Although i’m a Yankee fan through and through, i dug deep down and “somehow” managed to make a yummy and tasty Phillies Birthday cake. Even though we totally won the Series…hehe. This was actually for a family member (although they are the Phillies contingent, we still love them) and i’m happy to report she loved it!  The cake itself is chocolate cake with vanilla chocolate chip buttercream as requested by the Birthday girl. This combo is becoming quite popular, who knew? The lettering on top is done in colored white chocolate and the sides are garnished with red and black sprinkles.

Hi all! Hope everyone had a good holiday! This was a super fun custom golf  cake we did right before the craziness of the holidays.  It was for a surprise 30th birthday and with lots of secret texting back and forth with his wife, we were able to match the birthday boy’s golf bag, and special golf hat!  And my personal favorite is the little golfer we made to look just like him, beard and all!

This cake has a bunch of fun stuff going on. The bottom tier is chocolate cake with vanilla chocolate chip filling, the top two cake tiers are yellow cake with chocolate pudding filling, and the golf hat is actually a big ball of chocolate chip cookie then covered in fondant!  Everything was frosted in tinted buttercream, and garnished with fondant and gumpaste decorations. The “water trap” is also icing, and the “sand trap” is peanut butter icing with graham cracker crumbs on it. His wife requested if possible we sneak in some peanut butter on the cake for her, mission accomplished.  The only non edible thing is the pole for the flag and the trees. The base of the trees are styrofoam cones that are covered with piped buttercream. So you can lick them but can’t eat them!

I am so happy to say the cake was a hit, he absolutely loved it and was totally surprised! Happy 30th Gary!
