Birthday Favor Boxes

How cute are these favor boxes for a dinosaur themed birthday party? We purchased the gable boxes from PaperMart, created a custom label for the birthday boy, and filled each box with a dinosaur cookie, a chocolate #7 lollipop, and a decorated cupcake.

Baby Shower Cakes from our New Jersey Custom Bakery

Baby shower cakes are such fun to design and make. There are so many great themes our customers choose for the shower. Following are a few of our recent cakes.

The sports theme is always a favorite at the bakery and can be a bit challenging! The following cake display is made up of 5 separate cakes (the football field, baseball hat, soccer ball, basketball and football). The baseball bat is made from cereal treats and the baseball is molded white chocolate.

The jungle theme is also a great project to work on. The following cake was designed after the baby's nursery design. Each animal was hand cut from sugarpaste and applied to the cake.

Here is a fun little topsy turvy cake we made for a candy-themed bridal shower. The lollipops were made from rolling fondant.

Flowers and Food: Sugar, Silk, or Real?

At our New Jersey bakery we are obsessed with following, if not exceeding, our local health codes especially when it comes to sanitation. Everything used for our cakes is either edible or food safe items (e.g. dowels to support cake tiers, etc....).

I tend to cringe when a client wants to put fresh or silk flowers on a cake. Many fresh flowers are covered in pesticides, some being quite toxic, and most silk flowers are not made with food safe materials.

We always recommend our clients opt for sugarpaste flowers. The first reason for this is we know we are providing a cake that is safe for our clients to consume. The second reason being it is aesthetically pleasing to look at a cake and know everything you see is completely edible!
