Wafer Paper Wedding Cake Dublin | Gold Leaf Sail Cake | CakeMeAway

Sculptural, Modern, and Unlike Anything Else on the Table

Our Wafer Paper Wedding Cake is built by hand from individually shaped wafer paper sails, each one curled, edged and set in place around the cake. Finished with 24-carat edible gold leaf, hand-rolled spheres, dried pampas and a wedding personalised topper.

It's the design couples send us most often, and the one that photographs best — the sails catch the light differently from every angle, so it looks different in every shot.

Unlike traditional stacked wedding cakes, this is built as a single extra-tall tier — six layers of sponge in one dramatic column. It's a distinctly modern look.

Handmade fresh in Dublin, and available in white and gold and silver and white.

Frequently Asked

How many people does this cake serve?
It depends on the diameter you choose — servings are listed beside each size option above. The six-layer height means each size serves considerably more than its width suggests.

Is one tier enough for a wedding?
For most weddings, yes. The six-layer height means a single tier serves far more than a standard cake of the same width. For larger guest counts we can go up in diameter, or pair the cake with a dessert table — get in touch and we'll work it out with you.

Can I have this design in different colours?
Yes. We've made it in white and gold, silver and white, and blush with copper. Tell us your wedding palette above and we'll work to it, subject to availability.

Is the wafer paper edible?
Yes — wafer paper is edible, as is the gold leaf. The pampas grass and acrylic topper are non-edible and should be removed before cutting.

Can you add our names or initials?
Yes. Names, initials, a monogram or a message — enter what you'd like in the personalisation fields above.

Is this design only for weddings?
Not at all. We make it regularly for milestone birthdays and anniversaries, usually with the topper changed and the palette adjusted to suit.

Can you match a pattern or texture on the cake itself?
Yes. The body can be left smooth, stencilled with a geometric or leaf pattern, or panelled in gold leaf.

How much notice do you need?
Wedding cakes should be booked as early as possible, particularly for summer dates. Select an available date on our calendar when ordering, and contact us directly if your date isn't showing.

Do you deliver across Dublin?
Yes. We deliver throughout Dublin city and county, including Blanchardstown, Swords, Tallaght, Dún Laoghaire and Lucan. Delivery is arranged at checkout.
