Tara Tangney, who works as a full-time baker in Muckross House, decided that while temporarily off work due to COVID-19, to make her baking dreams a reaity and set up 'Tara's Baked Bouquets' specialising in handmade floral cupcake bouquets.

They are a tasty alternative to sending flowers and available in a selection of sizes including 7, 12, 19, 24 and 30 cupcakes.

"I'm a baker by trade and have always made home made cakes for family and friends," Tara, who lives in Muckross, told the Killarney Advertiser.

"It's an idea that I have been brewing over for a long time. I work full-time in Muckross House bakery, but as it closed during lockdown I took the opportunity."

The products are stunning and suitable for every occasion from birthdays to baby showers, from new job to a new house, weddings, or simply to say thinking of you or thank you.

"My bouquets are a unique gift made to order for individual's taste and requirements. I am Level 2 Food Hygiene and Allergy Certified, registered and insured. Long term I'd love to have my own bakery."

The annual Killarney Regatta Dance took place on September 25 as rowers, families and supporters came together to celebrate their successful year.

The racing was cancelled in September due to bad weather.

The Killarney Regatta is one of Ireland’s oldest rowing events, having first begun in 1788.

The dance took place at the Killarney Oaks Hotel where there was a lot of excitement and fun. Six rowing clubs, Fossa, Workman’s, St Brendan’s, Commercials, Flesk Valley, and Muckross, came together to celebrate the community and its shared history.

Amelia Counihan was crowned as the Regatta Queen.

The Queen represents the spirit pride and grace of the rowing community and has been a tradition in the club for generations.
