Ornate Four Tier Wedding Cake Dublin | Gilded Luxury Cake | CakeMeAway

Hand-Painted, Gilded, and Built to Be Remembered

Our Four Tier Ornate Wedding Cake is the most detailed cake we make. Square and round tiers alternate up the cake, each one covered in smooth fondant, hand-airbrushed to an ombré finish, and dressed with gilded baroque scrollwork applied piece by piece along every edge and corner.

The pleated tier is sculpted by hand. The sugar orchids are made petal by petal, wired and shaped so they sit as though they've just been placed. Nothing here is moulded in one go, and nothing is quick.

Handmade fresh in Dublin. Shown in antique gold with ivory sugar orchids, and in emerald and gold — but the palette is entirely yours.

Frequently Asked

How many people does this cake serve?
140–146 standard portions across four tiers — a 10" base, an 8", a 6" and a 4" on top. It's built for large guest lists, and it's our largest wedding cake.

Is this a fondant cake?
Yes. Each tier is covered in smooth fondant, which is what allows the sharp square edges, the airbrushed ombré and the gilded scrollwork to sit as crisply as they do. This level of detail isn't achievable in buttercream. The sponge and filling underneath are entirely your choice.

Can we choose our own colours?
Yes, and this design carries colour better than almost anything else we make. The airbrushed ombré works in jewel tones, soft neutrals and metallics alike. Tell us your palette above and we'll work to it, subject to availability.

Is the gold detailing edible?
Yes. The scrollwork is handmade sugar work finished in edible gold. The sugar flowers are edible too, though most couples keep them as a keepsake rather than eating them.

Can each tier be a different flavour?
Yes. Choose a sponge and filling for each tier separately in the options above — a popular choice when there's a mix of tastes among your guests.

Can we have different flowers?
Yes. Sugar orchids give the most dramatic result, but roses, peonies and mixed florals all work beautifully. Tell us what's in your bouquet and we'll do our best to echo it.

Can the tier shapes be changed?
Yes. The alternating square and round tiers are what gives this cake its architecture, but we can build it all square, all round, or in a different arrangement if you'd prefer.

Can we have fewer tiers for a smaller wedding?
Yes. The same design can be built at three tiers or two for a smaller guest list. Contact us with your numbers and we'll quote it.

How much notice do you need?
This is our most detailed design and the handwork takes considerable time, so it needs the longest lead time of any cake we make. Book as early as you can, particularly for summer dates, and contact us directly if your date isn't showing on the calendar.

Do you deliver and set up?
Yes. We deliver throughout Dublin city and county, including Blanchardstown, Swords, Tallaght, Dún Laoghaire and Lucan. Four tier cakes are assembled on site at your venue — contact us for a delivery and setup quote.
