We Take The Cake // Applause

Judge's Choice Best Children's Cakes by South Florida Parenting Magazine

Two of the store's bakers were involved in a Food Network wedding cake competition as well. (They placed an incredible second.) Just imagine what they could do for a child's dream cake. The owner here will tell you up front that the store is pricier than most, but that's because of the quality of the cakes and the time put into each creation. And creations they are. Accents and decorations are all edible, created from sugars and chocolates and the painstaking efforts of skilled bakers.

A quarter-sheet, themed cake for a child's party of 15-20 kids with butter cream cheese frosting will run you about $63. Stacked cakes, which make for beautiful centerpieces as well, start at $4 per person. A complimentary, 4-inch "smash cake" to match a child's first birthday cake is offered to parents for that special milestone.

In case you're wondering, the most popular cake, The Hassle Cake, is half-chocolate, half golden butter, with the store's signature butter cream cheese frosting on the outside and butter cream cheese fudge frosting in the middle. You can browse through books in either location or check the web site, but either way, be sure to place an order at least one week in advance of your occasion.
