    Hi,

    Going to a family get together this afternoon, and looking to bring a nice cake, buns or something nice with me. Any recommendations for somewhere in South Dublin I could pick something up?? Thanks

    The Natural Bakery do amazing cakes and have branches on the south side of the city and county. You're more likely to get advice in the relevant regional forum though so I'll move this thread to Dublin County South.

    Moved from Cakes & Bakes.

    I've got really bad cakes there before and wouldn't recommend them.

    Supervalu Blackrock takes some beating.

    Agree about NBC, not great.

    Good to know. I must have just been lucky the time I had cakes from there.

    Same here, was not impressed with NBC, too much icing and tasted quite synthetic

    NBC too sickly and dry for my liking, and overpriced!

    Hey, thanks for the replies, picked up something in NBC, which worked out okay, but always good to know for the future.

    Too late now, but for future reference one of the nicest cakes I ever had was a chocolate ganache from donnybrook fair.

    they do 3 sizes.

    +1 to this.

    In fact, any Supervalu that used to be a Superquinn generally has a pretty good bakery/cake section.

    Thomas's in Foxrock do gorgeous 8" cakes that look and taste as if you'd made them yourself.

    I haven't tried an NB cake.

    I love going to a boulangerie in France and buying my various breads - which are handled & handed to me by the staff.

    I thought that NB would give me the same experience - was completely turned off by seeing everyone handle the various breads while trying to decide.


    I know the same happens in supermarket bakeries but I had high hopes for NB.
