Ordering a cake online for the first time? Here's exactly how it works at CakeMeAway IE — from choosing your cake to getting it delivered (or collected) in Dublin, plus answers to the questions we get asked most.
Placing Your Order
Browse any of our collections, pick a design, size and flavour, and add a name, age or short message on the product design page, or prefer full creative control? Use our Create Your Own Cake tool to build your design from scratch. Everything is ordered and paid for securely online — no delays, endless emails/phone calls needed.
Delivery Across Dublin
Yes — we deliver to every Dublin postal district, Dublin 1 through Dublin 24, plus Rathmines, Ranelagh, Clontarf, Drumcondra, Sandymount, Blackrock, Dundrum, Stillorgan, Swords, Malahide, Castleknock, Blanchardstown, Tallaght, Clondalkin and Lucan. Your delivery fee is calculated automatically at checkout once you enter your address, so you'll always see the exact cost before you pay.
Same-Day & Last-Minute Orders
Need a cake for today? Order by 12 noon Wednesday to Friday, or by 10am Saturday and Sunday, and we'll bake, hand-finish, and deliver it across Dublin the same afternoon — delivery lands between 3 pm and 7 pm on weekdays, or 12 pm and 4pm at weekends. Browse the Same-Day Cake Delivery range to see what's available within that window. We're closed Mondays and Tuesdays, so same-day ordering isn't available on those two days.
Collecting Your Cake (Pickup)
Prefer to collect in person? Pickup is free from our Cake Studio at 8 Military Road, Kilmainham, Dublin D08AE2C. Collection window is between 3pm to 6pm on weekdays and between 12 and 3 pm on weekends. If you'd like to collect earlier than your event (for example, the day before), just let us know when ordering or get in touch. We'll do our best to arrange a time that suits. We're closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
Ordering From Outside Dublin
Outside our Dublin delivery area? We also offer shippable options — like our Cake Jars (Box of 6) — that can be posted to addresses across Ireland, so you don't have to miss out just because you're not local.
How Far Ahead Should I Order?
For same-day cakes, just order by the cut-off times above. For fully custom designs, a little more notice helps us guarantee your exact date and design, 1 to 5 days is ideal. Wedding cakes, tiered cakes, sculpted designs, fresh florals and gold leaf need the most notice — these should be booked 2 to 4 weeks ahead.
Changes, Cancellations & Issues
We fully understand that plans change, we need a 2 weeks notice for a full refund. Cakes are perishable and cannot be sold to other customers, so shorter notice is not possible.
Payment & Getting in Touch
All orders are paid securely online at checkout. If you have any questions before or after ordering, reach us at info@cakemeawayie.com or +353 85 809 3880 — we're based at 8 Military Road, Kilmainham, Dublin 8, and open every day except Monday and Tuesday.
