Monkeys Monkeys Monkeys

Monday, September 13th, 2010

Sometimes I wonder how our clients know us so well. Though we love cats and dogs and all animals here, for years we cannot talk about our closest primate without screaming the name. So here we go… MONKEYS!!!

Just like the fact that you can never have just one, here’s a roundup of the varied monkey cakes we’ve made.

Gyruss Arcade Game 40th Birthday Cake

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

I have so many fond memories of going to arcades in the ’80s playing the cool games as they came out. And what’s Rich’s favorite? Gyruss! I brought the Gyruss cake to Rich’s party and heard the guys also remembering their love of the arcades, debating the significance of Gyruss and other breakthrough video games. Was that the first one to come out with stereo sound? I could say that even contemplating things like new stereo sound makes me feel old (I hear that from so many of my friends) but I’d rather say we’ve come a long way, baby.

Kids today are playing Zombie Farm on their iPads, but if you want to make a new 40-years-old feel young again, you’ve gotta break out the old school arcade games. We’re as young as we feel, right?

Happy Birthday, Rich!

Princess Tiana Birthday Cake

Friday, August 20th, 2010

There was so much excitement when Disney unveiled their newest princess in the movie “The Princess and the Frog”. Even though I’m not the girliest girl, I still wanted to see what kind of adventure Princess Tiana would have. It is a Disney movie after all, and they know how to tell a good story.

Tammy sent us a photo of the beautiful princess for Khaliyah’s birthday and Amy made a spectacular cake. Tammy was so impressed with the pregnant belly cake she ordered for a baby shower that she couldn’t help hugging Amy. When I saw the cake I knew that Amy again earned a hug for this one, and a thrilled Tammy did just that. That’s not a requirement when you get your cake, but I could tell by Amy’s shy smile that she was pleased to make Tammy so happy.

Thank you Tammy for your great appreciation! And Happy Birthday Khaliyah!

The Twilight Saga Tiered 12th Birthday Cake

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Have you been bitten by the Twilight bug? I have friends that have read all the books and seen the midnight showings of all the movies. Twilight fans are real superfans, wildly excited when they talk about everything Twilight.

I would have loved seeing all the girls howling over Hailey’s 12th birthday party. They had Edward and Jacob life size cutouts, Twilight Sweethearts candy, Team Edward and Team Jacob pops, and of course, the Twilight cake. You’ll recognize elements of the book covers represented on the cake, except Hailey wanted the picture of Edward and Bella instead of the apple. The sight of Edward and Bella makes up for the missing apple, right?

You know we appreciate receiving these notes after the party from Hailey and her mom:

“I loved my cake and my friends could believe how talented you are ! Thanks for making my 12 th birthday so so special and perfect ! Hugs, Hailey”

“The girls loved the twilight cake ! It was perfect !”

The party looked amazing, totally Twilight. Happy Birthday Hailey!

Daisy Tiered 1st Birthday Cake

Friday, August 13th, 2010

We just made a bunch of baby shower cakes in the spring, but lately we’re making a ton of first birthday cakes. This latest one celebrates Ethan’s milestone first birthday with the Baby Einstein frog, turtle, and duck, and bunch of daisies and stars, and number 1s.

The little animals just make the cake, right? Happy Birthday Ethan!

The Incredible Shrinking Man 40th Birthday Cake

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

I was thrilled we made the cake for my good friend’s 40th birthday party. In Keen’s 39th year he dropped more than a third of his weight! I’ve been calling him “The Incredible Shrinking Man” and I’m probably not the only one because his wife decided that was the perfect design for his cake. He knows that he’s just like the commercials you’ve seen where the man says “I’m 40 and in the best shape of my life.” He has so much to be proud of and he was happy to tell everyone about his success story at his surprise party. He’s even lost a few pounds too many so he could enjoy all the great food that his family made and a slice of his cake–lemon cake with raspberry filling and lemon buttercream. After all of the dieting and faithful exercising, I’m glad he was able to cut loose and enjoy himself at his party.

Happy Birthday Keen! 40 years in and you look great!

Martini 21st Birthday Cake

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

I don’t know about you, but I wasn’t this sophisticated when I turned 21. Jordan celebrated 21 in style with this fun Martini topsy-turvy tiered cake designed like the invitations to the party with artistic martini glasses, diamonds, hearts, and red and yellow baubles.

Happy Birthday Jordan!

Maison Street Tiered 2nd Birthday Cake

Friday, July 16th, 2010

I look at this colorful cheerful cake and can’t help hearing the Sesame Street song in my head. “Sunny day sweepin’ the clouds away. On my way to where the air is sweet. Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Maison Street?” I wonder if that’s how they sang it at the party.

And can you imagine the cute little 2-years-old that received the cake? I love making festive cakes for little kids, remembering what made my childhood special, too.

Happy Birthday Maison! (It’s okay if you’re still singing that song.)

Stylin’ Hello Kitty Birthday Cake

Friday, June 25th, 2010

What do you get for your favorite stylist that loves Hello Kitty? Here’s our Stylin’ Hello Kitty Birthday Cake. Guillermo dropped off a couple big gift boxes to the bakery before his girlfriend’s birthday and asked us to deliver them along with the cake to W’s Salon in Santana Row where Erica works.

Delivering a surprise cake to a stylist, of course Erica was in the middle of cutting a client’s hair. Luckily her client seemed happy to be part of the excitement, and the rest of the ladies gathered around in wonder at her special personalized cake and the thoughtfulness of Erica’s boyfriend.

Happy Birthday Erica!

Tiffany Box Birthday Cake with Holly Golightly Letter

Friday, May 28th, 2010

I can’t believe all the rain we’ve been getting at the end of May here in sunny California. Of course I was wary of the dark clouds threatening to storm on this Tiffany box cake that was delivered to Ann’s Coffee Shop in Menlo Park. I was hoping the rainbow over the hills behind Menlo Park was a good sign because I like rainbows. But knowing they’re only created by light AND water, why was I so hopeful?

Well, I delivered to this coffee shop that looked to be from 50 years ago with the large counter in the middle of the shop taking over most of the space. A few locals appeared to be enjoying their quiet morning of big plates and newspapers. Little did they know I was bringing the cake for a small crowd to celebrate a birthday breakfast.

The Tiffany box came with a special message, “Thank you for joining me for breakfast. Happy Birthday, Linda. Love, Holly Golightly.” I have a feeling the ladies coming to celebrate Linda’s birthday were going to liven up the place and disturb the men’s peace talking about Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I mean, who doesn’t get excited when they see a Tiffany box?! Happy Birthday Linda!

If you could get a letter from a movie character, who would you choose?
