TODAY IS ROALD Dahl Day – and what better way to celebrate the brilliant author than with some sweet treats?

Cake Dahls, an exhibition of cakes inspired by the author, is on at The Ark in Dublin’s Temple Bar today and tomorrow.

The exhibition was dreamed up by baker Niamh Geraghty of Perfectionist Confectionist, who selected the best creations from cake makers all over Ireland.

Here is a small selection of the fantastic cakes on show.
