Hello!

And welcome to a little chat on how Sweetie Pie came to be…

Pinterest is originally to blame for Jenny Gleeson’s cake career.

Armed with curiosity and determination, she created the first of many hundreds of cakes in 2015. Having taking redundancy from a career in corporate event management in 2013 to be with her two young boys, she has continuously honed her craft through hours of practice, improve, repeat. Every birthday, christening, and wedding (or any other celebration) cake gets a lot of love.

Jenny has found a real passion for creating unique and colourful buttercream centrepieces - in particular the detailed Lambeth or ‘vintage’ style of decorating. A Sweetie Pie signature cake is fun, slick and colourful. But Jenny holds the strong belief that cake is fundamentally for eating, and the dedication to quality has seen Sweetie Pie’s loyal customers return year after year.

Jenny’s passion for top notch ingredients means she makes her own purees, salted caramel, curds and fillings, and only uses the best of the best for everything – Irish butter, Belgian chocolate and cocoa, Madagascan vanilla. She even imports sprinkles from Canada, just cos they’re THE best.

Jenny has built a stellar reputation for creating exceptional and delicious centrepieces. She hails from Dublin’s southside where she still lives with her two teenage boys. She’s also a sea addict, an 80’s power ballad enthusiast, has a deep love for all things colourful, and tends to overuse exclamation marks!!!
