DELIVERY

Nothing means more to us than bringing our customers great value and service. We will continue to grow to meet the needs of all our customers, delivering a service beyond all expectation anywhere in Co. Galway or outside.

Please give at least 5 days notice for delivery and fulfillment of your order. For bigger celebration cakes, our lead time is usually 2-3 weeks. This allows us time to design and plan for all the requirements of your event cake including any non-stock items which may be required for the design.
