Cake of the Week: Back to the 80s

2010-03-21T10:19:00.000-07:00

This week's beauty is a huge cake for a very nostalgic 16 year old. When I met with Kimberly and her mom, Kimberly was very clear that she wanted an amazing cake to compliment her 80's themed party. It just so happened that I had a sketch for an 80's themed wedding cake that never happened. Bad news for the couple, but good news for Kimberly. We modified the design to include Mr. & Mrs. Pac Man,

Cake of the Week: Downhill skier

2010-03-15T09:36:00.000-07:00

This week's mountain of a cake was actually a hold over from last week. Ironically,we experience a nor'easter (that’s a big *ss snow storm for you warmer climate dwellers) this snow capped master piece had to wait for better weather to make it's debut. This Alpine beauty was cooked up, at the last minute; which seems to be the rule rather than the exception with Cake of the Weeks, by a

Cake of the Week: Disney & Pixar's Wall-E Cake

2010-03-01T00:29:00.000-08:00

I've notice a trend with rush cakes. They usually end up being the coolest ones.

This week's beauty was created for very lucky 16 year old celebrating her sweetest birthday in Queens.
