Choosing a Birthday Cake

Do you want to know how I make choosing a birthday cake easy?

Before I tell you how I choose birthday cakes, picture this: your child is having a birthday party. They invited all of their friends. The decorations are up, but they're just basic birthday decorations.

Everyone is having fun because it's a party. It's time to bring in the birthday cake. You’ve chosen a boring square birthday cake so you come in with a square.

Your kid loves it because, after all, it's sweet and kids love sweets. But it's lackluster. There are no "oohs" nor any "ahhs." It's a basic square cake that says, "Happy birthday!"

Ho hum. Sure everyone had fun, but no one remembers the party decorations because they were ordinary. Least of all, no one remembers the cake because you chose that square birthday cake. This applies to round birthday cake as well. They have no character no matter how you decorate the finished product.

Now imagine this scenario. You know your child loves soccer. The whole party is decorated in a soccer theme. There are makeshift goals, balloons shaped like soccer balls, and cardboard soccer jerseys all around.

When it's time to bring out the birthday cake, you show up with a soccer ball shaped birthday cake. Everyone's eyes light up, especially your kid's. Everyone remembers that birthday party, and all of the soccer decorations.

They especially remember biting into a soccer ball shaped cake.Which birthday party would you rather throw?

My guess is the second one, so my tip for choosing a birthday cake is to first think of a theme for the party.

Here’s what you have to do to be able to choose the perfect birthday cake shape. You must first think of the theme, which doesn’t just have to be about soccer. It can be based off of any games or sports that your child enjoys playing, or cartoons, movie characters, or children's shows that they like to watch.

You can even base your theme off of your child's favorite book, like Harry Potter for example.Once you choose a theme, then it's easy to choose birthday cake . That's my number one secret for always baking the perfect birthday cake in the shape that gets the "oohs" and "ahhs" and that everyone remembers. Always start out with a theme, and the birthday cake will easily follow.

Choosing a Wedding Cake

One of the best parts of any wedding is definitely the cake. The wedding cake is an important part of the reception and symbolizes so much more than just a tasty dessert.

Although you may think it is just a cake – your wedding cake will, in fact, be the centre piece of your wedding reception. The eyes of all your guests will automatically rivet to the layers of cream, frosting and sugar with which you will cap the evening by cutting for all to share. So, when you are choosing your wedding cake, you have to make sure that it not only matches the style and theme of your wedding and reception, but that it is a proper reflection of you as a couple. Choosing a wedding cake is probably one of the most enjoyable things about marriage planning, but it can take time to find just the right cake and just the right person to create it.

Wedding Cake Q & A

How soon should I place my cake order?

As soon as you decide on your wedding date. We prefer that the order be placed at least one month prior to your wedding. We make every effort to accommodate last minute orders. Appointments are recommended for all cake orders.

Can my wedding cake have more than one flavor?

Yes, you may choose from our selection of delicious flavors. However, we recommend that you order only two different flavors. Your guests will want to sample all the flavors and there is a chance that you may run out of cake.

I have a special design in mind and I have a picture of how I want my wedding cake to look, is this something you can accomodate?

In many cases we can customize your cake. We must approve the order before we can confirm that we will provide it for you. Ideally, you should set-up an appointment with me.

Do you provide flowers or other decorations?

Yes. We can decorate your wedding cake with an elegant cascade of flowers, with foundant flowers and icing, for an additional cost.

What are my choices of tier stands?

For a traditional look we recommend either our white plastic tier stands with elegant white pillars, or our clear acrylic tier stands and pillars that give the appearance of glass. For a beautiful cascade effect where each cake sits on a separate tier stand at a different level we recommend either our white plastic stands or clear acrylic stands. We also have beautiful water fountain thats goes under the cake stands, to really give your cake a grand effect.

What time should the wedding cake be delivered?

We recommend that your cake be delivered one to two hours prior to the start of your reception, but this may vary depending on the weather, whether your cake is inside or outside, in the sun, etc. We will do our best to accommodate your florist. Please note that the cake can be only guaranteed for up to a few hours.
