Webkinz Leopard Print Cake

Webkinz Leopard Print Birthday Cake

Who would think that THE premier cupcake lady of the Tri Valley would come to us for a cake? Gloria of Dolce’ the Little Bake Shop makes the best cupcakes for weddings, birthdays, and other special events, so we know she could make her own deliciousness for her daughter’s party. But I guess sometimes you just want a cake.

Caycie fell in love with our cakes last year when she had a pink pirate party. All of the girls were pirates for the day, and Caycie had a cake inspired by the Avril Lavigne pink skull and cross bones.

This year it’s all about the Webkinz. Three tiers of vanilla chiffon cake, strawberry filling, and vanilla buttercream are decorated in leopard print and pink and white strips. The Webkinz silverback gorilla, spotted leopard, and bubblegumsauraus hang out around the cake.

The morning after the party we found this picture posted to Gloria’s Facebook page with a message:

1920′s New Year’s Eve Birthday Cake

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

Gisella got the best party of the year. Can you imagine a New Year’s Eve Birthday party? Every hour for 24 hours, people around the world are popping open Champagne bottles, blasting huge fireworks displays, screaming and hollering their excitement for (your birthday on) the new year. With all of the people celebrating, what gal wouldn’t feel special?

1920’s New Year’s Eve Birthday Celebration Cake

For Gisella’s birthday party, her friends threw a 1920′s theme party, Gisella’s favorite era. This classy cake has three offset square tiers in alternating black and white with black and white polka dots, pearlized baubles, a sparkly red 30, and gold and silver stars. Each tier is a different flavor: red velvet cake with cream cheese icing, chocolate cake with gianduja buttercream, and almond cake with almond buttercream.

We couldn’t resist adding rainbow lights to the 30 and around the cake to highlight the decorations. Lights just make us happy around the holidays. Check out how the lights glow in the dark.

1920’s New Year’s Eve Birthday Cake Lights

2008 was a great year of many wonderful clients and great cakes. We’re looking forward to another year of fun decorating extraordinary cakes. We wish you happiness, good health, and success in 2009!

Hawaiian Waterfall Tiered Birthday Cake

Monday, December 8th, 2008

We love finding Ace of Cakes fans. They’re the ones that already know and appreciate what we do before they even see their cake. Marc came by the shop to talk about the design for his wife, Chris’ cake. He and his wife watch the cake decorating reality show together, so he knew that telling us about her love of Hawaii, he could expect us to make a fabulous cake for her.

Hawaiian Waterfall Tiered Birthday Cake Turtle and Flowers

On three tiers of red velvet cake with vanilla cream cheese icing, the Hawaiian scene was made up of a cascading waterfall, palm trees, rocks, flowers, and a swimming turtle. The wish for a happy birthday was translated in Hawaiian by Marc: Hau Oli La Hanau E Chris.

Hawaiian Waterfall Tiered Birthday Cake Happy Birthday

Marc plotted with Chris’ coworkers to plan a surprise party at her work. Marc was so excited when he picked up the cake, ready to surprise Chris with the cake he designed with us, and celebrate with all of her friends at work on her birthday.

Through the Years Birthday Cake

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

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.”

Through the Years Custom Birthday Cake Message

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.

Happy Birthday Rylie!

2nd Degree Black Belt Cake

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Austen celebrated her achievement of making 2nd degree black belt with her first cake ever. We received an inquiry from Austen’s mom, Jeannine, requesting a gluten-free cake since Austen is allergic to wheat. My own mom is allergic to more foods than can be written on both sides of a 3×5″ card in small letters. We’re sympathetic to people that cannot enjoy what many of us take for granted as everyday foods. However, allergies are tricky, and we’re not nutritionists. Knowing Austen’s story and that her mom wanted a great decorated cake, we were moved to do something special for her.

Jeannine worked out a deal with us where she would buy a couple of gluten-free cakes from Whole Foods, and we would cut and assemble it into a 4-tiered cake that we could frost, drape in fondant, and decorate. Austen drew the design that showed all the belts you must achieve before getting the 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Shooting stars, silver ribbons, dragees, and her Tae Kwon Do figure with the 2nd degree black belt also decorate the cake.

When Austen finally saw the cake that she designed, she was speechless. Her mom and sister kept exclaiming, “It’s gorgeous.” Her dad just stared before saying, “You rock, dude.” Obviously we do this to make a living, but the real payoff is seeing a person’s reaction. And when we heard Austen say “I can’t believe that’s my cake”, we knew we did a good job. Congratulations, Austen! You designed an awesome cake and made the great achievement of 2nd degree black belt!

2nd Degree Black Belt Cake

2nd Degree Black Belt Congratulations

We encourage feedback on our cakes, and were happy to receive this letter:

Hi Amy,

The cake was AMAZING!!!! An incredible work of ART….and it tasted really delicious! Comments when people saw it for the first time WOW! This is Awesome! Are you really going to cut this piece of art? Some people just stared at it and commented on all the spectacular details. Thank you, thank you so very much. You made Austen extremely happy on her very special day. It was a goal achieved for her to receive her 2nd Degree Black Belt and a dream come true to have a very special
cake that she could eat for her celebration.

Much continued success with your wonderful bakery.

Thank you for a FABULOUS Cake.

Jeannine

1969 Volkswagon Bug

Monday, August 18th, 2008

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?
