We created this tennis racket cake for a Bar Mitzvah at the Metropolis Country Club in NY. Along with the cake, we included tennis ball shaped cupcakes.

We received this great thank-you email from Sarah:

Hi Anne,
I just wanted to say thank you so much, and let you know how amazing Matthew’s tennis racket cake was. It was really unbelievable, and so delicious too. Everyone was raving about it, and it was just perfect. The cupcakes were awesome also. So thank you so much for your creativity and your professionalism, and for helping to make Matthew’s Bar-Mitzvah(and his candlelighting) a true success.
Sincerely,
Sarah

On Wednesday we had to say farewell to one of our interns, Risa, as she headed back to school. We wish her luck at The Culinary Institute of America! In honor of her last day, we threw a ’salad party’ and everyone brought an ingredient for Risa’s favorite salad. It was yummy - since I too love salad…I was very excited! Here you can see us clad in party hats! It’s too bad we don’t ever have any fun….ha.

The bottom cake flavors included hazelnut filling with white cake and red velvet with vanilla buttercream. The top cake included chocolate with oreos and cream.

We always appreciate the recognition received from other bloggers and websites. And, since it’s been a while since we did a cake blog roundup post, I figured it was time to highlight some recent posts:

This 90th birthday cake was inspired by our lavender Quinceañera cake. Two robins sit on top of the cake with birds and butterflies circling the sides. The pink and green colors were created to match the party’s invitation. Inside the 3 tier cake was Lemon cake with rapsberry chambord buttercream filling.

We created an assortment of different flower cupcakes along with this flower pot cake for a bridal shower. The cupcakes were setup on our 5 tier cupcake stand with the flower pot cake on top.

The cupcakes included white, chocolate and red velvet with vanilla and chocolate icing.

We received some wonderful photos from the bride of a recent wedding where we provided cupcakes and our 6 tier cupcake tower. The gorgeous photos were taken by Autumn Lin Photography who has studios in both New York City and New Jersey.

Dress for Success Morris County is celebrating its 10th anniversary at the Spring Brook Country Club in Morris Township tonight. We were so excited to be asked to be a part of the their event, entitled, “Success is Sweet.”
