The brownies weren't too sweet at all, and my husband, who isn't mad about sweet things said they were the most delicious brownies he'd ever had! There was a mix up with my order, and the candle I bought with the order wasn't sent out with the brownies, but Brian was super quick and helpful and sent the candle out to me immediately. Great customer care, and incredibly tasty treats!
