Mednhi Pattern Wedding Cake - NJ Custom Cake Bakery



Hand piping seems to be one of those skills I don't get to use very often anymore so I am thrilled when I get to break out my piping tips for a cake!

The design on this cake was inspired by a classic mehndi design. The pale green color is not typical of what you would see on most mehndi cakes, but I think it combines well for an American - Indian wedding.

Guitar Cake - NJ Cake Bakery

 
 
Anyone ever play a sugar guitar :)
 
We made this cake for one of our clients who presented it to her boyfriend for his 30th birthday.
 
The book cake contains his favorite quote from John Lennon's lyrics of "Beautiful Boy": Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."  So very true!!

Old Fashioned Telephone Cake


 
 
Some of the younger crowd may not recognize this as a phone but this is the way phones looked when the birthday girl was born!
 
This was such a fun cake to make for a really lovely lady. The biggest challenge with this cake was the support system to hold the phone handle in place. We went with a series of dowels and pipes - yes....all food safe!
 
I hope you enjoy viewing our most recent work.

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.

Sugar Flowers - NJ Wedding Cake Bakery

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!
