We created this 4 tier ivory fondant round wedding cake for a wedding at the Park Avenue Club in Florham Park, NJ. The cake is topped with a burgundy bow and each tier has a fondant band at its base. The flavors include chocolate eggless cake with oreos and cream and mocha filling.

We decorated this cake with hot pink and gold colors to match the colors of the parties sweet 16 invitations.  The entire cake was chocolate with oreo filling.  We delivered the cake to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ

The music theme was carried through for both the cupcakes and 2 tier cake we created for a recent 50th birthday party.  Each cupcake is topped with musical notes while music bars and notes decorate each tier of the cake.

As we close out 2008, we have one last best-of list. This list is a best-of compilation across all cakes and cupcakes we posted in 2008. The cakes were chosen based on a combination number of views and number of comments.

We want to thank our families, friends, employees, customers and visitors to this blog for helping make 2008 a great success. There were many highlights in 2008 and my favorite moments would have to be the two Food Network challenges we competed in and our appearance on Martha Stewart Wedding Cake special. All in all it was a successful year for Pink Cake Box and I want to thank everyone for their support!

Okay we may be getting carried away with the best-of lists, but I couldn’t let 2008 pass without paying homage to the cupcake. The cupcake had another strong year despite continued predictions by some that cupcakes are just a passing fad.

Cupcake blogs like Cupcake Takes the Cake and All Things Cupcake are still going strong and customer interest in cupcakes and stands continued to show strength in 2008. Here’s to another strong year in 2009 for the almighty cupcake.

As with all our lists, this best-of cupcake list was compiled based on number of views and comments. We did not include any wedding cupcake stands in this list, because those confections will be included in our final top ten list for 2008 set to premiere tomorrow.

Happy New Year! Enjoy the Cupcakes!

For our clients 30th anniversary we created this 3 tier round cake.  The cake is highlighted with pearl decorations including piped pearls at the base of each tier and different size flowers with pearl trails.

Flavors included white cake with a thin layer of raspberry preservers and chocolate ganache.   We delivered the cake to Bensi Restaurant in Old Bridge, NJ.

We created this 2 tier topsy turvy cake for a surprise 60th birthday at Rod’s Steak and Seafood Grille in Morristown, NJ.  The birthday boy was a big fan of B-movie monsters so we incorporated some of his favorite creatures.
