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!!

Tulip Wedding Cake


The inspiration for this tulip wedding cake was the couple's wedding invitation, which featured loose tulips arranged much like these sugar tulips are going around the center tier of the cake. The top and bottom tiers are decorated with a tulip damask pattern piped on with vegan icing. The flavor of the cake was vegan red velvet with vegan raspberry buttercream filling and it was delivered to the Galapagos Art Space in Brooklyn, NY.
Congratulations Alex & Jen! :o)



Cake Central Magazine


Cake Central Magazine is a new magazine for cake enthusiasts that features beautiful pictures of cakes from designers around the world, along with helpful tips. We were so excited to be asked recently to create a cake in a birdhouse theme for their June 2010 issue. We've been waiting until the issue came out to put up pictures, and here they are!
