GBC Cakes

Beautiful cake that tasted delicious. Gareth was so easy and pleasant to deal with

I was lucky enough to win a competion on social media to win our wedding cake. Gareth was great from the off, he treated me like a paying customer spending a lot of time messaging back and forth planning the cake we wanted. He even sent us a free tasting box via post so we would be happy with the flavours as well as the look of the cake on the day. The only problem we had was trying to narrow down the flavours to just three for the individual tiers they were all lovely but the knock out for me was the coconut and lime flavour, it was amazing! Everyone was talking about how tasty the cake was. We made sure to keep some for day 2 too so everyone would really appreciate it! When we first saw the cake on the day we were delighted with the finished product, it was exactly what we asked for.

Thanks again for everything Gareth

Gareth really out did himself with our cake it turned out fantastic better than we could of imagined. Gareth was easy to work with and very professional. We had three layers, lemon drizzle, rocky road and the red velvet. All were delicious but the red velvet tier was just to die for, so soft and light. Thanks again making our beautiful cake, you are really amazing at what you do.

Absolutely fantastic quality cake, we had red velvet chocolate biscuit and honeycomb with white chocolate, everybody was raving about it for a very long time. Can't recommend GBC cakes highly enough

Gareth made our beautiful wedding cake and it was delicious. We had so many compliments on the day. Gareth was great communicating throughout the planning process and we really enjoyed our cake tasting allowing us to choose the flavours we both really liked.

Go to the tasting on an empty stomach as each is as good as the next and you'll want to keep trying more!!

Amazing cake design and the taste was amazing. Everyone loved it

Excellent job. Flexible, responsive, easy to work with. Give him your colors and let him run with it. He's a cake artist and will produce a lovely result.

Gareth was amazing throughout. He did exactly what we asked for and helped guide us through the style of our wedding cake.

As for the cake itself, there are no words to describe how good it was. The white chocolate, honeycomb biscuit cake and chocolate biscuit cake were amazing.

Thanks so much Gareth.

Could not fault GBC cakes. Gareth was amazing and so professional. He really understood what we were after for our cake and it turned out amazing. The cake was divine and looked amazing! We have chocolate biscuit, red velvet, carrot fruit cake, lemon and coffee. We had a few guests who are gluten free and Gareth made a layer of the cake gluten free so our guests could enjoy our cake as well. While Gareth was decorating the cake he sent me pictures of the cake so we could see how it was going which was fab. We are soo glad we booked Gareth for our cake and would highly recommend any other couples to book with GBC cakes, you won't be disappointed.

Gareth made our Wedding cake and we could not be happier. Gareth was so easy and professional to work with throughout the booking process. As for the cake, there was very little left of the 3 tiers the next day which speaks for itself. Caoimhe & Adrian

We couldn't recommend GCB Cakes enough, Gareth was quick with his response to our inquiry he was friendly extremely reasonably priced and most importantly he took on board all our ideas and delivered something even better than expected! Our cake was fluffy not heavy the perfect slice of sweet after a big meal we also had donuts and the same they were delicious they looked so good you can tell Gareth loves what he does it 100% shows in his work. As our favours we asked for some biscuits with our initials and the date I honestly thought they would be small plain biscuits but no everyone commented on these! They were huge sugar cookie like biscuits with a layer of white icing on top with the initials and date done so elegantly and also a special bride and groom cookie each waiting at our seats which was the most beautiful surprise! I would recommend him again and again.

Gareth could not have been more helpful. Everything about our experience with GBC cakes was flawless. The design, communication, taste, absolutely everything. We decided to use our wedding cake as a surprise gender reveal for our guests. This was no issue for Gareth and it really added to the excitement of the day. Nobody was expecting it. He also included a little dog figure to represent our fur baby. All in all, I could not recommend GBC cakes enough.

Gareth was so kind and easy to work with. Gareth was open to many of my ideas and I knew chatting with him and looking at samples etc that he knew exactly what we were looking for. We got very generous sample amounts to choose from and our cake got many compliments on our day.

Gareth was just a dream to have as our wedding cake maker for our wedding. From the day we called to his house for the testing and all the flavours were so nice i could not decide what to go for. Was nearly adding an extra tier as was so torn between the lemon cake & the baileys with oreo filling. I told gareth what i pictured and he had it to a tee. Down to the pink roses to go with the theme. Cake was delivered to hotel and set up with no hassle for me but a quick message of reassurance that all was in place. I could not recommemd GBC cakes highly enough. A true gent.

Gareth made our wedding cake last year and it was perfect - exactly what we wanted! The cake was delicious.
Gareth was brilliant from start to finish, easy to communicate with and accomodating.
I have since recommended him to 2 friends who were also delighted with his services.

We are so happy we found GBC cakes to make our wedding cake. It was absolutely stunning but also very tasty. Gareth was a pleasure to deal with and the whole experience was exciting and stress free. There was a large selection of flavours to choose from, we had chocolate biscuit, Black Forest and whiskey cake for each different layer and each was equally delicious and the cake was beautifully presented on the big day. I would highly recommend

I sent Gareth a picture of what we were looking for with our wedding cake & he said it would be no problem at all. We got sample boxes delivered which were absolutely great so we could sample all the flavours he has on offer.
The cake was exactly what we wanted in terms of how it looked and it tasted amazing too!
Thank you again Gareth
Sinead & John

Gareth is absolutely amazing at what he does. From the first time I contacted him to see if he was available until the day of the wedding everything was just so easy. He made the most amazing 3 tier semi-naked cake with fresh flowers. It looked fantastic and the three flavours we picked were just amazing. We had so many compliments on the cake as we decided to cut the cake after the wedding ceremony so our guests could enjoy it with their pre-dinner drinks. I could not reccommend Gareth highly enough.

I would highly recommend GBC Cakes for a wedding. Everything about the cake and his service was fantastic. I came across GBC Cakes on Instagram when on the look out for a cake supplier and I’m so glad that he made our wedding cake. We chose a three tier cake: chocolate biscuit cake, lime and coconut and coffee. Gareth sourced beautiful flowers for the cake and it looked like a piece of art on display. The whole cake was so fresh and tasted great. It also held together well when cut. The lime and coconut was a real favourite of ours. It’s somewhat similar to a lemon drizzle cake with a bit of added texture from the coconut. Gareth is a real professional and his cakes are top quality. You won’t regret booking in with him for your wedding cake.

Gareth was fantastic to work with. He was very quick to respond to my emails and was very flexible and accommodating with all my ideas.
The cake turned out amazing, even better than I could have imagined. The lemon drizzle cake and white chocolate and honey comb biscuit cake taste incredible. The hardest part was picking the flavours because they all taste delicious.
We had our baby christened recently and we didn't hesitate in going back to Gareth for the christening cake and would reccomend him to anyone looking for an occasion cake.

Gareth from the first message was brilliant when we enquired to see was our wedding date free which it was so we were offered a a tasting box which was so delicious and immediately decided Gareth was going to make our wedding cake. The tasting box was a great way of including family in the wedding prep and also a nice chance to sit down with a hit cup of tea and some nice treats to enjoy. The wedding cake was fab and the right size advised for our numbers on the day.

We chose Gareth to make our wedding cake and it was the best decision we made throughout the wedding planning. Gareth made us feel so relaxed and nothing was too much trouble especially planning threw the pandemic and having to change our date 3 times. Our cake was 3 tiers filled with White Chocolate and Raspberry Biscuit Cake, Carrot Cake and Coconut and Lime (a firm favourite with our guests) The cake was exactly what we wanted, Thank you Gareth

We have been to a few weddings where Gareth had made the cakes so I knew when it was our turn to find someone to make our wedding cake it was always going to be GBC cakes without a doubt!!! We meet with Gareth for our cake tasting and from the minute we sat down he was so professional and helped us so much with our cake choice. Anything we asked Gareth he was so happy to help. We went with 3 tiers , Victoria sponge, lemon drizzle and white chocolate and honeycomb. When we seen our cake on our wedding day it was thee most amazing cake, it was perfect and the taste was even better every tier was delicious. We can’t thank GBC cakes enough and would highly recommend to any future couples!!!!

Gareth made our wedding cake back in October and not only was the cake identical to a picture I had sent him but each tier had a different flavour which were all amazing. We choose Chocolate biscuit, red velvet, baileys madeira and lemon drizzle and they exceed my expectation. The tasting box has so many gorgeous flavours its hard to narrow it down. Would definitely order again for other occassions and highly recommend.

Our cake was stunning from start to finish. The design was exactly what we wanted and the taste was also fantastic. A lovely service provided from GBC Cakes, Gareth is a pure gentleman. If you are looking for your perfect wedding cake Gareth is the man for you. Best Wishes Gareth and a heart felt Thank You

Wow what a wedding cake Gareth provided for our wedding. Top top class. All our guests where raving about the taste of the cake. When I went into Gareth to book our wedding cake he asked what design. I completely left it upto him and wow unbelievable. Gareth your amazing at your work. Thanks again
Graham and Kenneth

Gareth was amazing to have from start to finish he was so kind to us throughout our postponement and we were incredibly lucky that he was still available for our new date. We had the pleasure of meeting gareth in person when he invited us to taste samples of his cakes! I had to be rolled out and found it extremely hard to choose a flavour as they were all amazing. We opted for a 2 tier buttercream cake filled with Belgian chocolate biscuit and Lime and Coconut sponge for our 2nd tier! Our guests and ourselves couldn't get over how scrumptious both the cakes were, gareth is a true talent and a pure professional and pulled out all the stops In ensuring we had the cake of our dreams I would like to highly recommend Gareth and we cant thank you enough for your time effort and sheer talent so thank you, thank you thank you

Gareth made us the most beautiful three tier cake for our wedding day last month. Not only did it look stunning but it tasted delicious. The cake box was such a treat and in the end we went with chocolate biscuit, red velvet and lemon drizzle and each tier was as nice as the other! We cannot thank you enough. I will definitely be ordering again from Gareth for any upcoming special occasions!

Gbc Cakes were just amazing to deal with. We booked very last minute and were so glad we did. Gareth made us a bespoke 2 tier cake filled with Rum and Raisin Biscuit Cake and a Baileys Madeira Cake with Oreo buttercream. Gareth sourced us a beautiful cake topper and took care of all the flowers for decoration also. It was the perfect service. We both highly recommend him and look forward to eat his cakes again.

We had a lovely tasting box from Gareth with all the cake flavours to choose from.
It was a nice thing to do during lockdown and helped us choose our 3 different tiers.
The design of our cake was so amazing, all of our guests were blown away by it!
Loved it and really didn’t want to cut it (ruin it!)
We went for lemon drizzle, red velvet and coffee with an espresso cream filling.
The flavours were so delicious and Gareth made my vision into a reality!
The communication from booking to the morning of the wedding was 10/10
Thanks again

We couldn’t recommend gareth enough for our wedding cake. Unfortunately we had to do our wedding in covid but gareth made our cake feel like we had our proper wedding day he done every little detail and touch that we asked for and the three different flavors was out of this world no doubt about it.

Gareth what can we say you are absolutely amazing and we really cant thank you enough for all your help and assistance over the last year. I'm sure it has been so stressful for you with all the chopping and changing we had to do but nothing was a hassle and you were always so calming to chat with.
We had to Change or date from April to November due to the Covid 19 pandemic. When November came we decided to pull the date again and decided on a date in January 2021. Due to the governments new measures announced for weddings after 2nd of January we were lucky enough to tie the knot on the 31st of December. Gareth got 2 days notice to make our wedding cake and still managed to work his magic and made us the most elegant and delicious cake we ever could have asked for.
We chose his White Chocolate and Honeycomb Biscuit cake for our base tier and all I can say is WOW this is a real treat, I didn't want to share it with anyone. We then chose Lemon Drizzle with lemon curd filling, there was a fantastic flavour from this cake and you could really taste the tang of the lemon and the lemon curd was so silky smooth. Our top tier was Red Velvet filled with Cream Cheese and Passion fruit Buttercream. It was so light, the filling was so creamy and not to sweet or overpowering with cream cheese and the passion fruit gave it a lovely bump.
The cake was elegantly iced and finished with flowers and greenery which was all provided by Gareth so it took the hassle out of it for us having to order extra flowers. Gareth Even gave us advice on the best cake topper to choose.
Brides and Grooms all I can say is don't pass this man. He is just so nice to deal with, so professional and all willing to give the best advise to suit your needs.
As i said he only ended up getting 2 days notice to make our cake and he still didn't let us down.
We Can't wait to use GBC Cakes again. It was the best experience I've ever had and we really can't Thanks Gareth enough.
Best Wishes for the future Gareth.
Many Thanks
Sarah and Ian Tully

We booked Gareth for our cake over 2 years ago when we starting wedding planning, as we had gotten amazing cakes from him before and I trusted him to do exactly what I wanted. This year, like so many other brides and grooms, I was under serious stress of postponing or not, and we decided to go ahead with a small ceremony and Gareth was so helpful in helping me decide on a smaller more suitable cake for our intimate wedding. The cake itself was absolutely amazing and our guests loved it, it even lasted for most Christmas as our desert! I couldn’t recommend Gareth enough, he was such a pleasure to deal with.

Gareth was lovely to work with from start to finish. So friendly and open to designs. Our wedding cake was amazing, our guests were in raves about it. They demolished it, so glad we stayed with the original sized cake even though we had a smaller wedding. Several took his details to enjoy more in the future. Gareths biscuit cake is honestly the nicest we have ever had, it just melts in your mouth. Cannot wait for another excuse for a party to order more!

Gareth's cakes were delicious, and everyone commented as to how much they enjoyed them.
When we had to change to lower numbers, Gareth was very helpful and reasonable in his pricing and he helped make our day a lot easier.
We had a lemon drizzle and chocolate biscuit cake and as I mentioned both were delicious.

We were absolutely delighted with our cake, the service was exceptional, cant thank GBC cakes enough for providing us with such an amazing creation, and at short notice too.. wishing you all continued succuess

I contacted Gareth a couple of months ago and had advised him of my wedding date, although i haven't got mny responses of him on the running up on the wedding, he was very responsive closer to the wedding date. i thought this was actually a good idea as deciding on a cake/design too early would normally change throughout time. Once Gareth was responding about the request, he was polite and very helpful as i was a bride-to-be who wasn't very sure about the types/styles of cakes. He was catering for a chinese wedding. He was able to design the most important symbol ? (happiness) on a cake which is very important in a chinese wedding. The cake design that i requested was very "simple" but Gareth managed to make the cake look powerful and elegant as well as keeping it within the "simple" guidelines of my request.

Thanks so much for your help choosing our wedding cake Gareth! The tasting was relaxed and very enjoyable and the cakes all tasted fantastic. We ended up going for a four teir semi naked cake with the chocolate biscuit cake, lemon drizzle, carrot cake and salted caramel. The cake tasted fabulous and got plenty of great comments from all our guests. Gareth managed the whole process from start to finish flawlessly and really took the pressure off our shoulders. Thank you so much!

We were delighted with our Wedding cake. It looked stunning, and tasted delicious. Gareth interpreted my vision perfectly and created a beautiful, elegant and classy Wedding cake that was great value for money. I would highly recommend GBC Cakes.

From the very first moment of contact to our wedding day, and actually seeing our wedding cake in person, Gareth was nothing short of wonderful. He couldn’t do enough for us and made everything so easy.

The cake looked and tasted incredible and we were delighted with everything. We went for the 4 tiers with red velvet, carrot cake, lemon drizzle and a baileys sponge - every tier was incredible.

I highly recommend choosing Gareth for your wedding cake or any other cake you need really! He’s not won awards for nothing - very talented, reliable and an absolute gentleman.

I would highly recommend Gareth for his amazing cakes. The work he puts into them is unreal and they taste delicious. No matter what kind of cake you want he is always up for the challenge. Thanks Gareth for our wedding cake

GBC cakes provided a fantastic service. The doughnuts tasted amazing and the display was spectacular. Thank you so much for bringing our vision to life!!

The cake was absolutely delicious.

We had a completely stress free experience with Gareth. So friendly and talented. In the first meeting we discussed flavours and design and also allergies. Everything we discussed was taken into account and delivered. The cake on the day was beautiful and it tasted amazing. I would highly recommend Gareth to any couple and he will be top of my list for future occasions and celebrations.

Highly recommend Gareth. The cake he made for our wedding was absolutely beautiful and so many of our guests commented on how nice it tasted.

Gareth is excellent.WOW!!! The cake he made for our wedding was superb both to look at and taste. The design was exactly what we wanted, it was stunning to look at and tasted unbelievable!!! We got the white belgian chocolate honeycomb biscuit and it was to die for! The other two tiers were lemon drizzle and red velvet and were amazing too. There wasnt a bit of cake left after the wedding it was all polished off, it was that delicious. All our guests where raving about it. Gareth was a pleasure to deal with and makes everything so easy. Im looking forward to the next occasion so I can order another cake off him!

excellent service and cake tasted delicious.

Gareth was a pleasure to deal with. His cakes are amazing and I highly reccomend him. People are still talking about our wedding cake.

Gareth provided a fantastic service end to end. His communication was superb, and the cake was absolutely stunning both in looks and taste. It was exactly what we had been looking for, semi naked, and Gareth worked directly with our florist to arrange the flowers. Gareth also very kindly supplied a beautiful cake stand which set the entire cake off beautifully in the venue. Highly recommend :)

Gareth was so professional and his cake was a massive hit with us and our guests, I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful cake, thank you Gareth x

From the moment I contacted Gareth I knew our wedding cake was in safe hands. Gareth provided us with our half and half county cake, which got great compliments, and gluten free cupcakes for some of our guests.
We also got him to make a fruit cake which we put out at our drinks reception and there wasn't a crumb left! We got many compliments on the taste too.

What can I say about Gareth. From the start he was 100% professional and accommodating. I simply had to explain the style I like and the colours I wanted and Gareth understood straight away. I did not have to give the cake a second thought after that as I trusted Gareth 100%. Poor Gareth even had to deliver that cake with the help of the River Rescue in the worst snow storm we've ever seen as we got married on the 2nd March this year. When the country came to a stand still. When all our other suppliers were cancelling due to the snow Gareth made sure at all costs that we had our cake for our wedding day. I really couldn't thank him enough. Plus it tasted amazing. I would recommend Gareth to anyone that would listen to me.

The service we received from Gareth was second to none. Very friendly and professional from start to finish. The cake was amazing to look at and the taste was amazing would highly recommend Gareth to anyone.

Gareth made our wedding cake in July. From start to finish it was a pleasure to work with him. I had an idea in my head of what I wanted. I took pictures of different cakes to show him the overall colours and designs I wanted and left it all in his capable hands. The cake Gareth produced was absolutely to a T what I had in my head. For someone to be able to piece together exactly what I wanted from so many different pictures and ideas is amazing.

The cake not only looked amazing but tasted out of this world. The only cake left was the cake I had the hotel save for me. Which might I add travelled to Australia the following tuesday and still tasted beautiful.

From talking and working with Gareth on our wedding cake it is clear the he is a professional at what he does. It is not only a job but he puts his heart and soul into the cakes he bakes.

Where do I start with gareth what a amazing parson to work with he was the best part of planning the wedding because it was the less stressful part thanks to gareth he really go's out of his way to make sure u get exactly what you wanted down to the most tiniest bit when I first got to meet gareth face to face 5 min talking to him about what I wanted he had it and more I was having a vintage style wedding and I wanted my cake to stand out like all brides and with out a doubt gareth had that done that for me not only did it look amazing it tasted amazing gareth was able to do four tiers for us and done all the flavours we wanted the selection of flavours that garet had went on and on and on absolutely amazing flavours you would've never thought of putting together and tasted amazing I cannot recommend this man enough I hope one day I will get to work with him again as I found him the best part of plan on the wedding I wish him all the luck in the world because I no this guy is going far x

Gareth made our wedding cake last year and to say we were pleased is an understatement. He made exactly what I asked for, very elegant, classy and timeless that will always look good in my photo album. He did everything to perfection and every tier was as delicious as the next. If anyone is looking for someone who is easy to deal with look no further, he takes it all so personally and really puts so much thought into his work which is why he was recommended to us in the first place.

I've had the pleasure of dealing with Gareth and designing a cake with him. He took every idea I had and made a masterpiece all the while keeping my budget in mind. His patience and advice was second to none, even when my ideas were a little outrageous. He is top notch at baking and designing but the visual and the taste beats all. Very knowledgeable, very kind and a pleasure to do business with which is why I have recommended him to so many of my friends and family who have hired him since.
