The Airyfairy Cake Company in Manchester

This young lady makes the most beautiful sponge I have ever tasted all the celebrations cakes we have had have looked superb and tasted amazing, will continue to order from here couldn't think of a better place to buy from, delious, beautiful cakes!

Beautiful cakes, this lady has bakes me cakes previously for my daughter's birthdays and they've always been gorgeous!

We had afternoon tea here following a recommendation from a friend, the selection was really good and all home made and we had more than enough to eat and as we are not real fans of cupcakes they were the only thing we left but we couldn't have eaten them anyway. Good price for Manchester, the service was friendly and the place is really warm and welcoming, the staff were all lovely. Really enjoyed trying one of the smaller places in Manchester as we usually go to Richmond Tea Rooms or one of the big hotels.

The service was very good, friendly and efficient. The selection of cakes and sandwiches was good. What we were a little disappointed with was the actual level of tidiness. The floor was a bit grubby and covered in crumbs. Regular sweeping would have made a big difference. Overall, an enjoyable experience but with a little bit more care it would have been much better.

We visited yesterday and much enjoyed our afternoon tea. Their was a good choice of sandwiches and the cakes were delicious. There was so much to eat that we accepted the offer of a "doggy bag" to take the surplus home. The lady running it was extremely pleasant and helpful. The premises are small, so you would be wise to book ahead. Free parking in the area is possible, but you need to give yourself time to find a spot!

We were given a voucher for tea for two for Xmas, to be used on our travels round the UK. We wanted somewhere different and quaint, and we found it. Lovely tea room with very attentive staff, the cakes and sandwiches were freshly make and absolutely yummy. Highly recommended, we will return next time we are in the area

We visited for the first time on Saturday for Afternoon tea as a birthday treat. The boutique itself is lovely and the food was brilliant. The staff were all warm, friendly and very welcoming. Our afternoon tea featured so many sandwiches, 5 cakes and two scones each! All the food was delicious and the tea supply was never ending. In the end we couldn't finish it all. We were defeated but the remaining goodies were packaged up for us to enjoy at home. Excellent place, we'll definitely be back.

I took my Husband and his Mum here today for Afternoon tea. Loved the venue, the staff were lovely too. Great choice of sandwiches and the cakes were beautiful. We were too stuffed to finish so they kindly boxed up what we didn't finish to take home :) we will definitely go back.

Amazing Afternoon Tea....cakes galore! The mini brownies were devine, and lucky enough to bring a yummy box of treats home that we couldn't quite fit in! Definately be back in the new year for more deliciousness! Thanks to Laura and the team X

The most delicious afternoon tea I've ever had! The cakes and sandwiches are so delicate and tasty. There is such a wide variety of teas to try too and being gluten free it can be tricky to find somewhere to cater to my needs! Thanks to all the team I'll definitely be back! :)

Lovely afternoon at Airyfairy Cake Boutique! Cakes were amazing, unlimited tea, and friendly staff. Will be coming back soon!

Ordered a lemon birthday-cake, at very short notice, for my husbands 60th birthday and could not have been more delighted. The cake looked fabulous and tasted marvellous. The lady who served me was extremely helpful. Would definitely buy from Airyfairy again.

Great sandwiches cakes and scones - yummy. Great selection of teas. Friendly and attentive staff. The only downside was mustard on the ham sandwiches but that's a personal dislike. Will be back :-)

A friend had found out about this place and booked me and 2 other friends in for the afternoon tea which is on offer through oct/nov i believe, it may have been dull grey and raining outside but walking into the shop was like a bright warm summers day the decor is lovely the aroma of sweet smelling cake welcomed us along with a friendly faced lady we were seated and asked what drinks we would like we were told these were unlimited during our stay a few mins after the drinks arrived our food arrived and what a sight freshly made assorted finger sandwiches, mini cupcakes, victoria sandwich, brownies, millionaire shortbread along with plain & fruit scones jam and clotted cream beautifully presented on china cake stands, i thought the place would have been a lot busier with it being half term but there was only 1 other full table so it was nice to be able to chat and enjoy the atmosphere, we all had refils of tea and coffee before heading off, another 2 parties arrived as we were leaving as i was hoping to buy some cakes to bring home but the lady was a bit busy, i will definitely return, they also offer childrens parties and baby showers etc well worth a visit in my opinion :-)

Just returned from a lovely afternoon tea at Airyfairy and what a little gem it is. Nice selection of sandwiches, lovely cakes and scones in a delightful setting, great. Then there's a large selection of cakes and scones to take home with just one problem, which ones do I take as they all look so scrummy. Service might have been a bit slow as the lady was on her own with all the tables full but the food certainly made up for it, go on, indulge yourself and take the time for a lovely tea.

Went today with my friend for afternoon tea. Greeted by a very pleasant young lady who explained what we would be eating/drinking. There was an extensive choice of teas but we had the Twinings English breakfast tea which came in a huge teapot with plenty...

Really lovely chintzy decor, and a very nice afternoon tea. Generally a very sweet spot to enjoy cake n tea.

We stumbled across Airyfairy whilst we were looking for birthday party ideas. I took my soon to be 7year old daughter down for a cake and a look around to see what she thought and we booked her party there and then. Whilst we were...

Yes it was nice to have someone else doing it for you, but no one met us promptly on arrival, my girlfriend felt it wasn't that clean, it took an age to get bill/pay/leave. Food was ok but nothing special. Memorable for all the wrong...

I went for afternoon tea in Tuesday. My daughter bought a voucher for £24 but afternoon tea was only £20. Is this actually allowed?? We arrived and were served tea. When our afternoon tea came the portions were certainly not as big as applebys in...

Love this place. Teen son demands cakes, the tea, decor and food are always top notch. They also seem full of ideas. Worth a visit for the decor and the vibe - 1950 and 2015 in one go.

Came here for tea and cakes with my friend. We're both amateur bakers and felt that we could've made the cupcakes ourselves. The cookies cupcake and the chocolate cupcake were rather dry and the icing a bit too wet. The coffee cake was marvellous though,...

Really enjoyed my visit - a very down to earth relaxed atmosphere with a touch of class without being pompous or elitist - a perfect area to socialise with friends and colleagues. Very laid back atmosphere with a great selection of cakes and drinks. Not...

Can't recommend enough! Service was excellent given such a choice of teas and advised what the sandwiches were in case didn't like those. Felt very relaxed and not rushed at all. There was plenty of food too much for the two of us. I've had...

Second visit to Airy Fairy and we were just as pleased as first time around. Neither my daughter nor I like cheese and the sandwiches were changed without any fuss. Too much to eat (again!) so lovely cakes to take home. Smiley staff despite the...

I have nothing but good to say about Airyfairy Cakes Boutique. The food is first class and the service is excellent. If you are ever close to Didsbury well worth a visit, even if not that close worth travelling to.

Had a wonderful time at Airyfairy. The service was great, and the afternoon tea was delicious; the scones & cakes are definitely worth a visit. We were served by Laura (the owner) who was incredibly helpful and made sure our experience was perfect. Many thanks!

Popped in a number of times and on numerous occasions I have found the staff very unfriendly and unenthusiastic and the cupcakes to be of limited variety and very very dry! As a very small local business, I believe they would benefit greatly from a...

I visited here with an online voucher which I have sometimes found can result in staff being a little 'off' with you, but not here. We were having a chocolate lovers afternoon tea. The deco and music are delightful, the staff were friendly, attentive but...

We visited here for Afternoon Tea and it was a delight. The place is visually stunning, particularly with all of the Christmas decorations and the old fashioned music (such a change from the radio blaring out). We received a warm welcome and a chatty waitress...

A friend and I visited for afternoon tea, which we thoroughly enjoyed & would highly recommend. The vintage decor and china teacups, saucers & sideplates enhanced the experience. The food was plentiful - freshly made delicious finger-sandwiches, home-made cake selection including scones with jam &...

I probably wouldn't have found this place if I wasn't such a fan of looking up places on-line to go as it's not on the main street and I was just killing some time before meeting a friend. Really lovely though, just what I was...

Really yummy cakes and other goodies and a lovely family friendly atmosphere. Cannot recommend highly enough, definitely one to check out!

Yesterday I went to Airyfairy with a couple of friends for a girly chat and some tasty treats. I must say that the difficulty was which delicious cake to choose from the array on offer. We all finally decided on one and I opted for...

Beautiful shop, beautiful looking cakes but dry as a bone! I have previously been to Airy Fairy when it first opened and had experienced dry cakes, I hadn't been back because of this. I decided to give them another try today and purchased a chocolate...
