Stunning! but simple. nice.

	From: morganwolf	Date: 06/02/2007 01:09:51

Very feminine but also sophisticated... I really like this cake's composition.

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 06/02/2007 09:50:18

I've always loved this one, especially the colors. It reminds me of Breakfast at Tiffany's for some reason.

I really like the contrast of the crisp silver monograms with the delicate designs of the cake itself.

	From: violetsky	Date: 03/29/2007 17:21:15

you have the most awesome looking cakes!!! my god. i wish i lived closer :) i think i've gained 5 lbs already just from looking through this blog!

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 03/29/2007 17:48:13

Thank you so much. I was surprised to actually see a comment since I just made this blog a day or so ago and just now back dated most of the cakes I have pictures for. You can expect a new cake or two every week.

Glad you like. And just so you know, we are toying with the idea of mail order cakes. =P

	From: pennygreeneyes	Date: 04/03/2007 13:04:39

Holy cow, Joe. This one is incredible. It's like a cake from a Tim Burton movie, or something.

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 04/03/2007 13:57:46

Aw, thanks. Yeah, this one is getting more and more popular, what is crazy is how often they say "just make up a design" for these style cakes and they never see em until the day of.

	From: mishaela	Date: 06/01/2007 15:00:52

did you make this one for the mad hatter's last tea party? :)

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 06/01/2007 18:20:07

I can only dream. But that is where the inspiration comes from.

~Joe

	From: nunkii	Date: 09/28/2007 13:04:50

That is simply awesome! I wish you guys delivered to Georgia.../sigh

	From: sin_abandonment	Date: 05/31/2007 10:45:28

The colors on this are gorgeous!!

This is such a work of art.

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 05/31/2007 18:32:34

Thanks, I really liked this one too.

~Joe

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 05/31/2007 18:32:54

PS-love the icon.

~Joe

Lemme guess, Mary Kay. tee hee.

	From: mishaela	Date: 06/01/2007 14:58:05

did a ladybug marry a soccer ball here?

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 06/01/2007 18:19:31

I dont really know. The lady bug is the bride's cake while the soccer ball is the groom's cake. I think it's just two things they really like. I thought it was a cute idea.

~Joe

	From: mishaela	Date: 06/01/2007 22:29:19

oh sure, my aunt and uncle did that when they got married. their cakes weren't half so beautiful though. :)

	From: forgethe_world	Date: 06/09/2007 09:58:06

You know, that gave me a cute idea for a cake for the kids at my reception.

	From: coloritgreen	Date: 06/02/2007 11:54:26

I sort-of followed this one back.

And I happen to like this one more then most of the others. It's pretty striking and... well, pretty. :]'

	From: curvycrip	Date: 06/06/2007 09:16:29

Spectacular!

	From: _zerlina_	Date: 05/31/2007 12:14:04

That...is too cute for words.

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 05/31/2007 18:36:28

It's all edible too! I actually just got an order to make another cake exactly like this one for late June.

~Joe

	From: morganwolf	Date: 06/02/2007 01:11:26

This is the best baby cake I have ever seen. I am SO getting one of these when I have a kid.

	From: sarapooh	Date: 06/05/2007 03:17:48

OMG this is amazing!!!!! I wish you were closer! Do you mind if I show this someone to 'copy'? I would love to use this or something similar for a baby shower- it is just too cute- I have never seen anything like it- I love it!

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 06/05/2007 09:44:26

Go for it =P

~Joe

	From: spiralated	Date: 06/04/2007 10:43:23

The colors on this one are amazing

	From: forgethe_world	Date: 06/09/2007 09:57:11

This one is amazing! What did you use for the silver?

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 06/10/2007 14:50:52

Luster dust.

~Joe

	From: alexandriash	Date: 10/16/2007 11:04:13

Wow.
I was going through old entries and found this one on my birthday. :-D
This is one of my all-time favorites, I love it!
(even better if it was all purple and silver, lol)

	From: evadamnit	Date: 05/31/2007 07:47:16

I like this one a lot, the stripes/circles deal is a recurring theme in my drawings.

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 05/31/2007 18:25:21

That's great. This one was for a family friend and we just last minute threw that design on.

~Joe

	From: mamagaea	Date: 07/15/2007 17:45:09

Joe! It's your first comment! :D

	From: freegina	Date: 04/02/2007 12:28:22

Ahhhh pretty!

	From: semajim	Date: 04/03/2007 10:39:31

Wow that champaign bubble style is popular for you guys this year. Lara and I almost ordered it too.

	From: ktstar1	Date: 06/27/2007 07:46:37
	Wow.

I was just browsing the lj site and came across this blog. I worked in a bakery for serveral years so, of course, this peaked my interest.

I have to say, I never had a "dream" cake for my wedding (whenever that may be), but I'm pretty sure this is it. It's stunning in it's color and simplicity.

	From: mishaela	Date: 06/01/2007 14:53:43

are those cards real?

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 06/01/2007 18:24:45

Yes, yes they are.

~Joe

	From: heatherface	Date: 06/02/2007 12:10:46

That's one heck of a message to put on the top of a cake, that sort of thing is more what you put on a tombstone. I would've just left it at putting her name on it.

	From: freegina	Date: 04/13/2007 22:40:46

Pretty! Are the flowers fresh?

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 04/13/2007 23:05:45

Thanks, and yes the flowers are fresh.

	From: pennygreeneyes	Date: 04/14/2007 15:28:43

I love it. They look happy.

	From: majaji	Date: 06/01/2007 10:32:02

beautiful! i love this cake!

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 06/01/2007 10:37:51

It was a really interesting cake to make. The bride wanted it to look like rivers. Also of note, this cake went to the gorgeous Hakone Gardens in Saratoga, CA.

~Joe

	From: _dilate_	Date: 06/08/2007 11:52:12

This is my favorite of them all, I love how it looks like water.

	From: mamagaea	Date: 07/15/2007 17:47:38

I love the sitting cake topper. It's so cool. le sigh. :)

	From: curvycrip	Date: 06/06/2007 09:22:00

lovely. I really like the simplicity.

	From: voicessayimfine	Date: 06/08/2007 03:50:51
	Flowers on cake...

For fresh flowers on a cake, do they have to be a special kind or have anything done to them before they're put on a cake?

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 06/08/2007 17:42:25
	Re: Flowers on cake...

Well, we make sure there isnt any dirt or anything on them, and usually take off the bad petals. But other than that, no, nothing special.

~Joe

	From: mystic_life	Date: 05/31/2007 04:18:23

wow that is just so cool.

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 05/31/2007 18:17:34

Thanks, we actually had to make that cake twice. There was a huge problem with the setting of it and it collapsed. It was a big disappointment but eventually we got it together. They looked even better up close.

~Joe

PS-is that a firefly icon? If so awesome.

	From: anappleater	Date: 05/31/2007 04:46:32

that's awesome!

	From: crescentroses	Date: 05/31/2007 14:30:48

They kind of look like giant chocolate donuts if it wasn't for the cars, lol.

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 05/31/2007 18:18:00

Haha, I never thought of that, and now, all I see are donuts!

~Joe

	From: mishaela	Date: 06/01/2007 14:55:13

totally awesome. makes me want to go lick a tire to see if they're all as yummy as i'm sure those ones are.

	From: smileypv	Date: 06/02/2007 07:05:04

That is one of the coolest cakes I have ever seen, even cooler than some of the ones you have already pictured here as well as the ones our wedding cake lady did (you should have seen some of hers!).

How did you make the treads? What are those rectangles?

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 06/02/2007 10:02:35

The treads were just cut pieces of fondant that we put in a pattern that resembled tire treads. Pretty simple, but when executed = awesome.

Also, you'll note that the extra tire isnt on a silver board because the bridal party didnt let me finish setting it up before they started taking pictures of it.

~Joe

	From: mamagaea	Date: 07/15/2007 17:51:06

IT'S GIANT DOUGHNUTS! AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

	From: vschiquita	Date: 07/23/2007 07:06:57

despite this being one of your least fave deliveries, it still turned out really nice! It's so creative!

	From: freegina	Date: 04/19/2007 23:31:01

Ooh, I like this one.

	From: thiselena	Date: 09/06/2007 06:49:24

I didn't know cakes could be repaired after they get smashed by falling cake toppers!

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 10/11/2007 13:19:10

Well, it takes a lot of work, but yeah.

Cute, but that's a huge cake for a one year-old! ;)

	From: hermioneann	Date: 06/01/2007 11:47:08

This is beautiful

	From: morganwolf	Date: 06/02/2007 01:08:15

Oh, wow, love the butterflies. The whole cake is really eye-catching, I can't stop examining it.

	From: xxdemonrinxx	Date: 06/12/2007 14:36:35

its a really pretty cake! what are the butterflies made of? or are they not editable.

	From: thecakeblog	Date: 06/12/2007 21:32:21

They arent edible, but I did spray them with an edible blue color.

~Joe

	From: nunkii	Date: 09/28/2007 13:09:15

This has to be my favorite so far. I love nature and how the Butterflies are descending to the base...just beautiful and really lovely!

	From: mishaela	Date: 06/01/2007 14:56:56

i love the "flounces" on this one! they're perfect.

	From: jewelpuppy	Date: 06/08/2007 01:17:28

Cool! I really like this one. it reminds me of books stacked on top of each other. or boxes stacked on top of each other! either way I like the colours and the shape, Beautiful!

	From: hyuya_awaken	Date: 06/08/2007 01:45:42

wow, it looks like a boxes! XDDD cute and simple!
