Beach Wedding Cake... The Oceanic: Wrightsville Beach, NC CarolinaCakes & Confections

Congratulations Jennifer on your new marriage. Jennifer chose a 3 tiered Red Velvet Cake with our Vanilla Buttercream Icing. I actually suggested the cream cheese icing to her but she was adamant on getting our signature icing. I'm glade she did because I think that under this heat that we had today that it would have melted. Jennifer, thanks so much to a beautiful bride.

Baby Shower Cake "Baby Bump Cake" Carolina Cakes & Confections

Press: Our baby shower designs have been featured on
Baby Shower Cakes a publication which features
unique baby shower cakes. We are happy to have
been chosen for their acticle again.

It's baby time at the Bakery. Here we have created a Baby Bump Cake with Chocolate Cake and Chocolate Pound Cake filled and covered with Vanilla Cream and wrapped in Chocolate.

Our new customer Alex, called as a few days ago to order a cake for the owners of Dock Street Oyster Bar. He had said that he had heard great things about our bakery, and wanted a carved cake that was somewhat sexy for an expectant mother, so I got to work. I sent him an e-mail explaining that I've not ever done a cake like this before, and he put his trust in my bakery. I'm mentioning this because as a pastry chef, I can assure you that everything will taste unbelievable, but as the stakes get higher in the bakery world because of the Food Network, or even The Cake Boss more pressure gets put on the neigborhood bakeries. Sometimes I don't know if it helps bakeries or hurts them, but this is my chance to tell Wilmington, we may not get your request right evrytime if it's our first time making it, all we can do is try. Well it seems like we got this right the first time. Thank You Alex, for giving us this opportunity. We hope more to come.

Oreo Cookie Wedding Cake, Shell Island Resort Wrightsville Beach, NC Carolina Cakes & Confections

Oreo Cookie Wedding Cake Wilmington, NC Carolina Cakes & Confections, originally uploaded by CupcakesTakeOn.

We received a request a couple of months ago to compose a wedding cake for an Oreo cookie lover. This cake was great to make and also a learning process over all. Over time I have made a Gazillion ice cream cakes with ice cream sandwiched in the middle but never a cookie novelty cake. We had hotel guests follow us to the banquet room to watch us set it up, it was such a great feeling. This cake was created with Chocolate Pound Cake as the tops and bottoms and vanilla cake centers. We iced up each layer in Faux Oreo Cookie Icing, which we created to compliment the cake. It really does look and taste like the real thing.
