Napoleon Bust Cake

admin — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 11:07:59 +0000

This is another cake I just don’t know how you could cut! The client contacted us about designing a cake for her husband’s surprise 60th birthday cake. He was into collecting Civil War and French Revolution period figures. After some planning, we decided on a bust of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Here are some alternative shots of the cake:

The cake was delivered to New York City.

Twins Bat Mitzvah Cake

This Bat Mitzvah cake was for a set of twins who both were into music/Miley Cirus. The cake has zebra stripes, a couple studded belts, lipstick, and their names embellished on the Bat Mitzvah cake.

The cake was delivered to Old Westbury Golf and Country Club.

Mic and Musical Notes Birthday Cake

We designed this cake for a surprise 40th birthday for Heidi. The party was to be on a boat, so the client wanted the cake to be tie-dyed blue. Heidi was a singer in a band, so obviously the cake need a microphone, as well as some other elements like a guitar and tambourine.

Hope you liked it Heidi!

Bulldog and Soccer Ball Platter Cake

This client has an amazing sense of humor. Yes, the cake is basically a scene of their beloved bulldog with a ball in his mouth–something he loves to chew on constantly. But they added a twist–the dog is sitting on a platter with what looks like an apple in his mouth!

Giant Green Hatch Chili Pepper Cake

The client approached us to design a cake with a very simple theme–a chili pepper. That’s all they wanted, and nothing else. So we said OK!, and this is what we came up with.

The cake was for a corporate event held at Los Dos Molinos in New York City.

Ferrari 360 Modena Cake

Here’s another 3D car cake. We get a lot of them, but there was something about how this cake came out. This groom’s cake came out quite close to perfectly. In fact, someone in the shop commented, I work here and I wasn’t even sure if that was cake.

Fifa World Cup Trophy Cake

With all the hysteria around the World Cup, and the finals being tonight, I thought it’d be a good idea to showcase a couple Fifa Trophy Cakes we’ve done. In fact, we did two trophies, and both happened to be in the same week! Take a look–obviously we took two slightly different approaches to the cake:

Here’s a shot of them in our walk-in (with other cakes for that week). One was vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream and the other dense chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream.

One was delivered to Bronx, NY and the other to Chelsea Piers, New York City.

Chic New York City Birthday Cake

admin — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 23:43:11 +0000

We designed this cake for a client who was looking for a sleek NYC-themed cake who also had a large collection of shoes. As you can probably tell, the orange and purple skyline was airbrushed. The stiletto was gum-paste.

Our New Website!

admin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 10:43:01 +0000

Hi everybody–it’s been a LONG time since we last posted! We’ve been super busy making cakes, meeting with new clients, and even launching our new website–something we’re unofficially calling “3.0″.

You’ll find that the site now has much better search capabilities, for starters. Thumbnails are included in the search, something that seems like a “duh”, but was a little difficult to achieve. Also, the blog has been given a makeover–it’s now fully powered by Wordpress. And the site itself hopefully has been giving a gloss as well. Any kinks are being sorted out as we speak.

Thanks and look around!

Fresh out of the oven: CMNY Cafe!

admin — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 05:00:00 +0000

We would like to thank everyone that was a part of this. As some of you may have noticed, the blogs have been a little quite lately. Well, not only are we super swamped making many of your cakes, we’ve been focusing on the next logical progression of our business–a cafe! Adjacent to our shop location, there has always been a cafe–first called Amazon Cafe and then Perk Place Cafe. Now it’s CMNY Cafe!

The cafe will showcase the culinary and baking talent of our staff. While that may sound vague, the menu is still in the works! Of course, we will HAVE to have a whole host of desserts, including something I’m enjoying right now–our Decadent Chocolate Cake! No loungy cafe is complete without a complete list of coffees, teas, capaccinos, and espressos. Gelati (plural for Gelato in case you’re wondering) will also be served, as will various sandwiches and paninis.

We’ll be opening the cafe July 1, 2009!

Note that nothing about our specialty cakes will be changing. Both the specialty cakes side and the cafe are located at:

2945 Hempstead Tpke.
Levittown, New York
(between Bally Total Fitness and Petco)
