Hello!

​

My name is April, though my closest friends and family know me as Apple.

​

I am a cottage-based wedding cake designer nestled in the picturesque coastal town of Kinsale, Cork, offering bespoke wedding cake design services throughout the region.

 A Lifelong Passion for Cake

​

I have been baking and decorating cakes for over 30 years. My family ran a cake business in our home country, creating cakes for weddings and celebrations. Growing up in the kitchen, I wore many hats—sometimes as the “batter girl,” meringue maker, decorator, or even the dishwasher! These early experiences sparked a lifelong passion for creating cakes that are as beautiful as they are delicious. 

 

Specialisation

 

I specialise in fine sugarflower wedding cakes, adorned with:

• Edible mixed-media florals and foliage

• Confectionery textures

• Delicate buttercream flowers

During the autumn and winter seasons, I often incorporate dried florals and foliage, adding seasonal charm and complementing the edible elements perfectly.

 

Inspiration

​

Design inspiration comes from many sources, including:

• The couple’s wedding color palette

• The bride’s dress

• Seasonal motifs

• Wedding stationery

I work closely with each couple to create a unique, personalised wedding cake. While some couples bring a clear vision, I never replicate another designer’s work. Every cake is original, inspired by the couple’s ideas, and designed to make their wedding truly unforgettable.

Cake Flavours & Techniques

​

Beyond design, my cakes are celebrated for their exceptional flavour and texture. I focus on:

• Gourmet, heirloom-inspired recipes

• Carefully selected, high-quality ingredients

• Techniques perfected over years of experience

Each cake has a distinctly velvety texture, achieved through specific flours and methods, and all fillings are homemade, ensuring every bite is as delicious as it is beautiful.
