CBS 5 Eye on Blogs

Friday, September 26th, 2008

I’ve just recently discovered blogging communities and blogs on blogs when I found this! Brittney Gilbert from Eye on Blogs on cbs5.com writes about local blogs and posted a review of the AJ’s Moonlight Bakery blog. We’ve been excited about the reviews we’ve received from our clients, and now this is great to get a local plug for the blog on cbs5.com.

Cute!: Charming San Jose Cake Blog

Posted by brittneygilbert

Reader Mary Pascual alerted me to an incredibly delightful blog out of the Bay Area’s largest city, San Jose. Y’all, it’s a cake blog. Instantly enamored, aren’t you? It was set up by a bakery called AJ’s Moonlight Bakery, and they do incredible work. They document their delectable, edible projects on the blog, and give a little backstory about each.

Check out the First Unitarian Church Flaming Chalice Celebration Cake, the Deluxe Scrabble Board Cake, and Tweedledum and Tweedledee Sweet 16 cake to see works of the works of art. This blog is a great example of a business using the medium of blogging to market itself in a highly effective way. Seriously, now I’m craving cake.

Sweet!

The Weirdgirl added an AJ’s Moonlight Bakery button to the few shops she supports on her blog.

As a growing small business, we greatly appreciate the support and promotion we receive from our clients and friends. The Weirdgirl actually ordered our first cake, so her repeat orders, feedback, and plugs help us know that we’re on the right track with our cakes.

Her son has received Disney’s Little Einstein’s Rocket Cake and the Pump It Up Cake for his special birthdays, and her good friend received the Baby Blocks with Lamb Cake.

Best Wedding Cake Bakery Nomination

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

We were just contacted by KRON 4, a local TV station, to hear that AJ’s Moonlight Bakery has been nominated as one of the Best Wedding Cake Bakeries in the Bay Area. This is an extreme honor to be recognized for our work and to be nominated.

While most of the cakes we make are sculpted decorated cakes, we have only made a few tiered cakes. Our clients have requested styles that show off their personality, not the traditional classic style. We look forward to the opportunity to decorate classic tiered cakes and all types of unique designs to earn this honor.

Cakes are a lot of fun to decorate. Then we deliver them and many times hear people tell us that they don’t want to cut into the sculpture, the character, or the scene that was created for them. Luckily there are pictures of the details that make their cake unique. That’s the reason for this blog.

The cakes are delicious, so dive right in. Then come here to remember what was your special cake.

We also want to send a special note to all of our family and friends who have been incredibly supportive. Your enthusiasm for the finished decorated cakes and tastings have been wonderful.
