Custom cakes are a little tricky at the moment because we have limited capacity in the bakery. The best way to personalise your custom theme cake is with one of our Thunders Picture Perfect Cakes because you can upload the image you want on your cake for edible printing. We also have some great celebration cake creations such as Thunders ‘Bring on the Glitz’ or Showstopper Drip cakes. If you can’t find something on the menu that you like, please click the “Request a Quote” button here https://thundersbakery.ie/request-quote/ we’ll put our extra creative hats on and see what we can conjure up especially for you.
Cakes are available for collection from 9.30am daily. Please do not arrive earlier without prior arrangement.
Your cake will be delivered to your local Thunders from the bakery in Drumcondra. It’ll take our retail team some time to accept and confirm that all cakes are as they should be.
Please note, Saturdays can be busy, and it’s always a good idea to call ahead to confirm your cake is ready for collection.

Oooh decisions, decisions — one slice per person or da ya want seconds?
Here’s a portion guide for you
Well we don’t have a specific diabetic cake as part of our menu, but as we have diabetics on our team, we like to ensure they’re included too. They all agree that it’s sooo much better to have a little taster slice of the real mccoy than something that has been stripped of its natural deliciousness because nobody likes Mowldy.
Well how long is a piece of string? That depends on what you order, so to give you a bit of a guide:
Thunders Swirly Strawberry Gateau or Fluffy Fresh Fruit Gateau: +1 day from purchase if you put it straight into the fridge
Thunders Whoop Whoop Vanilla Buttercream: +2 days from purchase if you keep it unrefrigerated in the box. If it’s fryin 20ºC plus degrees outside, then you need to treat it like fresh cream and put it in the fridge.
We recommend that you eat your cake on the day of your celebration because its freshness really depends on how you store it!
Sure there’s a grand stretch in every day, so each of our bakeries and cafés has their own opening hours. Visit our Locations page to find the opening hours for the bakery or café nearest to you.
Oooh Yes! Are ye for real? We have an e-voucher from €20 – €300 which is redeemable online only.
Gift cards are no longer available to buy over the counter.
We don’t recommend freezing cake, but some of Our Customers have told us they have sliced up left over cake and put it in the freezer for later!
