Modern
Not quite traditional, intentionally so.
The Cakish approach keeps the airy elegance people associate with pavlova while reworking the shape, styling, and occasion into something more contemporary.
Our Story
A modern take on a timeless dessert.
Every pavlova leaves the kitchen with a name on the box.
Cakish is a small home bakery based in Wicklow, Ireland. We handcraft modern pavlovas — built on a crisp meringue base, layered with Dulce de Leche or Nutella, finished with hand‑piped cream and fresh seasonal fruit.
What began as a passion for creating beautiful centrepieces for family gatherings has grown into a small, dedicated bakery. We take a limited number of orders each week to ensure every pavlova receives full attention.
What makes Cakish different
Refined
Designed to sit beautifully on the table.
Soft neutrals, floral detailing, and restrained presentation help each piece feel graceful, elevated, and quietly celebratory.
Meaningful
Made for occasions people remember.
From intimate birthdays to family celebrations, each order is positioned as part dessert, part centrepiece, and part gesture.
Meet the Maker
“Every meringue is piped by hand, one at a time.”
Cakish started in a small Wicklow kitchen, piping pavlovas for family birthdays and the occasional wedding. A few friends asked for one. Then a few more. Then strangers.
The model is deliberately small. A limited number of orders each week, each one handcrafted from a single meringue base, a single bowl of cream, a single arrangement of fruit chosen that morning.
Every pavlova leaves the kitchen with a note about its ingredients and a name on the box.
