A huge thank you to Ann and Brendan of Celtic Cakes for our marvellous wedding cake.
It was definately one of the talking points of the wedding, especially the uncanny resemblance captured of the bride and groom.
The colours perfectly matched everything else.
Exquisite, including the taste.
Definately top of our list for the next cake requirement. Many many thanks.

Thank you for the beautiful cake you made for us for our wedding.
The design was followed exactly and we were so so pleased with the finished result.
So many people commented on how different and lovely the cake was and the taste was fantastic.
Thank you so much.

Just a quick note to say a big thank you for the beautiful 40th wedding anniversary cake you made for us. When we first saw it we were totally knocked out by the workmanship on the cake. It was just so perfect. You did tell me that the cake could be frozen after our party - no chance, it's nearly all gone and I'm having to ration it so that everyone can have their share! Also many thanks for your help when I ordered the cake and didn't really know how to put my ideas over.

Just a few lines to say a huge thank you for our fabulous wedding cake!!! The cake not only tasted amazing, but looked fantastic too. It was the talking point of the guests and photographed nearly as much as us! It was so great to have such an original design that reflected both our personalities and sporting passions. We wish you every success in the future and cannot recommend you highly enough.

A big thank you to Celtic Cake Studio for our wedding cake. Everyone said the chocolate fudge individual cakes were delicious and those of our guests who know our dog, recognized the figurine dog on the top of the cake as a model of our dog. We are going to keep the figurines of us and the dog as a permanent reminder of the cake and the wedding. We will definitely be recommending Celtic Cake Studio for any type of cake.
Thank you again.

Ann
and Brendan were fantastic, taking time
to listen to exactly what we wanted and
produced the cake perfectly. Being fussy
we changed our mind a few times over things
but Ann and Brendan were fab and made changes
with no fuss. The cake was perfect and everyone
loved the individual cakes & commented
on the delicious fillings.
I am glad i found Celtic Cakes and will
be using them for all occasions in the future...
Birthday's, Anniversaries the lot......
Thank you both you helped make our day perfect!" |

Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say
how wonderful we both thought the cake you
made for us was.
All the guests said how beautiful it was and
how lovely it tasted.
Thanks again |
Andrea & David Fryer - Cardiff

Thank
you both for the wonderful wedding cake
you made for us this summer. The cake not
only tasted lovely, but looked fantastic
too.
It was a real talking point amongst the
guests.
It was so nice to have such an original
design and we are so grateful you encouraged
us to have a cake that reflected our personalities.
You are both really passionate about what
you do and that clearly shines through in
the amazing cakes that you make.
Thank you once again. |
Marina and Steve
 |
Thank
you for the fabulous cake that you made
for us.
We had it all cut up and the guests ate
the lemon first then the carrot cake and
then the chocolate.
We still got some chocolate left which we
are eating with pleasure.
Thanks again for your professionalism in
your growing business.

Maria and Curt - Pontypool
|
Thank
you so much for the wedding cake
The cake was absolutely stunning!
The lemon was my favorite and
Curt loved the Carrot cake!
Everyone commented on how beautifully
decorated it was, thank you so much!
My mother loved her birthday cake too, she
was stunned when we gave it to her and all
sung happy birthday!
|
Mr & Mrs Dowding - Newport
|
Thank
you so much for such a beautiful and very
tasty cake!We were thrilled with the detail and was so
impressed with the outcome. Everyone commented
on how perfect the cake was and how it fitted
well into our colour scheme. The 3 separate
fillings on each tier was such a winner with
the guests and they helped themselves to as
much chocolate, lemon and fruit sponge all
night long! I have already mentioned your
names to a lot of people and would recommend
to you any body any day. You are both very
talented people.
Will be back soon for my next cake,
obviously not a wedding one though!!!!
Thanks again, |

Rhiannon & Paul Hastings - Newport

Thank
you both so much for the time and effort you
put into our cake, we had many positive comments
from our guests; not only about how good it
looked but how nice and tasty it was as well.
Your ideas and suggestions on how I could
incorporate it into my 'James Bond Theme'
were superb and the fact you didn't laugh
when I said I wanted a black and white wedding
cake.
I would thoroughly recommend you to other
people, your service was at all times friendly
and professional.
We will definitely be back for birthday cakes. |
Lisa and Steve Bond - Windsor
 |
Thank you
so much for supplying such a gorgeous chocolate
wedding cake. We had three tiers covered
in white icing with calla lilies and roses
trailing down one side. Absolutely everyone
commented on how lovely it looked and tasted
and I have passed your details on to some
of my friends.
Still got some left in the freezer and I am
trying to make it last.
Best wishes. |
Dawn and Mark

Fantastic
efficient friendly service
with the most yummy tasting moist carrot cake
ever’ |
Tasha & Mark Powell Newport

What
a fab team you make, you helped us design
the wedding cake, which everyone is still
talking about. Having the three different
flavours was just divine. The chocolate fudge
was heaven, the carrot cake delicious and
having the lemon cake for the top tier was
the icing on the cake. Brendan you made the
figures just perfect, just which I imagined.Thank
you for all the help you gave us, we will
be back for birthday cakes I am sure.

Thank
you so much for the fantastic cake for our
wedding,
Our guests were very impressed at the design,
and lots of compliments for the daffodils,
which will make a lovely keepsake.
The cake was very delicious and we hope one
day,
we have another occasion to enjoy your cake,
but in the meantime we shall recommend you
to everyone.
All the best for your business in the future.

Lauren Hopper - Cardiff

Thank
you so much for the wedding cake.
It was even better than I imagined it would
be.
Everyone commented on how amazing it was and
a few children could not stay away from it and
wanted to take the dragon home for themselves.
So thank you for all the
effort you put into it.
I think its your best one yet. It was a huge
talking point of the wedding. |

WOW!!!
Thank you both so much for such a fantastic
cake.
From the very first moment we met you, we
could see how passionate you were about making
our day even more special with your brilliant
talent.
Nothing was too much trouble for you to do
for us.
The cake looked and tasted amazing.
The two policeman on top were a real talking
point.
We have recommended you to our friends.
THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!!Thanks to you both
once again.
Best wishes for the future and I hope business
continues to grow.
kind regards

"After seeing a display window in a Cardiff arcade, I knew I would be calling upon them to make the cake for mine and Jon's fast approaching wedding day. We were looking for something unique and not your traditional flowery wedding cake (although after having seen some of them in the studio, we were very tempted!) Instead of a bride and groom, we wanted something that represented us personally- a kangaroo and dragon. Our relationship has crossed oceans and we thought this was the best way to acknowledge that. Thank god we found Ann and Brendan.
No one could have been more perfect with advising, designing, and agreeing to everything we wanted! I knew the cake was in great hands and the last thing we had to worry about.
It was one of the talking points of the wedding- before it was even tasted!
Ann had great contact with us from our first meeting, and at various points through the months leading up to wedding, and provided us with the dream cake. Not only does Ann cook divine tasting cakes, Brendan creates anything you could think of! To top it all off, they are just lovely people, who understand special occasions.
We can not speak highly enough of them.
Thank you both very much!!" |
Jane & Adam Abergavenny

We just wanted to say a very big thank you for the amazing cake you made for our wedding at the Angel Hotel, Abergavenny on 4th September. It looked stunning (and tasted wonderful!) and was certainly a conversation piece! I've never seen so many photos of a wedding cake - they seem to feature in everyone's pictures (and not even with us cutting it!) We cut it after the service and everyone enjoyed a slice (or two!) with a cuppa and there was plenty left for nibbles in the evening whilst dancing and when people came over to our house the following day. The top tier is in the freezer waiting for another special occasion! The models were amazing .Thank you so much for doing such a good job with the guinea pigs - everyone loved them |
| Simon and Shan |
 |
When a photographer of over 20 years comments that we have won the price for the best cake he has ever seen it puts into perspective how good the cake was. We struggled to gather people at the table such was the interest in taking photographs of the cake, we cant thank Ann and Brendan enough this really was the icing on our special day, thank you.

"Just 1 of the many amazing cakes i've had from these fabulous people! I cant recommend them highly enough.
They taste amazing, the most moist and flavoursome cakes i've ever had!
I cant wait to see my wedding cake in June!! :-)" |
Georgia S.Butetown, Cardiff
My friend got her wedding cake from this shop and not only did it look amazing it also tasted out of this world.
They personalised the cake and even made a sugar coated bouquet that was exactly the same as the one my friend was carrying. I would have gobbled it up if I had the chance but she decided to keep it to show her kiddies when they are older.
I think this was a really nice touch.
They also do a cup cake tower for a wedding cake which I think is awesome!
The children birthday cakes they have on display are something else... from castles to cartoon characters to jungle scenes!
My favourite was the 'Bob the Builder' cake.... this cake is sure to put a smile on any little munchkin's face!
Pop in and see for yourself, Words cannot describe how fantastic this shop really is!
Christopher J.Plasnewydd, Cardiff
I wasn't really planning on reviewing any cake shops... I'm not sure if I can say that much about cakes in general (unless I get started on my friend Jason, who has an unhealthy obsession with cakes) but after seeing the window display,
I just have to say something.
I find it incredible that anyone can make cakes look this good, I mean they're works of art, beautifully crafted and original in concept. I've never really understood people who spend a fortune on wedding cakes and always considered it an unnecessary part of the day, sure, cut a cake, but don't worry about it too much.
I think I've changed my mind after seeing the cakes on offer here, they make you want to buy a cake for any occasion, let alone a wedding! Celtic Cakes makes these treats for christenings, corporate events, weddings and just for novelty value. I'm going to bear it in mind next time I have the opportunity, they look just too good to miss out.
Amanda B.Cardiff
I can't believe the artistry of these cakes.
As you walk on by the shop, you would be likely to confuse it with an art gallery, or that some street performance was going. People peer in through the window and usually block the walk way, causing more people to stop to look at what everyone else is looking at.
In the window are examples of their handiwork and each is flawlessly designed, baked and decorated. I think they would be an excellent contact if you were planning something extravagant for a party or wedding. They could certainly shape or picture anything on top of a sugary cake.
Good on the eyes and yummy.
Jen B.Cardiff
I'm a sucker for sugary delights, so it took a few minutes before I could pry my eyes away from the Celtic Cakes Studio's window display.
Although I can't imagine I'd want a wedding cake adorned with a bride boasting an inflated chest and cheeky grin, thankfully Celtic Cakes Studio offers a wide selection of cakes to suit all tastes and occasions, from baby shoes atop a sheet cake to a massive pair of breasts on an adult-themed number (this is a must-see on their website).
Owner Brendan McCrogan creates bespoke cakes of all sizes using rich fruit cake, Madeira, lemon cake, carrot cake, or chocolate fudge cake. Wedding cakes with several tiers can have more than one flavour.
Celtic Cakes Studio also offers a personal delivery service and wedding-cake set up, making it one less thing you have to worry about on your special day.
Until I've sampled a slice, I'm going to have to stick with a three-star rating (a kudos to tasty creativity), but I'd love to know if they taste as good as they look, as I know a special toddler who'd love a Peppa Pig cake for her next birthday.
Andrew C.Cardiff
This is a shop down an arcade that is fast becoming one of my favourites in Cardiff, Castle Arcade. Particularly because of the peculiar balcony and L-shaped structure, you just feel shut off from everywhere else in the city even though you are simultaneously in the heart of it.
Celtic Cakes is pretty much an art display of amazing cake-related creations. The ability they have of making truly unique and impressive cakes is unmatched by any other service I've come across. They offer a lot of different services including children's cakes, wedding cakes, and, if you're interested, 'adult' creations. They are clearly a talented bunch that can turn their hands to anything, so if you've got a design idea they can almost certainly pull it off.
Rebecca B.Bristol
Wow - this has to be one of the best window-shopping shops around! Full of fabulous cakes with unique designs, the window display shows off some of owner's Brendan McGrogan's latest creations.
It's not every day you're going to be buying a cake on this grand a scale, but it's certainly a place I'll remember for when the occasion arises. From birthday cakes and children's cakes to wedding and anniversary cakes, you can have yours individually designed to meet specific requirements - with sugar decorations, airbrushing techniques, edible photos and so on. From animals to aeroplanes, whatever the recipient is into a design can be made to suit - even cheeky adult-themed cakes for stag and hen celebrations.
Sandra and David Newhook
We just returned from our honeymoon yesterday evening
the wedding was an absolutely stunning day, everything was perfect!!!!
The cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious as well.
The guests especially made remarks about the generous decollete of the bride figure :))
We both loved the gingerbread heart you made .
Many many thanks for such great work!!
Rachel &
Dafydd Dallimore
The wedding went great and the cake was a huge
success.
We were impressed by how long it kept fresh, we
were still eating it a
week later and everyone loved the figures on top.
We are already dreaming up an idea to combine the
2 for our daughters
naming ceremony next year when she arrives.
Thank you for setting it up so beautifully.
Many thanks to you both for your wonderful service
Lisa Lawrence, Newport South Wales
I
highly recommend Celtic Cakes Studio as they are
a professional,
caring and highly skilled family company.
Our wedding venue was held at Caldicot Castle and
they designed a cake
with a medieval knight and princess and amazing
realistic edible flowers
and the taste was very delicious.
Sam Yeoman of Newport
My girls always ask, “Is Brendan making our
cake again”?
Each year Brendan’s cakes are the talk of
the birthday party.
Brendan has lots of ideas, each cake being individual
and imaginative with attention to detail.
The finished product is professional and always
fresh and delicious.
We wouldn't’t get our cakes from anywhere
else.
Kath
& Matthew Hall, Newport
We approached
Celtic Cakes Studio knowing that we wanted a beach
theme cake.
We were thrilled with the final result which complemented
our wedding party perfectly.
We also purchased a cake for our son who wanted
a Dr Who theme.
He was so chuffed with it that he refused to eat
the darleks and kept them instead.
Stephanie
& Marc Andrews - Abertridwr
We were
extremely pleased with our Celtic Wedding Cake,
and the design was everything we wished for and
more.
What made it extra special was everyone of the three
different flavour cakes were delicious and everyone
commented on how wonderful it was.
Many thanks.
Shirley
Carroll - Newport
I approached
Celtic Cakes Studio for my son and daughter in laws
wedding cake
and not only did the cake look lovely,
it also tasted gorgeous. Service was excellent throughout.
Alex
Bradshaw - Newport
Really
pleased with the Noah's Ark Cake, everyone thought
the animals were ornaments as they looked so realistic.
My friends could not believe they were made of sugar
paste.
The cake tasted as good as it looked.
Mrs
Brooks - Newbridge
The 25th
wedding anniversary cake you made for my son and
daughter in law looked lovely and tasted fantastic.
There were loads of enquiries at the party, which
needless to say, we passed on all your details.
I am glad that I chose you and hope you get loads
more orders. Kind Regards.
Rachel
Josty - High Cross Newport
We were
thrilled to bits with both cakes, and even though
we asked for the impossible (blue tit and cycling
falling off bike), we were overwhelmed with the
results. They not only tasted superb, they were
the talking point of the party. I will definitely
recommend Celtic Cakes to all my friends and family.
Julie
Pocock - Newport
I was
very pleased with my boys two cakes of a gym and
footballer, they were of very high standard and
cleverly made. They were also the talk of the party
and everyone was impressed. I would not go anywhere
else and in fact have recently ordered another cake.
Jane
Studley - Newport
We've
all heard of "Exceedingly Good Cakes",
but with "Celtic Cakes", we had individuality
and a unique design, no matter what the occasion.
Joanne
Probert, Newport
Can
I say that I have always been happy with the cakes
from Celtic Cakes and will never go anywhere else.
I always recommend there cakes to all my family
and friends, and when I phone them with an idea,
I am never disappointed with the results .I have
ordered yet another cake for my friends wedding
which I am taking to North Yorkshire. Thank you
so much for making finding the "right"
cake so easy.
Stacey
Mattelle, Newport
I cant
recommend Celtic Cakes Studio enough. I have had
quite a few cakes from them over the last few years
and they have all looked amazing, tasted great but
most of all are always the talk of the party. Each
cake has been quite different and in the least challenging
but each time Celtic Cakes has risen to the challenge
and exceeded my expectations.
Nothing is beyond the very talented Brendan McGrogan!
Don't
believe me .... then try them yourself, you will
not be disappointed. I have even booked them for
my wedding in 2008 as I know they were the ones
to make my dream cake
Suzanne Hinton - Newport
Everything
was fantastic from beginning to end.
Really thrilled with my wedding cake, everyone complimented
the cake how beautiful it looked and also tasted
.
Corinne
O'Connor - London
The wedding cake was absolutely
fabulous, and I cant tell you how much I loved the
design It was especially great since we had not
really worked from any photos or existing cakes
just gone with a vibe and your suggestions.
Brendan did an amazing
job and regarding the taste, several people commented
that it was actually quite unusual for an entire
wedding cake to get devoured on the night
(especially as one was gluton free chocolate cake)
as usually there is always some left over.
So all around, the cake
went down an absolute treat.
Thanks again to you and Brendan for making it beautiful
and delicious.
K Edmunds &
L Freeman
We got in touch
with Celtic Cakes just weeks before our wedding
in Newport
and with the fact that we live in Jersey we were
quite concerned if we
would have a cake at all. Anne and Brendan are so
professional and
talented in their cake making and we were delighted
to see the finished
result of our luggage cake with a Welsh dragon and
Jersey cow sleeping at
the bottom. Our cake was so unique to us and Brendan
and Anne really made it special.
The three flavours were absolutely gorgeous and
everyone commented on how
good the chocolate and fruit layers tasted.
Thanks so much
Mrs M Cockeram
- Newport
Ann and Brendan
have never ever failed with my cake requests.
They are always to a very high standard and exactly
what I requested even when I come across a bit vague.
Whatever the occasion, Celtic Cakes Studio is where
I shop first when a cake is required, but please
don't just rely on my opinion, check them out for
yourself you wont be disappointed
Simon
& Veronica Thomas, Malpas Newport
Huge thank you for
the three cakes you supplied for the naming ceremony,
40th & 50th birthday celebrations on the 25th
August 2007.
All three cakes were absolutely delicious and looked
fabulous.
The delicacy and artistry of all decorations on
the cakes were greatly admired.
Well done also for the personal service we received.
You made us feel special and we felt that no query
was too small for you to answer.
We will dementedly recommend you to others and are
looking forward to any celebrations when we can
ask you to provide another cake.
Thank you very much
M Evans - Cardiff
Mum was overwhelmed
of the quality of design and the craftsmanship involved
in both the fruit flower cakes (not forgetting the
excellent tasted of the cakes)
She was extremely pleased with them. Many
thanks for helping us out with this order.
We are really grateful to you both for helping to
make mums day very special.
Karen Paget
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say a
big thank you for our wedding cake. It was perfect,
even though I originally didn't know what I wanted.
You were both very helpful in working out what I
was after and the end result was wonderful. Brendan's
flowers were exquisite - I still find it hard to
believe they're not real when I look at them. And
the rugby player cake toppers were great. They got
plenty of comments from our guests! The cakes tasted
as good as they looked too.
I will have no hesitation in recommending your services
to anyone and I certainly know where to come if
I need a cake again.
Thanks again.
Damita Stathakis
I ordered a 60th
chocolate birthday cake with flowers on this weekend.
Thanks for quite possibly making the best cake we
have ever had.
It was decorated exactly as I imaged and the sponge
was perfectly moist.
We were all very happy and my mum loved it too.
I will definitely recommend you too my friends,
Thanks again.
Sue Bailey Bridgend
Thank you so much
for making such a beautiful cake for Morgan, he
absolutely loved it and so did his friends and their
parents in the party yesterday. Morgan doesn't’t
usually eat cake, BUT he ate this one.!!!
I’ll calling you again in May for a 30th birthday.!!
Claire Priestley
- Newport
Well, I'd just like
to say thank you so much for the cake. Everyone
thought it was amazing - even the hotel maitre 'd
said he'd never seen anything like it before!!!
And I have never tasted a cake so moist and yummy,
I don't know how to describe it!
Thank you thank you thank you!
