1998 Porsche GT1 Race Car Cake

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

The sporadic rainy season has begun, and our cakes don’t fit into the standard pink bakery box. We were lucky to deliver this 1998 Porsche GT1 cake to Spencer’s at the DoubleTree Hotel that has a covered valet entrance.

The 1998 Porsche GT1 cake was decorated to look like the Mobile 1 race car. For the birthday boy, the flags were changed to Portugese flags. This fast car also has the Porsche logo, swirling paint lines, and Micheline tires. We should all be lucky enough to get a race car on our birthday.

When we deliver cakes before anyone from the party arrives, we’re always anxious to hear how the cake was received.

*******************************************************
OMG, I can’t even explain how beautiful the cake turned out and how excited I was when I saw the look on my husband’s face, he was so excited so surprised. Nobody wanted to cut the cake because it was just so beautiful. You did a awesome job. I am very thankful for all your help and if anybody ever needs a custom cake you better believe I am going to recommend you.

Thanks again,

Mariela

Through the Years Birthday Cake

Through the Years Custom Birthday Cake

AJ’s wife celebrated her 40th birthday with a cake that’s all about her. AJ (yes, we love the name) called us with the request to bring his wife, Jennie, back through the decades of her lifetime so far. The years were showcased on three cake tiers made of almond cake and almond buttercream, lemon poppyseed cake and lemon buttercream, and chocolate cake and chocolate buttercream.

From hospital and baby carriage to Prince and leggings to Mustang, to home and family and fireworks, Jennie has had quite a life already. The message from her husband reads, “It’s only going to get better.”

Delivering the cake, we were there to see our birthday gal and her family surrounding the cake. They excitedly pointed out their dalmation, the “Taco Bell”, the earthquake cake, the camping trailer, and other pieces of Jennie’s life that they saw on the cake. Personalized by her husband, they were all enjoying the cake trip down memory lane.

AJ was so sweet to his wife to give her a personal birthday cake. Then he sent this wonderful letter to us.

Amy,
Thank you for a fantastic cake. You took all my ideas and fit them in to the cake beautifully. It told my wifes life story from the bottom to the top. My wife was so surprised when you brought the cake in. I thought she was going to cry as she tried to take in all the different aspects of the cake. It was a hit all night , all our family and friends loved the cake and had a great time trying to figure out the story and all the different figures. My daughters kept the dalmatian and the mustang, they are sitting in our fridge. Everyone loved the 21st birthday earthquake cake, the family loved the flags, and the colors were beautiful. We sang ‘happy birthday’ my wife blew out the candles and it took 20 minutes before she talked herself into cutting such a beautiful cake. Then we got to eat the cake, I love chocolate but the lemon poppy seed was great. Luckily for me that was the largest tier and the only tier with some left over. I’m still eating a sliver a night to this day.

Thank you again for all your hard work, it was greatly appreciated.

AJ

We’re glad everyone enjoyed the cake, AJ. (We have the best clients!)

Diamond Castle Cake with Disney Princesses

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

Do you remember how excited you would get knowing that your birthday was coming? Rylie has been to a few parties with our cakes, so she knew she could get whatever cake she wanted for her birthday. Just a couple weeks ago for Halloween, this birthday gal was a princess. So it’s no surprise that she asked for a castle cake with all of the Disney princesses.

Draped over four tiers of devil’s food cake with chocolate cream cheese icing is the multi-colored fondant that Rylie requested. And the cake was amazing to see as the party room lights were dimmed at Pump It Up, Jr. Then everyone could really see the rainbow lights that dotted the castle. We’re so glad to make your princess dream come true for your special day.

Sponge Bob Square Pants Birthday Cake

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Sponge Bob would have quite the ego if he showed up at Jonathan and Anthony’s birthday party. Sponge Bob’s image was everywhere–the tablecloths, balloons, a gigantic bouncer, and even little Anthony’s crocs. Then we showed up with the Sponge Bob Square Pants cake that the family wouldn’t stop staring at, as if that was the only Sponge Bob that showed up to this party.

Thanks go the Gerrie and Amy for printing a picture of Sponge Bob for us when our computer went down for a day. Even their little girl, Rylie, helped by drawing a picture for us. Thanks Rylie!

Now we can stop saying “I’m a goofy goober, yeah!” Yes, we’ve seen many Sponge Bob cartoon episodes AND the movie.

********************************************************
Jonthan and Anthony’s mom sent a great letter the next day:

Vote Roger Study for President

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Today is a great day for many Americans to get involved in the political process to decide who will become our next President. Earlier today a proud mama celebrated a great day for her son that happens on this day every year.

We delivered this patriotic cake to Roger’s party at a great bowling alley in Cupertino called Strike Cupertino. If you haven’t seen what a cool hangout this party site could be, you’re missing out.

Roger’s mom asked for this Vote Roger Study for President Cake as a great tribute to her son on his birthday. Maybe this is the just the first time that we’ll hear his name in such great honor.
