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.

I’m so proud of all of my friends who are standing up for my rights and the rights of all of the other gays and lesbians in this state. They are showing a wonderful spirit in the fight for equal rights.

The history of marriage has included some dark times when interracial marriages were not allowed, and no one now can imagine such discrimination. We need to keep discrimination out of the California Constitution. It’s unfair and it’s wrong.

Vote No on Prop 8. Vote for equality for all.

With a passion for Native American artifacts, Ruben’s wife had to get this Native American Drum cake for his birthday. That’s one way to have your cake and eat it, too.

All kids, and many kids at heart, recognize the Transformers logo. I don’t see and appreciate the complexity of many designs like this logo, until we make the cake.

Atti loves eveything that’s Transformers. His birthday had the Transformers decorations, bouncer, goodie bags, and of course, the Transformers Autobots Logo cake. Atti was excited as every new Transformer was revealed. I was happy to get a good hug for the cake. And I was glad to hear Atti’s dad show off the cake, explaining that the painting on the Autobot face and Transformers logo is exactly like the real thing.

Atti ~ I was excited to be there when you came into this world six years ago, and I love getting to see you grow up. Happy Birthday Atti!

This lemon cake with lemon buttercream frosting celebration cake is decorated with the flaming chalice and symbols of the First Unitarian Church in Downtown San Jose for the ordination of Jennifer Debusk. Delivery was a little tricky with Jennifer going down the same hall that we were walking down with the cake.

First hidden behind many people, and then out of sight with the cake, we were shown to the cake table. Many ladies surrounded the cake to marvel at the realistic symbols around the cake, and ask what the symbols were made of and how they were made. Despite speculation that we found molds of these symbols, they were actually hand-sculpted by Amy. She studied the church flyer to be certain to get the symbols just right.

The ladies were so impressed, they had to show us the actual large symbols lined up around the altar. It was great to see these impressive symbols after looking at the pictures for so long to make the miniatures.

If you’re downtown, go visit the First Unitarian Church on 3rd Street. Everyone there is extremely friendly and will welcome you with open arms.

This letter was forwarded to us by Kelly who worked with us on the design of Jennifer’s cake:

Dear Kelly,

Wow! I continue to bask in the afterglow of my ordination. Thank you so much for being in charge of the delicious meal. Many people commented on the wonderful food and helped themselves to seconds. And what an amazing cake! Beautiful, artistic, and delicious. How perfect for an ordination that celebrates the arts and nourishment of the body and soul.

I have attached for you a couple photos as fond memories of my ordination. Once again, thank you for making this celebration so special!

Blessings,
Jennifer

Manny is raising his daughter, Annalise, right. Just like daddy, she’s a Sharks fan. Manny admitted that he wanted the cake for himself, but he can get his own on his birthday.

Happy Birthday, Annalise!

Shana’s sister, Maria, loves Scrabble. This cake was designed to look like the Deluxe Scrabble board that sits on a wood base with wood trays and tiles. It’s a delicious combination of chocolate cake with chocolate cream cheese filling and white chocolate buttercream frosting.

We had to play the game to figure out how to get these requested words on the cake: “Happy Birthday Maria”, “Beatles”, “tattoo”, “trees”, and “Obama”. Some of the rest of the jumbled letters were put in the trays surrounding the cake. We had memories of getting the tray with all of the high points letters. Our guess is that Maria knows just how to use them.

I’m just wondering if Maria showed Shana her tray in front that spelled “sisters”.

The first year of a baby’s life is full of firsts. First smile, first step, first laugh. Jashunpan’s parents wanted to celebrate his first birthday with a cake that shows what he has learned in that critical year, his first words: tabla (the Indian drums), socks, airplane, brush, ball, sports car, balloons, and blueberries.

Our good friend Gerrie’s 40th birthday was at the Lookout in San Francisco. We created this Beach Graffiti cake for the Hawaiian themed party. She thought she was getting big wrinkled boobs for her birthday (but we didn’t look to find out). Instead she got the big palm tree on a beach with flip flops and surf boards. Her wrinkled body was floating just before the looming sharks.

On the sides of the cake were waves and look out lights that glowed in the dark side of the bar. Friends were invited to make their own graffiti greetings and warnings for the birthday gal with edible markers.

Happy Birthday Gerrie!
