Castle Cake!

Posted on January 30, 2012 by admin

Here’s a castle cake we recently made. The client wanted us to make sure that the name “Farishta” was prominently displayed on the bottom tier. The bottom tier was what could be considered a half tier, since it’s not the height of a “normal” tier. The flavor of the cakes were our popular vanilla butter cake, and the client decided to go with different fillings for each of the tiers. From top to bottom, the fillings were cookies and cream, mocha buttercream, white chocolate mousse (good choice!), and vanilla meringue buttercream, respectively.

Additionally, adorned on the tiers were soft pink butterflies. Each turret or tower has lavender conical roofs.

As the NFC Championship game approaches tomorrow, our client decided to have a NY Giants helmet cake as a 30th birthday cake. What a perfect cake for a G-Men fan! Now let’s hope the Giants win the game tomorrow…

Sickest Car Cakes!

Posted on January 4, 2012 by admin

We’ve been doing a lot of cakes shaped into cars, sometimes three or more in a week! And we’ve got so many car cakes to display, we thought we’d post some of the most successful cakes in one no-nonsense post. They’re in no particular order, except somewhat randomized to keep the car cakes fresh. Here goes:

A black Ford F-150 Pickup Truck Cake with groom-to-be poking his head out of the window, and dogs in the open cab

Lime green Lamborghini Murcielago cake with as much detail as I could possible add. Note the water bottle next to the birthday cake to get a sense of how large it was!

A Blue Bentley Continental GT Cake, with all of the lines, grill and glory

Bugatti Veyron cake in the classic black and red color scheme

NYPD patrol car cake with NYPD logos and siren lights

Yellow Chevy Camaro cake with black racing stripes, reminiscent of the latest Transformers movie

A Range Rover cake in a pink trim, perfect for a young lady graduating law school

Dodge Caliber car cake, completely decked out in black trim, black rims, smoked headlights and tinted windows

A BMW car cake perfect for those "Bimmer" enthusuasts

Chevy Colorado pickup truck cake, made as a graduation cake for an individual graduating as a marine

Red 1959 Cadillac Eldorado with a white soft top, large tail fins and white walled tires

Black Chevy Corvette car cake

These are just a few of the car cakes put out by this New York bakery. Click here for more images of our car cakes.

Panda Bear Cake with Bamboo Stalks

Posted on November 22, 2010 by admin

Here’s a cake we recently did that we found really cute! It’s a Panda Bear birthday cake we recently made for a little boy named Raul. The cake flavor was our popular vanilla butter cake with a caramel buttercream/dulce de leche filling. The cake was picked up from our Levittown, Long Island location. As a note, all pickups are out of our Long Island location (the Manhattan location is sales office to meet with prospective clients and for cake tastings). Cakes can be picked up seven days a week. See store for hours.

Here are some shots of the cake:

Magical Mystery Tour Birthday Cake!

Posted on November 14, 2010 by admin

Beatles Magical Mystery Tour Birthday Cake

Last week we designed and made a Beatles-themed birthday cake for a pair of twins turning 50! Their 50th birthday cake was designed off of their invitation, which had this very interesting “sunburst” motif in two different shades of yellow, as well as the logo “Magical Mystery Tour” in a very 60s rainbow/tie-dyed effect, which itself is borrowed from the Beatles album of the same title. So we thought we would incorporate these ideas into their birthday cake, and include a guitar and drums as a topper and multi-colored peace signs bursting from the cake.

Today we heard back from the client, and this is what she had to say about the Beatles birthday cake:

Your cake was FABULOUS!! It looked awesome and was the perfect addition to our Beatles “Magical Mystery Tour” theme. Guests were astonished at the detail, and at how delicious the cake was!!. Several hotel staffers asked where I got the cake as they host many sweet 16 birthday parties and the cakes are much more expensive and not nearly as creative. You will definitely be getting some new clients after this event.

I appreciate how easy you and your staff were to work with. I just can’t say enough.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

The birthday cake was delivered to Hyatt Regency in Hauppauge, Long Island, NY.

Pureology Flower Logo Cake

We were contacted to make another corporate cake for L’Oréal, this time for their hair products company Pureology. The concept of the cake was simple–just give us the flower logo! So that’s what we did.

We delivered the cake to SOHO Grand Hotel in New York City.

Long Island Barn Yard Cake

Posted on November 10, 2010 by admin

This is a cake we did last month. We recently heard back from the customer and was delighted to hear their response!

Long Island Barn and Animals Cake

Just wanted to send you a note to tell you the cake was more then I ever imagined it would be!! I couldn’t believe how much it looked like the actual Barn in our yard. My partner Chris was beside himself when he saw the cake. Guests in the restaurant were coming in asking all about the cake and who made it. Of course I gave them all information and hope you see some new clients. Again I can’t tell you how pleased I was with the Fabulous Job you and your staff did!!
Not only did it look amazing….the cake it self…to die for!!!!

Chuck I’m glad you liked and it was a pleasure making it for you!

Teddy Bear in Princess Dress Cake

Posted on November 9, 2010 by admin

Allison is a long time customer of ours, and called recently looking for a cake for her daughter’s fourth birthday. They were celebrating the birthday in the popular Build-A-Bear Workshop in NYC. The client wanted the perfect accompaniment to the location, and thought that a teddy bear dressed in a cute dress would be perfect. She was right!

The cake came our gorgeous and super cute. We wanted to make sure that even though the cake was covered in fondant, that it had the same “plush” fabric effect, and a pearlescent look to the princess dress. Topping off the cake is a tiara on little teddy’s head.

Here’s another shot of the teddy bear cake.

The cake was delivered to the Build-A-Bear Workshop in New York.

Halloween Cakes!

Posted on October 31, 2010 by admin

We had quite a few Halloween cakes this week, and we thought we’d share some of them with you.

Halloween 2nd Birthday Cake

We’re especially proud of this Halloween cake–it is a two tier cake covered in two shades of orange, adorned with a giant pumpkin topper. Since this was a two year old’s birthday cake, we decided to go with cute ghosts and a Halloween trick-or-treat basket, to name a few of the elements.

The cake was picked up from our Long Island location.

1st Birthday Pumpkin Cake

Here’s another Halloween cake that was really a first birthday cake. The cake is a pumpkin covered in fondant with a giant witch’s hat on top. As this was a first birthday, we decided to keep the pumpkin more cute than scary. Lime green accents complete the cake.

The next two cakes are somewhat Halloween themed, as well as fall October themed. One cake is adorned with red, orange and yellow hued leaves. The other with similar colored daisies.

Cute and Girly German Shepherd First Birthday Cake

Posted on October 21, 2010 by admin

This cake was for a first birthday cake for Elle, who apparently loved german shepherd puppies…how cute! The cake itself was pink and decorated in white paw prints and little silver “dragees” (which are basically edible silver pearls). The dog itself was made of cereal treats. The puppy also has a pink bow on her collar. The client’s colors were baby pink, white and silver.
