Starry Sweet 16

This cupcake order was for a Sweet 16 with a celebrity red carpet theme.  The colors were silver, black, and white and the whole place was decorated with stars, magazines, and of course a red carpet.  The cupcakes were silver, black, and white and the stars were impressed with the nickname of the birthday girl.

The extra large cupcake on top was just for the birthday girl!  All cupcakes were chocolate or butter pound.

Pink Cadillac Cake

What a special cake this is!  If you are familiar with the company Mary Kay, than you might also know about the pink Cadillac.  It is a car that consultants can earn as a prestigious symbol of their achievement in their business.  The requester of this cake did not specify what they wanted the cake to be, but we knew this would be perfect.

The cake was finished off with the unit name and symbol (the angel), and of course the MK of Mary Kay Inc.  Cake was marble and could serve up to 30-35 ppl.

Spring is Sprung!

Perfect for Easter Sunday, Mother's Day, or just a Spring day, this cake is an overflowing basket of edible flowers!
Customize one for your special occasions, mix and match peonies, roses, daisies, apple blossoms, and much more.  This cake is the equivalent of an 8" round cake, serves about 10-15 people.

Eclipse Cake

This cake was for a special little girl's Twilight party.  Although I had never seen Twilight, the napkin was given to us for inspiration.  The colors are burgundy and grey.  Fondant covered the top tier and half of the bottom tier with some black buttercream appearing underneath, to add to the color scheme and theme of Twilight.
Top is 6" and bottom is 8".

LOVE Park Cake

I wish we had more pictures of this cake to show you!  This was an almond 12" bridal shower cake.  The bridal party contacted us to make a cake with the Love Park sign on it, since that is the theme for the bride's wedding.  That was pretty much the extent of our instruction, but with the sign placed on it and the wedding date included, we decided to complete the wedding look with cornelli lace design.

They, and we, were very happy with the way it turned out!

Wine and Latte Bridal Shower

A growing request for us has been cupcake displays!  It can be simpler than cutting a cake and yet can be as beautiful as a cake.  This event in particular was for a bridal shower where the color scheme was latte and wine.  The cupcakes were chocolate pound and butter pound.

The heart toppers were fondant and impressed with the bride and groom's first initials, a personal touch that did not go unnoticed!

Congratulations Jazmin!

Casino Nights

This is one of the first cakes we made together.  It was a surprise cake for a 22nd birthday and was a delicious red velvet flavor with cream cheese filling.  The cake was frosted in buttercream. 

The birthday girl was going to Atlantic City so the theme was easy.  We had poker chips, and all the elements of casino you could ask for.  What a great birthday surprise!

Pink Valentine

Here at Philadelphia Cakes we are always working on new recipes to share with our customers, and with Valentine's Day around the corner we are offering a special cupcake for you and your sweet to share.

Rose Pink cupcakes!  These cupcakes are rose flavored cake, which is a delicate sweet flower like flavor, with vanilla buttercream and topped with a small pink fondant rose bud.  The cake itself is pink, perfect topping for your Valentine display.

They are delicious as well!  Order them now for only $18 a dozen and share them with friends, lovers, family, or no one at all.

If rose flavor is not your thing, we suggest trying a dozen of our red velvet cupcakes, topped with chocolate whip cream frosting and a chocolate dipped strawberry and your Valentine dessert is done.  Only $18 for a dozen cupcakes, $7 for the chocolate dipped strawberry toppers.

Hope your Valentine's Day is SWEET this year!

Castle fit for a Princess

This was another look alike cake request.  The cake was a four year old's birthday party with a Disney princess theme.  Although we didn't get pictures, the girl's mother had princess candles to place all over the castle.  This would be the perfect cake for your little princess, regardless of the theme.  Here is the back of the cake.

Cake was red velvet with cream cheese frosting, fondant, and plastic pillars covered in fondant, gumpaste number.  Everything is edible but the pillars!

Welcome Baby!

This was our first baby shower order, however the baby arrived before the shower!  No reason to waste a good party so the celebration continued.  The only instruction that was given was to use hot pink and lime green as part of the color scheme.  We went with a quilted look around the sides of the cake, tiling two colors of pink.  Then we had lime green and pink rattles, diaper pins, and bottled around the sides.  They loved the cake and baby Catalina was celebrated in style!

Cake is red velvet with cream cheese frosting, fondant covered.

Princess Crown Cake

There are some orders that we receive that are requests of cakes they found on the internet.  In these cases we usually get one picture and that's it.  There's usually no picture of the back and never any instructions.  But we welcome these orders!  Every copy-cat cake we make is a new challenge to figure out structure and get the design to mimic the original as best as possible.  So with this design, we did change a little from the original but it was so close to the picture that the customer and we were very happy with it.

Cake was red velvet with cream cheese filling, covered in fondant, sugar pearls, and topped with a gum paste crown.

This is the original picture that was sent.
We looked all over the internet to give credit to the artist, but we couldn't find it. If this is yours tell us.

Whip Cream & Strawberries

Gluten free strawberry shortcake take two!  This was an order for a special birthday.  Turning 30 and keeping a strawberry shortcake tradition alive, without the gluten.  We tried a new recipe with this order and can now offer three gluten free flavor options: vanilla, chocolate, and almond.

Cake was gluten free almond with vanilla whip cream and strawberry filling, frosted with vanilla whip cream.  Try a strawberry whip cream cake today, with or without gluten.

Christmas in July

Christmas is arguably the most festive time of the year, so why not celebrate twice?  This order channeled the holiday spirit with a fun summer twist.

The cake was almond flavored and frosted in buttercream.  Letters were chocolate and all decorations were created from fondant.  Here's a closer look at the sunny ornaments.

Minnie Mouse 1st Birthday Cake

Hello everyone, above are pictures of a Minnie Mouse cake that was ordered for a 1st birthday party. This cake was a strawberry cake with buttercream filling. Decorations are all edible and made out of fondant. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it. =)
