CMNY Cakes

We were contacted by a PR agent who came asking for a cake for his client. We of course wondered, who could it be? It turned out to be for Vashtie Kola’s birthday party extravaganza to be held at the Santos nightclub in Manhattan. I was floored because I knew her as the Downtown’s Sweetheart, video music director/New York City fashion icon. Her agent walked in with an Air Jordan sneaker and asked us to recreate it in cake. Check out how it came out:

And here’s a shot with Vashtie and some of her friends in front of it:

You can also check out Vashtie’s website for more on her and her birthday celebrations.

Check out our latest Star Wars cake! It’s Yoda! A lady from the City contacted us about a birthday cake for her son and I guess he was a big fan of Yoda and Star Wars. When we dropped off the cake, we found that the birthday was being held at a school, and we were greeted by a Stormtrooper who directed the way. It turned out that all the kids were dressed up as Star Wars characters…how cool!

OK, so we haven’t posted much in the last couple months…but it’s been really busy…I’m sorry! Anyway, we thought we’d get back on track with a montage of cakes, all with sports as the center-theme, especially since baseball season is back. These are great ideas for birthday cakes…boys and girls alike. Now of course, you might be muttering to yourself as you look below at all the New York franchises…but hey…we’re in New York after all! And that said, we do get many cakes for teams all around the country…so don’t worry. And we thought we’d mix up the sports a bit too, so we even have some golf and snowboarding. Enjoy!

So this woman contacted us looking for a cake for her boyfriend. She booked a trip to Las Vegas for his birthday…and even rented him a Lamborghini–all of this a surprise! So what could she give him as a birthday cake? Why a Lamborghini made out of cake in front of the Las Vegas Marquis sign of course.

Tis the season to be…wedded?? Apparently that’s what a few couples said as they started their lives together this week. It was a particularly heavy week for wedding cakes, and we thought we’d share some of the cakes we made with you!

The cake to the right was a beautiful wedding cake delivered to the Cipriani restaurant in New York City. The couple decided on a popular design with cherry-blossoms on a branch cake. The couple loved orange and red hues, and matched the brides maids’ dresses.

The next cake was another wedding cake delivered to NYC, this time to the Bryant Park Grill. The couple favored a more classic bridal gown white look, and loved the quilted diamond look. As an added touch, the couple went with elegant white roses and a fondant bow topper.

This cake was for a couple that wanted a more wonky and free-spirited design. They held their wedding in out east in Suffolk county.

Congratulations to all who tied the knot in the past week!
