Support Bra Cake

ajsmoonlightbakery — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 02:38:33 +0000

I know a few people that have just reached those milestone birthdays, and for many, it seems to hit them like a ton of bricks. So when I saw the design for this cake, I knew this was going to be one interesting 50th birthday party.

Lori’s husband provided a picture of this cake, deciding this would be a great way to take his wife over the threshold of turning 50. “Lori is 50. Let’s give her some Support.” With a support bra, pink roses, and baubles and beads, I hope this made her smile and laugh as much as her husband and friends did.

Cheers to many more wonderful years!

Through the Years Birthday Cake

ajsmoonlightbakery — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 19:01:43 +0000

AJ’s wife celebrated her 40th birthday with a cake that’s all about her. AJ (yes, we love the name) called us with the request to bring his wife, Jennie, back through the decades of her lifetime so far. The years were showcased on three cake tiers made of almond cake and almond buttercream, lemon poppyseed cake and lemon buttercream, and chocolate cake and chocolate buttercream.

From hospital and baby carriage to Prince and leggings to Mustang, to home and family and fireworks, Jennie has had quite a life already. The message from her husband reads, “It’s only going to get better.”

Delivering the cake, we were there to see our birthday gal and her family surrounding the cake. They excitedly pointed out their dalmation, the “Taco Bell”, the earthquake cake, the camping trailer, and other pieces of Jennie’s life that they saw on the cake. Personalized by her husband, they were all enjoying the cake trip down memory lane.

AJ was so sweet to his wife to give her a personal birthday cake. Then he sent this wonderful letter to us.

Amy,
Thank you for a fantastic cake. You took all my ideas and fit them in to the cake beautifully. It told my wifes life story from the bottom to the top. My wife was so surprised when you brought the cake in. I thought she was going to cry as she tried to take in all the different aspects of the cake. It was a hit all night , all our family and friends loved the cake and had a great time trying to figure out the story and all the different figures. My daughters kept the dalmatian and the mustang, they are sitting in our fridge. Everyone loved the 21st birthday earthquake cake, the family loved the flags, and the colors were beautiful. We sang ‘happy birthday’ my wife blew out the candles and it took 20 minutes before she talked herself into cutting such a beautiful cake. Then we got to eat the cake, I love chocolate but the lemon poppy seed was great. Luckily for me that was the largest tier and the only tier with some left over. I’m still eating a sliver a night to this day.

Thank you again for all your hard work, it was greatly appreciated.

AJ

We’re glad everyone enjoyed the cake, AJ. (We have the best clients!)

First Words Cake

ajsmoonlightbakery — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 02:59:45 +0000

The first year of a baby’s life is full of firsts. First smile, first step, first laugh. Jashunpan’s parents wanted to celebrate his first birthday with a cake that shows what he has learned in that critical year, his first words: tabla (the Indian drums), socks, airplane, brush, ball, sports car, balloons, and blueberries.

Wrecked Mercedes

ajsmoonlightbakery — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 04:14:29 +0000

People get in car accidents. They spend time worrying about it, picking up the broken pieces, mending what can be mended, and finally trying to forget about the whole thing. And then your friends decide there’s no reason to just let it go.

“We got your car back!” Yes, Nora, Jules, and Moe got the wrecked Mercedes with the smashed side, the exposed riveting from the missing molding, CHP junkyard date stamp, and Henry’s custom tires… back. Just in case Henry might forget, the rest of the message reads, “Happy Birthday! We love you!”

Surprise, Henry! You loved that car. Of course your friends got it back for you… wrecked!

The day after the party, we received these two notes (picture not published without permission, though we love getting pictures!):

The cake was a big hit! I’ve attached a picture of the celebrant, Henry, appreciating your work. He ended up carving out the driver’s side door just like he was rescued from the car.
Thanks, Bill

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just wanted to echo what Bill said, the cake was awesome and it was definitely one of the highlights. My husband was very surprised (Bill and I had planned this very well and he didn’t even know until it was time to cut the cake). No one has ever seen something like this in any of the birthdays we’ve attended so far – again.
Thank you! Nora

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We’re so thankful to receive such praise. This is what we live and make cakes for.

Who doesn’t love fire engines and firemen? Kieran played the hero at his birthday party. Dressed up in his firefighter suit, he brought his fire engine and is ready to tackle any fire. It’s a dirty job, but somebody has got to do it.

UPDATE:
We have pictures of our hero! We’re grateful to Kieran’s mom for sending pictures with this note:

“Thanks again!! It made the day even MORE magical for all of us!”
