They mean well, really. But this is your wedding cake, the finale of a long day and usually the highlight of the evening’s festivities. Please don’t let a hobbyist attempt to create your cake or a friend who has taken a “few classes” in cake decorating. Let the professionals handle this task and don’t worry about anything. We are trained to know what to do if the cake “leans.” However, a good decorator will not let the cake leave the store if it is leaning! We know what to do if the border gets ruined. I even bring a level with me to test the table that the cake will be placed on to make sure I’m starting at zero. I am only as good as the photographs show. I always give myself at least two hours prior to your start time to set up the wedding cake so that I may make any last minute adjustments necessary to make it perfect. Your friend/family will be in a hurry to get it done in time to attend your wedding and then to get to the reception. They won’t think about how level the table is or isn’t nor will they bring an extra cake box for your anniversary cake to be placed in when the wedding cake is disassembled for cutting…like I do. I also provide instructions on how to freeze and thaw it one year later.

Please let the professionals take care of your wedding cake needs. Your friends and family are there to help you celebrate your special day. They are not there to work.  That’s why you pay me.

Not a day goes by without an email from a curious customer who wants to know if we can make a specific cake design. It could be anything from a child’s birthday theme like Dora the Explorer, or even a cut-out crown-shaped cake for their little Princess to a full scale castle complete with moat and drawbridge. Or what about the customer who wants baby blocks for a shower cake? And they send photos! Some photos are “DIY” people who dabble in cake decorating as a hobby. However, some are photos from cake stores in New York, Las Vegas and Baltimore asking…can we do that?

The only limits for your cake design from Party Cakes are your imagination and your budget. Some designs can only be constructed or created by using fondant icing. Yet others can be made with sculpted butter cream icing. It all depends on what you want and what you are willing to pay for. Some 3-D cakes are limited in size due to the cakes we will use to create the design. For example, we recently created a 3-D Yoda for a groom’s cake. His whole body was made from four eight inch cakes, stacked and supported like a wedding cake. But Yoda’s head was made from rice krispie treats, molded and covered with fondant icing.

When a customer writes to us about their design concerns, they need to include the following answers to the following questions:
1. When is the party? The more complicated the design, the more time we will need to prepare. If you need it tomorrow, please pick up the phone and call us!
2. How many guests are you serving? We may have a great design for a two tiered cake but you may only need to serve ten people.
3. What is your budget? Please be realistic. If you want a tennis shoe shaped cake, don’t be surprised when we quote $400 for the work.
4. What is your theme, child or adult? If the party is weeks or months away, we strongly urge you to come into the store and view our photo books for some ideas. If you keep an open mind, we will design your cake based your needs and theme.
5. Please send your name and phone number with the email! If this cake is urgently needed within five days, we would rather speak with you personally so that we get all the details and quote you a price immediately.

Because Party Cakes is a custom-design specialty cake store, every cake is baked and decorated specifically for each customer. No cookie-cutter designs here…unless you want 25 cakes to all look the same.  The Cake Lady bakes, makes icing, cleans and decorates every day and does not sit at the computer waiting for emails to appear on her screen.  If a customer needs an answer immediately about a specific design, they are strongly urged to call for a phone consultation.

Yes, we can do that! Call Party Cakes, Inc. at 248-541-CAKE (2253) today. Business hours are Monday through Thursday, 11 am to 5 pm, Fridays from 11 am to 6 pm and Saturdays from 9 am to 1 pm. We look forward to speaking with you and “serving” your cake needs.

These tasty little treats are a single serving with little or no mess. They can be shaped into numbers, letters or made to resemble a sheet cake. Or they can be placed onto a cupcake stand elegantly decorated with the coordinating colors of the bridal party. What a perfect dessert for adults or kids! Recently, we have had many requests for the GIANT cupcake: enough to serve ten guests. And if you need more servings, we will put the giant cupcake on top of a regular cake. From elegant to whimsical, cupcakes are the perfect desserts for any occasion. Party Cakes is happy to assist with any design a customer may want. Call for your consultation today and let them eat (cup) cakes tonight!

Michigan Wedding Cake Design on a Budget

Wedding cakes can be very expensive but Party Cakes will keep your budget in mind when designing the cake.  With the use of  ”faux” layers, additional height can be added to the cake.  Then the cost will substantially drop by suppling double layer kitchen cakes for the additional servings needed to accommodate the number of guests at the reception.   Sometimes it is not even necessary to supply a piece of cake for every guest because the venue may offer an additional dessert complimenting the wedding cake.  So the bride can save more money!  The “faux” layers are made from styrofoam and are decorated like the real cake layers.  If the bride chooses to return the “faux” layers, she will be rewarded with money.  Call Party Cakes in Berkley, MI at 248-541-CAKE (2253) for more information on how to save money on the wedding cake.
