Transforming the Style Emporium Unit on Grattan Street in Sligo into a festive haven, Mc G Cakes’ pop-up shop radiates enchantment, nestled beside the Record Room and across from Cordners shoes. Themed “Discover the magic,” this whimsical wonderland invites customers to witness the allure of Christmas through a captivating village window, where trains rhythmically chug along the tracks, weaving a tale of festive enchantment.
As visitors step inside, the magic intensifies with a delightful Santa letterbox for children to post their Christmas letters, each letter receiving a reward of cookie, candy cane, and a bag of reindeer food to sprinkle out on Christmas eve —an endearing touch from the Mc G Cakes team.
Within the pop-up’s confines, a treasure trove of handmade delights awaits, ranging from indulgent Kinder cookie sandwiches to the nostalgic warmth of homemade mince pies, ensuring there’s a festive treat to suit every palate. The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail create an atmosphere where the spirit of Christmas is not just observed but felt, making Mc G Cakes a must-visit destination for those seeking the true magic of the season.
Beyond the enchanting offerings, Mc G Cakes extends its charm to corporate gifting, providing tailored solutions for staff or clients nationwide. The pop-up shop, a beacon of festivity, continues to welcome visitors until Christmas eve, accepting the Love Sligo gift card to enhance the season of giving.
For those planning ahead, an in-store order form simplifies the process of securing favourite treats for a Christmas week collection, ensuring that the joy of Mc G Cakes can be savoured at home during the festive season. Moreover, the magic of Mc G Cakes transcends the pop-up shop, as their coffee bar, Hatch22, in Ballintogher, opens its doors every weekend until Christmas, offering specialty espresso and a tempting array of Mc G Cakes treats.
Looking ahead to 2024, Mc G Cakes will launch The Cake Academy, an exciting venture where both beginners and professionals can learn the art of cake decorating from Brian, a seasoned expert with over a decade of industry experience. Stay tuned for more details on this upcoming sweet haven, as Mc G Cakes continues to weave its magic in the world of confectionery.
