Cupcakes are an old favorite that are showing a resurgence these days, especially in the form of cupcake towers. This cupcake tower along with an adorable 6 inch cake is a perfect treat for any occasion. The delicious vanilla cupcakes topped with a vanilla meringue buttercream and bright little stars are a perfect compliment to the fun brightly colored cake that sits on top.

A cupcake tower with a single tier cake on top can be an affordible for an event. They are great additions to birthday parties, baby showers, you can even spice up your next company meeting! Cupcakes are also available in addition to any order.
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…
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.

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

For all you rock fans out there, this cake creation is for you! This cake is a replica of the owners actual B.C. Rich Warlock guitar. The client planned the entire cake over detailed emails and phone calls. A truly thoughtful surprise birthday gift, to say the least. This cake “rocks” on so many levels, and is entirely edible, except for the strings.
Warlock Guitar Cake
We love music, we love cake- so we LOVED making this cake. And apparently so did the client. Here is what she had to say:
“Dear Mona, I wanted to personally thank you and your team for the INCREDIBLE job you did on the BC Rich Guitar Cake for us. It was a show stopper! As you can see below, my husband is holding the actual guitar next to your cake and it blew his mind that the cake looked so much like the real thing. It was a huge hit at the party and everyone asked who did the cake. I can assure you I told everyone about your company. I planned my husband’s party from Vancouver BC, Canada, and thanks to your gallery of pictures on your website, I knew to trust CMNY Cakes with creating a cake that would blow him away! Thank you again, you helped make my husband’s 40th Birthday a huge success. -Trish”
Thanks Trish, we had a blast making the guitar cake!
Halloween is a thrilling time for us at CMNY. Here’s another Halloween themed cake we did this past week. With marbleized fondant at the base, and an airbrushed pumpkin cake sitting on top, this cake was as exciting to create as it is to look at! Don’t be frightened by our ghosts; they’re friendly, and tasty too!
Pumpkin Cake
This spooky cake was picked up from our bakery location in Nassau County, Long Island (located on Hempstead Tpke in Levittown, NY). No spiders were harmed in the making of this cake!
You may be asking yourself wow is that really a cake?! Well I’m here to answer the question you’re all thinking, yes it IS edible!! This awesome pink heeled cake is 100% edible and stylish. There comes a time at CMNY Cakes where we receive orders such as this one. We were given two images of a specific sneaker and were asked to turn it into not only a cake, but also a high heel! Yes we can be talented shoe smiths as well as cake decorators.
The shoebox itself is a basic black shoebox that is often paired with high heeled shoe cakes. In this case, the client wanted these high-heeled sneakers. The birthday girl was also into leopard prints, so adding a leopard print to the shoe was a perfect fit. Additionally, the logo DD was an important feature for the shoe, which had a specific meaning for the client.
Hip-Hop Stiletto Sneaker and Graffiti Shoe Box Cake
The message on the cake was written in a graffiti style, which was handpainted with edible food coloring.
This pink leopard printed heel cake was delivered west of Central Park in Manhattan, New York.
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:

We have an update from the client! Ann posted a picture of the cake on our facebook page. Take a look at our facebook page with cake pictures, and here’s a link to the picture.
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.
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.
