The chic cake boutique

About Joanne…

Hello I’m Joanne, owner of The Chic Cake Boutique.

I first discovered my passion for cake decorating while on work experience as a trainee chef in The Green Door café in Cork.

In 2006 I decided to concentrate on my pastry skills and received a Bachelor of Arts in Culinary Arts with Distinction from GMIT.

Now I make wedding cakes from my HSE registered kitchen. I am fully insured and hold up to date hygiene certification.

I live in Co. Limerick with my husband and two kids. I got married in 2007, I have been through all the same planning and decisions that you’re going through right now. I understand how stressful planning a wedding can be and this is why I like to make the cake ordering process as simple as possible for you.

From start to finish I’ll be on hand to answer any question you have about ordering a cake from me. I am always available via email and I love hearing about all your plans! I like to work closely with my couples to really get to know you and understand your visions so that I can really create you something spectacular for your big day.

Please feel free to book in for a video call at a time convenient for you.

I would recommend The Cake Boutique for all your cake needs. I got married 30/11/24 and I must say i couldn't find a flaw wiry the cake if I tried. It was beautifully done and exactly how I wanted, she was with us every step of the journey to see exactly what we wanted and the cake ended up being everything we could have hoped for, Joanne was amazing to work with and when we couldn't decide flavours, we got a cake tasting box with an amazing difference in flavours to help us choose and overall make our lives so much easier. I can only say fantastic things about her and the cake she made us for our day.

I highly recommend The Chic Cake Boutique for all your cake needs. The cake was very beautiful and was very tasty. I liaised with Joanne via email the whole time as I live in Australia. She was very responsive and gave me all the information I needed. She also liaised with the florist for me as I wanted flowers on the cake. The cake looked exactly like I wanted it to.

We got our beautiful wedding cake from Joanne. We went with a themed cake and it was stunning. Joanne provided us with a tasting box initially which was a great help to narrow down what fillings etc that we wanted. Thanks again Joanne

I highly recommend The Chic Cake Boutique as a wedding cake supplier. Joanne made a cake for our recent wedding day. We were blown away by it's beautyIt perfectly matched our wedding theme and style. The attention to detail in the design, from the fondant work to the delicate sugar flowers was incredible. Our guests couldn't stop admiring the cake's stunning appearance. The cake was equally delicious, moist and flavourful. This was important to us as we served our cake as the dessert on our wedding day.Also, from the moment we first contacted Joanne she was so helpful. She promptly replied to all my queries was truly and provided all the necessary information I needed. One of the highlights of our experience with Joanne was the amazing taster box she sent us once we booked with her. It was like receiving a delightful surprise in the mail! The taster box contained an array of scrumptious mini cake samples, allowing us to taste a variety of flavors and fillings. It was such a treat and helped us finalize our choices for the wedding cake.Thanks Joanne for making our wedding day even more memorable with your exceptional talent and service. We wish you continued success in your business, and we have no doubt that future couples will be as delighted as we were with your remarkable cakes.Orla & Neil

Joanne - The Chic Cake Boutique - made our cake for our wedding in May. She was so helpful in the lead up to the wedding and the cake was just what we wanted! There wasn’t a slice left which is always a good sign. Thanks Joanne.

Joanne made our beautiful wedding cake in October 2021. We had a two tier cake - an 8 inch cake which was a chocolate Guinness cake coated with caramelised chocolate and vanilla buttercream and a 6 inch Red Velvet cake coated with cream cheese buttercream. What attracted us to Joanne's cakes most of all were the beautiful sugar flowers she can make which are stunning. She is very talented and really helped us to come up with the cake design from the very beginning. We also ordered some macarons which, together with the wedding cake on the day, Joanne beautifully arranged for us. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and other reasons, we had to re-arrange our wedding multiple times but Joanne was happy to still accommodate us and was very helpful. We arranged our wedding from abroad and she was so helpful in arranging a cake tasting box once we were in Ireland to allow us to decide on the cake flavours in a process which was stress free. We highly recommend her to make your future wedding cake. You will be in very safe hands and will support a small business also. Thank you Joanne!

Myself and Ewen got married back in Sept 2021, I’m just figuring out google review so this one is a little late!All you need to know is that this woman makes excellent cakes!! Joanne was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Our guest numbers kept going up and down due to changing restrictions but Joanne made the whole process very easy and stress free!We opted for a postal tasting box. (Picture attached!) We couldn’t believe how much cake arrived! It was fabulous! Enough for the whole family to get in on the tasting, which was amazing as we couldn’t do much together in the run up to the wedding, so this felt like a really special part of the prep! The decision was so difficult as all the flavours were all delicious!We opted for a mint chocolate biscuit cake, a Guinness chocolate cake and a Victoria sponge for the top layer and they were all incredible. It went down an absolute treat with everyone raving about it!The cake itself was beautiful and Joanne did exactly what we were after, even working with the florist to add fresh flowers to it.Joanne is wonderful, do yourself and favour and book her for your special event! She is a lovely lady with an amazing talent for delicious cakes!

Joanne recently made our wedding cake and it was amazing. We have had guests contact us to ask the flavours because they enjoyed it so much.. I highly recommend the Guinness Chocolate Cake and my husband the Choc Biscuit cake. She was amazing to deal with from start to finish..we can't recommend her highly enough. Joanne made the whole process of choosing our wedding cake enjoyable and stress free. It also looked beautiful on the day

Joanne made us a stunning cake for our wedding day, which was beautifully decorated. More importantly, it was absolutely delicious - and all of our guests agreed. We chose Guinness chocolate, salted caramel, and chocolate whiskey espresso but all of the flavours in the tasting box were great and it was so hard to choose. Joanne was very professional and easy to deal with. She also made a birthday cake for one of the brothers in law, and he was delighted with it. We can't reccomend her enough.
