Phew!!

Wow, what an eventful past few months! We've had some big changes here at Jacy Cakes-- the biggest being the sad departure of Cathy to the mystical far-away land of Texas! Cathy's incredible talent, humor, and amazing work-ethic will be missed more than she will ever know! I know that whatever she does and wherever her path takes her, she'll be a tremendous success!!

Speaking of moving-- the Home Base of Jacy Cakes has moved from the beautiful Upper West Side of Manhattan to the even more beautiful borough of Brooklyn! With more available real estate and clientele, expect to see a Jacy Cakes storefront coming soon!!

Because of the move, we haven't been able to upload pictures from the beautiful cakes we've been creating for the past few months, but if you're a fan of Jacy Cakes on Facebook, you've seen a lot of what we've been up to. And if you're not a fan, what are you waiting for?? Join the coolest group of cake fans on the web!

And, back by VERY popular demand, our do-it-yourself Gingerbread houses are here!! More info will be coming in a separate post very soon. If you didn't get a chance to get yours last year, now's your chance!

That's all for now-- keep an eye out for updates to the site, they're coming soon!

Mini Yankee Stadium Cake

This gluten free cake was a very small representation of the new yankee stadium that was requested for a bride to have at her wedding alongside their traditional wedding cake at the Tides Estate in North Haledon, NJ. Inside was gluten free carrot cake with vanilla buttercream filling.

TV Lover's Birthday Cake

This was a birthday cake for a woman who loves watching the food network in bed with her partner. We made the couple holding hands in bed under a quilt painted to look like the one on their actual bed. On the fondant TV is the food network logo & on the 4 sides of the cake were the logos of her 4 favorite food network shows.

Orchids & Swirls Wedding Cake

This is a 3 tiered wedding cake that featured piped swirls all over the sides, shiny black fondant bands at the base of each tier & orchids to match the decor of the reception. The top tier was vegan madagascar vanilla with raspberry buttercream filling, & the bottom 2 tiers were non vegan madagascar vanilla cake with alternating layers of mocha & vanilla buttercream filling. This was our second time working with Naturally Delicious Caterers at the Galapagos Art Space in Brooklyn, NY.

Zoo Animal Smash Cakes

These were 6 smash cakes for a boy's 1st birthday, all with fondant cutouts of animals that matched the party's decor. The flavors included chocolate cake with cookies n' cream icing,

red velvet cake with vanilla buttercream icing,

vanilla cake with chai buttercream icing,

cardamom-cinnamon spice cake with vanilla buttercream icing,

chocolate cake with chai buttercream icing

and tropical coconut cake with vanilla buttercream icing with toasted coconut on the sides.

China Pattern Wedding Cake

This 3 tiered wedding cake was covered in cranberry red fondant decorations to mimic a china pattern the couple really liked. Inside was red velvet cake with madagascar vanilla buttercream filling & was delivered to the Women's Club of Glen Ridge in NJ

Porsche Cayman Birthday

This was a gluten free vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream filling or a 40th birthday. It was decorated to look like a racetrack & featured a Q shaped track for the recipient's first initial, the writing on the party invitation & his dream car, a Porsche Cayman.

Fashion Mannequin

This crazy fun cake was for a young lady's 13th birthday & she, being an artist almost from birth, designed this entire cake down to it's last detail! It incorporates her favorite doodles on the corset, her favorite bands on patches around the board & her love of neon colors. The checkered belt had her name spelled out in fondant studs & the diamond outline pendant was lined in Swarovski crystals. Inside, the cake was madagascar vanilla with cookies n' cream buttercream filling AND a layer of chocolate crunchies on top of that!

Jailhouse Rock Wedding

The decoration for this unconventional 3 tiered wedding cake was centered around the couple's 50's/jive style reception held at Little Skips in Brooklyn, NY. It also showed the couple's great sense of humor to incorporate a "jail" theme as a nod to what happened when he proposed in central park- they were held up immediately afterwards!! Thankfully they were Ok & went on to get married this summer :o)

Indian Lace Cake

Last week we created this 3 tier wedding cake with peach colored decorations on the sides of each tier that emulated the Indian lace on the couple's wedding invitation. It also featured some light yellow orchids that the couple requested to go along with the decoration of the event location, Kitti Chai restaurant in NY, NY. Inside the top tier was vegan lemon cake with vegan raspberry buttercream filling. The bottom 2 tiers were red velvet with raspberry buttercream filling.

NY Street Pretzel

We had a request to make a birthday cake to look like a "real street pretzel" & this was the result! Inside was vegan chocolate cake with vegan chocolate buttercream. We added some flair we thought would be fitting in an I love NY pin & mustard packets-with one opened & writing out the birthday message on a fondant napkin.

Super Mario Bro.s Cake!

This 5th birthday cake was for a Super Mario Bro.s fan turning 5! His mother provided us with the plastic action figures & we set the scene with fondant bricks, clouds & a canon. Inside the cake there were alternating layers of madagascar vanilla & chocolate cake, & in between those were alternating layer of vanilla & chocolate buttercream filling.

Cranium 30th Birthday Cake

This was the cake for a surprise 30th birthday dinner at a Mexican restaurant last week. It was for a big fan of board games, especially Cranium, so to sit on top of this die cake we made a customized Cranium Wow game piece. Its wearing a logo t-shirt to represent her love of Weezer & it's sporting a sombrero instead of a party hat because it was a Mexican fiesta! The birthday girl is also a notorious fan of sweets & desserts, so we wanted to make something really different for her. We came up with a cake with alternating layers of chocolate brownie & chocolate chip cookie cake & the filling was madagascar vanilla buttercream with chocolate chip cookie dough pieces. You better believe we sampled the scraps, & we definitely have stumbled upon a new Jacy Cakes favorite!

Swirly Dot Wedding Cake

We made this wedding cake this past weekend for a couple that wanted something simple, but elegant. It had dots piped onto the sides in a swirly pattern with royal blue highlights to incorporate the wedding's main color more than just at the bands. The cake inside was chocolate brownie with cookies n' cream buttercream filling, one of the best combos ever!

Armadillo Cake

This "bleedin' red velvet" armadillo cake with raspberry buttercream filling was a surprise for a rehearsal dinner that took place recently in NY at the Golden Unicorn. This was our first International client, as she came from Canada with her wife to have a second ceremony in NY. All the best ladies!!
