Some customers want to create a cake for themselves. Others, it’s for their kids. But this customer created this cake for his dad! Thank you Paul for being such a great customer and allowing us to create your dad’s car in cake form. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to the next celebration. Can’t wait to see what you have in mind next!

It's Dad's Car in cake form!

Stacked four layers high and constructed like a wedding cake with dowels and support boards, this popcorn box will serve 30-40 hungry children easily. Yes, that’s real popcorn overflowing from the top! Party Cakes likes to use real food items whenever possible.

Pass the Popcorn

This cake can stand on it’s own–literally! The wheels are oreos covered with fondant icing but everything else is sculpted butter cream. You CAN eat every bit of this car!

In May, 2010, Party Cakes was asked to create a very special display cake for Forgotten Harvest, a Michigan charity specializing in distribution of free food throughout the Detroit area. The event was a birthday party for Forgotten Harvest. “Harvey” was their first delivery vehicle and the working photo is a cartoon-type van with eyes for headlights and the grill work is his smile. With such a great image to work with, it was a labor of love to create Harvey. Using four quarter sheet cakes, Harvey was carved down to the van’s shape. His wheels were Oreo cookies covered with black fondant. All the detail work was done with fondant icing including covering the board with “grass”, the road and the flowers along the way. Harvey could feed 100 people but they never cut into him at the party. Nobody wanted to because he was just too cute!

When a customer wants a unique design, it the job of the decorator to bring it to life. And when the customer brings a photo that “suggests” the type of design they would like, it is more of a challenge. Here at Party Cakes, we strive to hit the mark every time a customer challenges us. Here are a few examples of the “WOW” cakes our customers have asked us to create over the past few weeks. If you would like a personal consultation and want the “WOW” factor for your next event, please contact Party Cakes at 248-541-2253 and make an appointment with one of our design experts.

Two boxes are twice as nice

It's a Boy!

This is Harvey.  He was created from sheet cakes and fondant and was recently presented during the Forgotten Harvest’s 20^th Anniversary party.  A total of twenty man-hours, three decorators and two bakers worked a period of three days to make this 3-D delivery vehicle come to life.  He was met with rave reviews from all the participants as well as the clients.  This answers the question: Can you make a 3-D cake?  Yes, we can!

Yes, we can make 3-D Cakes!
