Looks good enough to eat!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving and the dazzling array of good foods that it brings, this week we'd like to feature a few cakes that look too savory to be sweet!

First off here's a summer-inspired picnic basket: fried chicken, potato salad, and watermelon.  Yum!

This cake always makes my mouth water!  Sizzling Kebabs and Hamburgers on the grill - oh Lordy!

How about a GIANT Hamburger?  This cake measured 10 x 10" in real life.  Now that's a lot of deliciousness!

Quick!  Grab your chopsticks, find the wasabi and soy sauce, it's time for some Sushi!  

Hope this whet your appetite a little bit for next week!  Remember to place your Thanksgiving orders by this Sunday November 20th to ensure availability!

Love Birds Wedding

Today we'd like to feature a custom Dairy Free wedding cake we did for Kristen and Keith Mathieu earlier this year.  Kristen and Keith met in 2005 at the University of Rhode Island.  As a couple, one of their favorite hobbies is bird watching from their back porch.  When it came time to plan their wedding, "Love Birds" was a natural choice.  Here it is: a beautiful cake to complement a beautiful couple.  Congratulations Kristen and Keith!

The Thanksgiving Menu is Here!!!

Happy Halloween!

OOOOOOOOOO!  

It's finally here, 

the one night a year, 

when witches and goblins and monsters you fear

Come out in the night,

And fill you with fright,

And leave you a-tremblin' till dawn's morning light.

In light of this fact,

It's quick we must act,

And show you some pictures for a positive impact!

One cake's "trick-or-treat",

Another grabs your feet,

And the last is the essence of spooky and sweet!

To each girl and each boy,

We hope you'll enjoy,

The cake-tastic nature of our spooky ploy!

Happy Halloween!

 

 

Classy Baseball Themed Mitzvah Cake

Today we'd like to feature a beautiful Bar Mitzvah cake we did in March for Jordan Kessler's 13th Birthday.  The theme for the party was "Play Hard" complete with everything red, white and blue - the Red Sox colors!  Instead of going with your typical Red Sox theme cake, the Kesslers and Dessert Works created this fun but classy cake incorporating the colors of the party.  

Mazel Tov Jordan!

Board Games!

On a day like today when the weather is wet and cold, nothing beats a board game, maybe some hot chocolate, and your favorite music.  Who doesn't LOVE board games?  Life, Monopoly, Clue, Sorry, Scrabble, Star Wars Epic Duels....and so many more!  Now, for any lover of board games, what could be better than a Board Game cake?!  While browsing though our portfolio I found several different board game cakes we've created in the past.  Kind of made me want to play them all!  So on this rainy Thursday, enjoy! (And maybe even break out the Yahtzee!)

Cranium anyone?

Who's up for a game of scrabble?  I hope you don't have hippopotomonstrosesquippediliophobia (a fear of long words).....

This cake just begs to be played! 

I hope everyone who attended Zach's Bar Mitzvah got a chance to roll the dice and pass Go!

And finally, just to shake things up and prove that a board game cake doesn't need to be rectangular....

Check out this CandyLand cake we donated to a Pitching in for Kids fundraiser!

(Be mindful not to drool on your keyboard....)

Do you have a loved board game that could become your next party's biggest hit?  Give us a call today and let's make your event a showstopper! 781-708-9088
