Jerry turned 50 in style with a tribute to his Hawaiian culture at Dave & Busters in San Jose with Hawaiian music, entertainment, and a feast for many guests. His Hawaiian birthday cake has palm trees, pineapples, hibiscus flowers, and a surfer riding the waves.
Happy 50th Birthday Jerry!

Shiny numbers atop a cute topsy turvy cake declare that someone special is turning 26. With silver stars, and colorful baubles and dots, this cake already looks like it’s dressed and dancing at the party.
We love to hear what our clients think of their cakes:

Mary’s 60th birthday was celebrated at the wine cellar of Wente Vineyard in Livermore. If you haven’t been there, you’re missing a beautiful setting for wine tasting and great music.
We learned that Mary and her daughter, Sheri, both love traveling and cake. Sheri chose the Louis Vuitton cake made of red velvet, and we knew that would be the perfect gift from daughter to mother. You can’t leave your favorite purse at home when looking for great cake!
The Louis Vuitton purse cake has a copy of In Style magazine with a wish, “Happy 60th Birthday Mary!” A message from her daughter on her iPod reads “60 Rocks”. Also on the pink and gold tiles are the Louis Vuitton coin purse and charms.
Happy Birthday Mary!

Groom’s cakes are becoming increasingly popular at weddings. Most people remember the red velvet armadillo groom’s cake for Julia Roberts’ wedding to Dylan McDermott in Steel Magnolias. Today’s groom’s cakes are still often playful gestures of love from the bride to the groom, though that can take any form.
Lisa married her policeman at the East Ridge Golf Club in Gilroy last weekend. She provided many pictures of her fiance (at the time) and his police car so that we knew all of the details of the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor to make his groom’s cake. We couldn’t resist adding the blue and red lights that really bring a police car to life. Now we’re wondering what other cakes could use a light.

California is not only a destination for vacations and honeymoons, but also weddings. So when a couple comes from Rhode Island to get married, of course their 1969 Volkswagon Bug comes with them.
We received a picture of the exact car to make, including their license plate. The car was sculpted out of coconut cake with coconut buttercream into the classic VW Bug shape.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a Rhode Island plate, but when a specific element is requested, we study it to get the details just right. Can you see the light blue wave in the license plate?

My dream boat is a sailboat that I can take in the bay, under the Golden Gate bridge, and out to the ocean. Robert’s dream boat is the Fleming 55 Yacht.
We brought this cake to Robert’s birthday party through the busy streets of Santana Row up to the Cielo Restaurant and Bar on the top of Hotel Valencia. It’s so much fun walking with a showstopper cake, seeing the surprise and amazement on people’s faces, and hearing the recognition that we’re carrying a cake like what they’ve seen on the Food Network’s Ace of Cakes. The comparison is an absolute honor.
Robert’s other love is the barbeque. Robert is the captain of the BBQ and the “Hungwah” yacht at his birthday party adventure cruise. Happy Birthday!
Betty Boop comes to life in cake with her faithful dog, Pudgy. This cake was presented to Richard and his sweetheart on their lucky wedding day, 8/8/08, the day that they embraced a life of infinity together.
People get in car accidents. They spend time worrying about it, picking up the broken pieces, mending what can be mended, and finally trying to forget about the whole thing. And then your friends decide there’s no reason to just let it go.
“We got your car back!” Yes, Nora, Jules, and Moe got the wrecked Mercedes with the smashed side, the exposed riveting from the missing molding, CHP junkyard date stamp, and Henry’s custom tires… back. Just in case Henry might forget, the rest of the message reads, “Happy Birthday! We love you!”
Surprise, Henry! You loved that car. Of course your friends got it back for you… wrecked!
The day after the party, we received these notes (picture not published without permission, though we love getting pictures!):
The cake was a big hit! I’ve attached a picture of the celebrant, Henry, appreciating your work. He ended up carving out the driver’s side door just like he was rescued from the car.
Thanks, Bill

I just wanted to echo what Bill said, the cake was awesome and it was definitely one of the highlights. My husband was very surprised (Bill and I had planned this very well and he didn’t even know until it was time to cut the cake). No one has ever seen something like this in any of the birthdays we’ve attended so far - again.
Thank you! Nora

Aoife wanted an extraordinary cake to celebrate her son’s baptism. Made to look like a baptismal font, the cake was personalized with a Celtic Dara knot (like Darragh’s name) on the cake base, and Darragh Ryan’s name on the next tier. Marbelized fondant was used to resemble a classic font, and a Christening cup was added at the base.
Can you imagine this centerpiece cake among the flowers and shade in a beautifully decorated backyard? It must have looked like the baptism was performed out in the garden.
Congratulations Darragh Ryan!
