The Fox & The Flour
Is the story of how a shared college module, a leap of faith, and a chance encounter in a coffee shop turned out to be the perfect recipe for a bakery.
The Beginning
The Fat Fox first opened its doors in September 2016 on a quiet side street in Dublin 8. What began as a small city cafe quickly became known for its obsession with quality coffee, good food, and community spirit a little slice of Greystones brought to the city.
Fast forward a few years, The Fat Fox has grown into a specialty coffee roastery, cafe, and drive-thru based in Delgany and Greystones, proudly serving our local community every day.
Out of this love for craft and connection came The Fox & The Flour, our bakery dedicated to creating elegant, timeless cakes that bring people together.
The Bakery
Nestled behind The Fat Fox in Greystones, The Fox & The Flour is where creativity meets craftsmanship. Every cake is designed, baked and finished in our small bakery by a passionate team who believe that the details make all the difference,from the flavour pairings to the final flourish of buttercream.
We specialise in modern, romantic buttercream cakes. Whether that’s an ultra-smooth three-tier wedding showpiece or a simple, beautifully textured celebration cake. Every element is made from scratch, using local, free-range eggs, Irish butter, Belgian chocolate, and seasonal fruits. We use Swiss meringue buttercream for its silky finish and subtle sweetness, and our signature style often includes fresh flowers, gold leaf, and natural tones that feel both luxurious and effortless.
Our designs are inspired by nature, art, and the couples we work with. From vintage piped Lambeth-style cakes to clean, modern minimalism, each creation is tailored to reflect your story and your celebration.
Every cake begins with a conversation about your wedding, your style, your favourite flavours. From there, we guide you through tastings, design, and all the details that ensure your cake not only looks exquisite but tastes unforgettable.
We take enormous pride in the craft behind every tier, from sourcing ingredients to delivering your cake safely to its final destination. It’s a process built on care, creativity, and a love for what we do.
