Judy with frog cake

Merry, Thank you very much for the cake that you for me after the puppet presentation of Bullfrog and Butterflies. It was adorable! The frog was so realistic with the cattails and lily pads that I didn’t want to cut into the cake. After admiring your work of art I was tempted to eat your delicious cake so I cut off the frog’s foot. Then I couldn’t bear seeing a footless frog, so I tried to eat him by scooping the cake out and tunneling up his leg. What an amazing creation! Thank you for your work art.

What Makes for a Great Cake?

The ingredients. That’s the reason supermarket cakes are considerably cheaper than those made by private, premium bakers.Most supermarkets use frozen cakes or prepared mixes. Add a little water and Voila! you’ve got a wedding cake. Not so with premium bakers: butter, the finest cake flour, fresh eggs, and chocolate are the stuff in their cakes. These bakers really do put your money where your mouth is!

You want a baker who mixes their own cake using butter, eggs, milk and cream. And one who creates their own icing using the finest ingredients.  You want a real cake with real frosting! This is one of the reasons wedding cake costs vary so much.

Here at Cakes Especially 4 You I make all my cakes fresh to order, never frozen using only the freshest ingredients with frosting created using butter and whipping cream.

Buying guide for Wedding & Special Occasion Cakes

You always get what you pay for.
There are many other decorators doing cakes for much less than me, but the ingredients, dedication and attention to detail all suffer. Many bakeries use frozen cakes and frostings out of a bucket. My frosting only has five ingredients: sugar, egg whites, unsalted butter,vanilla extract and whipping cream, and my cakes are never frozen.

Rule 1 of 4
