Cake Friday: Anchors Away

Party Invitation

Having trouble coming up with a cake idea for your next event? When planning a party a great way to design a cake is by bringing your invitation to your consultation. Take this week's featured cake for Jackson whom was turning 1. This customer chose her cake flavors, gave us the number of guest for the party, left us with the invitation and let us work our magic. We call these cake DYOT= Do you own thing and quite often these cakes turn out the best because our decorators can let their creativity fly. 

The cake was covered in white fondant with a thick navy boarder and a red & white twisted rope. Our decorator choose to include the pennant detail by recreating it in swags around the cake. Since this was a nautical themed party, she focalized the anchor detail of the invitation on the top of the cake by placing a blue rope around it. Lastly, she put large silver dragees(is a bite-sized, colorful form of confectionery with a hard outer shell) to add a finishing touch. In giving the bakery artistic license Jackson received a spectacular cake that went perfectly with his nautical themed first birthday. 

When planning your next event- do your research. Check out the bakeries website, Facebook, and cake photos. If they have created fabulous, creative cakes in the past don't be afraid to trust them to DYOT!
