It’s Great to be ONE!

Happy birthday to Cason, who celebrated his first birthday in style last weekend with family and friends. Following a jungle friends theme, we sculpted an elephant cake to share, and a red balloon cake to smash.

 

Vanilla butter cake was filled with layers of velvety chocolate buttercream and iced with blue-tinted vanilla buttercream. A layer of red-hued rolled fondant decorated the elephant’s balloon, which was the birthday boy’s own cake to smash.

 At one year old, life doesn’t get much better than that!

 We received the following e-mail from Mom:

“Thank you for helping out for my son’s first birthday celebration. I loved the design of the cake, but more so, it was delicious! Thank you again!”

Happy Sweet 16

A girl celebrates her Sweet 16th birthday only once – and wants it to be memorable. With that  plan, Deana and Hannah approached Beaches Pastry to make a spectacular birthday cake incorporating many of Hannah’s favorite things:

different shades of purple
crystals and bling
carrot cake and chocolate cake
rolled fondant and bows

We sketched ideas at our first meeting, which resulted in a cake design that Hannah loved.

 

Taking cues from her favorite flavors, we created a 3 layer cake: the bottom layer was carrot cake, made with pineapple, walnuts, coconut and raisins and filled with orange scented cream cheese frosting. The middle and top cakes were chocolate cake with layers of Nutella hazelnut spread and white chocolate buttercream.

Happy Birthday Hannah! Beaches Pastry wishes you a year filled with laughter and love.
