Dealing with Ruairi's Kitchen was a pleasure from start to finish. Ruairi was excellent he gave us sample box with the cakes so we could pick the flavour for our wedding cake. Also, Ruairi was always very flexible and replied very fast to our messages we had pleasure to deal with him. Thank your Ruairi for all your help the cake was lovely but the only thing we would say it was a bit too sweet. Tania and Seamus
Response from Ruairi's Kitchen
Hi Tania and Seamus thank you so much for your kind words and your review. It was a pleasure and I’m so glad you enjoyed the experience of dealing with me as your wedding baker. Thank you for your feedback about the cake and I am so sorry you found it a bit too sweet, I understand this can be quite a personal taste thing and if you had felt they were too sweet for your liking you should have brought it to my attention after the sample box tasting or at any stage and I could have counteracted the sweetness for you as I said it is quite a personal preference. Thank you again and all the best.

We are delighted to be able to give Ruairi a 5 star review. From the very beginning Ruairi was nothing but professional, he responded to messages quickly, gave us the time to discuss different styles and he created the most beautiful Game of Thrones cake, so much so that we hated cutting into it, it was so perfect. We highly recommend Ruairi, nothing was ever a problem and he made everything so seamless. Thank you Ruairi

Ruairi's Kitchen did the cake for my brothers wedding, as they are in the states I had the responsibility of arranging it. Given the December 28th date, it was hard enough to arrange one, but Ruairi's Kitchen sorted it out. Very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. The cake was chocolate biscuit and it was absolutely out of this world! The best I have ever tasted, and I have tasted a lot! It was melt in your mouth, just the right combo of chocolate to biscuit ratio, and so fresh. All the guests commented on how lovely the cake was too.I caught the bouquet so hopefully I’ll be planning my own wedding soon- Ruairi's Kitchen will be my first and only cake call. Couldn’t recommend Ruairi's Kitchen enough. Joanne

Ruairi went above and beyond for our wedding cake. It was all so easy as we sent on pictures via WhatsApp and he created exactly what I had sent him, as well as delivering it to the hotel and setting it all up! It looked fantastic and tasted even better!! Feedback from our guests was top class and our wedding pictures with the cake are one of my favourites! I would recommend Ruairi without hesitation and will be getting him again for any other life events that come our way ??

When I chose my wedding date, the first thing I choose was the cake with Ruairi. He has already made some cakes for me and has always exceeded expectations. Ruairi helped me in the creation and decision of what would be best for the day. Near the date I asked for some changes from what I had imagined when I booked and he was super. The cake, besides being perfect on the outside, had a magnificent flavor. I also emphasize the decoration of the cake, because made it even more beautiful. I higher recommend Ruairi for any occasion and look forward to some date to order the next cake.

From the very beginning, Ruairi was absolutely amazing to deal with. Neither of us were huge cake lovers but we definitely wanted cake for our wedding. He guided us through all different styles of cake and through the muddle of what I wanted in my head. What was produced was a stunningly beautiful cake that was scrumptiously delicious. Ruairi dropped the cake down to the venue and set it up for us; plus his attention to detail was unreal. Ruairi even matched the flowers on the cake to the colour of the bridal bouquet. Ruairi was so friendly and so professional throughout and made planning our wedding so easy! I knew people would be fed lots of gorgeous cake! Book with Ruairi's kitchens and you will not be disappointed! Thanks Ruairi. Mmmmmmmm! Triona and Noely

Hi Triona And Noely thank you so much for your kind words. I loved doing your cake and loved the venue and set up.

I asked Ruairi if he could supply us with gluten free cupcakes for our wedding. Ruairi was very knowledgeable about allergies in the kitchen and was upfront and honest about his kitchen not being a 100% gluten free environment. Saying that I was confident to go ahead with my order as Ruairi explained he would not bake anything with gluten in the kitchen until after he had my order baked and ready. I really appreciated it and everyone loved the cupcakes you wouldn't even have known they were gluten free.

Ruairi was fantastic from day 1! The tasting box was so delicious it was hard to decide on flavours for our cake. We wanted a rustic, naked cake and Ruairi delivered exactly what we had asked for. It was simply beautiful and it tasted absolutely delicious. Ruairi's Kitchen is only in business one year but I have no doubt he will be extrememly successful given the service he provided us. We honestly cannot thank Ruairi enough, we were blown away on the day the cake was spectacular! He was extrememly easy to deal with. We would highly highly recommend. Guests at the wedding are still talking about how tasty the cake was! Laura and Rob xxx

He was always contactable no matter what and always contacted us with ideas and plans he had for the cake.

Ruairi made us the most stunning cake for our recent wedding, it was very reasonably priced and the most delicious cake. Out of 3 tiers there was nothing left uneaten! Ruairi was unbelievably helpful with everything and his talent for decorating is amazing. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding cake and he's very creative so don't be afraid to mention something different like we did. Ours was black with silver moons and stars and was just epic!

We had the chance of having Ruari's first wedding cake and we couldn't be happier. Actually We didn't believe that it was his first wedding cake at that time as it was so professional and good looking. During the process of making it, Ruari answered all our questions and provided samples of the final cake. I strongly recommend his services :)

Hi Gleyton, Thank you so much for your review and kind words.
