			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;re having a baby!  And you want the cake to be extra special.  Party Cakes can do that!  These tiered cakes show off two very different designs.  Each non-traditional cake could be designed with your budget in mind but these moms-to-be wanted a more dramatic effect.</p>
<div id="attachment_191" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/babycamo2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-191" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/babycamo2-300x224.jpg" alt="Baby Camo" width="300" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Baby Camo in Blue</p></div>
<p>This cake shows a camouflage design in blue topped with a &#8220;package&#8221; cake on top finished with a fondant bow.  The baby blocks that spell out the name are made from cereal treats covered in fondant.  Hours of work with spectacular results.</p>
<div id="attachment_192" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/clothesline3-p.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-192" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/clothesline3-p-300x224.jpg" alt="Clothesline" width="300" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Clothesline Tiered cake</p></div>
<p>The baby clothesline is a fun design that incorporates all the colors for baby and not just pink and blue.  What is truly unique about this cake is the baby on top: created with fondant, hand painted and wrapped in a blanket!  Here is a close-up photo:</p>
<div id="attachment_193" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/babyfondant2-p.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-193" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/babyfondant2-p-300x224.jpg" alt="Baby 3-D" width="300" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Fondant Baby 3-D</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just because the air is cool and the daylight is less, it&#8217;s always wedding season in Michigan.  The designs can be more unique based on current trends or whatever the bride and groom want. Mixing colors with flowers provides many different ideas for each cake.  Here are a few examples.</p>
<div id="attachment_186" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/apples2-p.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-186" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/apples2-p-300x224.jpg" alt="Apples and flowers" width="300" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Little green apples and flowers</p></div>
<p>The next bride chose a dramatic contrast between the base icing and the flowers. The results were fabulous!</p>
<div id="attachment_187" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 234px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/wed1023-1-p.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-187" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/wed1023-1-p-224x300.jpg" alt="Blue flowers on blue cake" width="224" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Blue Flowers on Blue Cake with white design</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Summer themed cakes can be exciting, fun and creative if you chose the right decorator.  Party Cakes in Berkley specializes in custom-designed cakes for your wedding, or any themed event.  Browse the following ideas that were brought to life by Valerie Jackett, owner of Party Cakes.</p>
<div id="attachment_156" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 234px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/nauticalwedding3-p.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-156" title="Nautical Wedding" src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/nauticalwedding3-p-224x300.jpg" alt="Chocolate appliques on buttercream icing" width="224" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">White Chocolate on white butter cream icing with navy roping</p></div>
<p>From anchors to palm trees, the brides want it all and with their own personal touches.  Sometimes I even get a say in the design!</p>
<div id="attachment_157" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 234px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/palm4-p.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-157" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/palm4-p-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">On the beach</p></div>
<p>Elegance was the final word for this next design with 100&#8242;s of tiny fondant flowers all over the three tiers.  Here is a close-up view:</p>
<div id="attachment_158" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 234px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/miniflowers4-p.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-158" title="Fondant flowers" src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/miniflowers4-p-224x300.jpg" alt="Tiny flowers" width="224" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Fondant flowers on tiers</p></div>
<p>Of course this would look entirely different if I would have based iced the cake in a pastel color OR the flowers were created in a BOLD color.  Maybe in the fall&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every bride is unique and their wedding cake is no exception.  Here are some of the unique wedding cake designs that Party Cakes created this past month.  This first photo is from a cake that was delivered to the 71st floor of the Renaissance Center in downtown Detroit.</p>
<div id="attachment_145" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 234px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/coach6-p.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-145" title="coach6-p" src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/coach6-p-224x300.jpg" alt="Detailed design" width="224" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hand Details are Delicate</p></div>
<p>The next two photos are similar but different.  With the change of a ribbon and no flowers on the cake, the look is totally unique.</p>
<div id="attachment_146" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 234px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/wed6-5-3-2-p1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-146" title="wed6-5-3-2-p" src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/wed6-5-3-2-p1-224x300.jpg" alt="Amy's cake" width="224" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Amy&#39;s Cake</p></div>
<p> </p>
<div id="attachment_147" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 234px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/wed6-52-2-p.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-147" title="wed6-52-2-p" src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/wed6-52-2-p-224x300.jpg" alt="Silver ribbon band" width="224" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Silver Ribbon Band with flowers</p></div>
<p>This groom designed his cake without any input from his bride.  And it was beautiful with every detail.</p>
<div id="attachment_148" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 234px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/canton1-p.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-148" title="canton1-p" src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/canton1-p-224x300.jpg" alt="Fairy Tale" width="224" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Princess and Prince Charming</p></div>
<div id="attachment_149" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/paintcreek1-p.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-149" title="paintcreek1-p" src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/paintcreek1-p-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Just like the display in the store</p></div>
<div id="attachment_150" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 234px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/bluepink4-p.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-150" title="bluepink4-p" src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/bluepink4-p-224x300.jpg" alt="Blue and Pink" width="224" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">I have no control over the colors!</p></div>
<p>This final wedding cake design started with an email from a groom writing from New York.  The cake design was completed in the spring and delivered on June 25, 2010.</p>
<div id="attachment_151" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/snead9-p.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-151" title="snead9-p" src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/snead9-p-300x224.jpg" alt="Dots, lace, etc." width="300" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Red Ribbon and Black Details</p></div>
<p>These photos represent some of the wedding cakes that were created by Party Cakes in June.  I have posted just a few of the more memorable ones.  For more information, please call us at 248-541-CAKE (2253) to schedule your personal consultation for your wedding cake design.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some customers want to create a cake for themselves.  Others, it&#8217;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&#8217;s car in cake form.  We appreciate your continued support and look forward to the next celebration.  Can&#8217;t wait to see what you have in mind next!</p>
<div id="attachment_138" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/vette3-p.jpg"><img src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/vette3-p-300x224.jpg" alt="Happy Birthday Dad" title="1962 Corvette" width="300" height="224" class="size-medium wp-image-138" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">It's Dad's Car in cake form!</p></div>
<p>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&#8217;s real popcorn overflowing from the top!  Party Cakes likes to use real food items whenever possible.</p>
<div id="attachment_139" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/popcorn2-p.jpg"><img src="http://partycakesinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/popcorn2-p-300x298.jpg" alt="popcorn box" title="popcorn2-p" width="300" height="298" class="size-medium wp-image-139" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pass the Popcorn</p></div>
<p>This cake can stand on it&#8217;s own&#8211;literally!  The wheels are oreos covered with fondant icing but everything else is sculpted butter cream.  You CAN eat every bit of this car!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.  &#8220;Harvey&#8221; 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&#8217;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 &#8220;grass&#8221;, 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!</p>

<p>Weddings can happen any weekend of the year and a holiday weekend is no exception.  Here are the three wedding cakes that I created on Sunday, May 30, 2010 for three very special couples.  Each cake was different and created to their specifications&#8211;as always.</p>
<p>The first delivery went to Troy, MI and I arrived before the florist so the cake is &#8220;naked&#8221; it&#8217;s topper and extra floral decorations.  Each tier had a different design but all worked well together.</p>
<p>The second delivery took me out to Shelby, MI to Cherry Creek Country Club.  The bride decided at the last minute (5 days before the wedding!) that she did not like the &#8220;display&#8221; cake the venue was going to provide for her wedding.  That&#8217;s when the mother of the bride called Party Cakes.  We arranged to create a four tiered wedding cake display and the decorations included crystals, pearls, and gold leaf vines, all of which had to cascade down the front of the cake.</p>
<p>There was no topper so I had to create something that would use the decorations that were given to me.  Oh yes, the cake had to &#8220;shimmer&#8221; so I applied many layers of pearl dust with the airbrush machine.  The next photos show the detail of the decorations on two tiers.  If you look closely, you will see the &#8220;shimmer&#8221; affect created by the airbrush machine.  It looks &#8220;wet.&#8221;</p>
<p>The final wedding cake delivery went to Southfield at the Silver Gardens.  The theme of this wedding was &#8220;zebra&#8221; print, which was quite appropriate since the couple were married at the Zoo.  For decorating purposes, this cake took the most amount of time to create.  Each stripe is cut from black fondant icing and then pieced onto each tier of the cake.  There is NO pattern to follow and everything is done freehand.  Note:  I am not responsible for the selection of the cake topper.  That was solely the responsibility of the wedding couple.</p>
<p>Beginning at 8:45am on Sunday morning, all three deliveries were completed by 1pm.</p>
