Yvonne: Your creations sound like you really know what you're doing -- you really seem to be pleasing the crowd!!!
I sort of got hooked into planning another retirement party (:-( -- I'm so sick of it.)....but I'd like to be able to touch bases with you to see if you could possibly help us (me) out here!!!! Mind if I give a call to the numbers you left on the forum for your previous customers? We're looking at sometime in December -- and thank gawd I'm not the primary coordinator on this party -- just the cake this time----
Also, just out of curiosity....do you know how to make a St. Honore Cake? (not for THIS particular event...) But, I moved up here in '94 from the Bay Area and there used to be a little hole in the wall bakery on the Peninsula that made killer St. Honore Cakes. When I first got to Folsom and tried to find someone in the Sacramento vicinity to make one for a special occasion, no one had a clue. Finally, in '95, I found one of the staff at the bakery at VIC's IGA Market up in American River Canyon who knew what this cake was all about and produced a pretty decent version of it. But she was gone a year later and I just can't seem to find ANYONE around this locale who knows what it is, how delicious it is, or how to make it (and I don't bake---just cook.....)
Here'e a link to a basic recipe for the cake. There are other recipes out there on the internet. I'm not sure what's best, but my memories of the BEST cakes had little tiny crunchy toffee candy in some part of the cake or filling(s). The BEST part of the whole cake, of course, were the little cream puffs on top of the cake.

So, please let me know your readout on this. (Obviously, just thinking about a taste of this cake puts 20 pounds on each thigh!!!!!!! Weight Watchers HERE I COME!!!! ) Thanks so much. Linda

It looks like it would take time, but nothing out of the ordinary. You can make the superfine sugar with regular sugar pulsed in your food processor. Looks tasty and good for a special occasion.

Another glowing review for Creative Cakes! She made a Diva cake, on short notice, for my daughter's 5th bday! I was absolutely adorable and my daughter just loved it... as did all at the party.
I will post a pic when I get them uploaded.

Again, another glowing recommendation for Creative Cakes...Yvonne did the cake for our season-end soccer party, and it was a hit. Not only did the cake look great, but it was yummy, also!

Hi. My daughter will be 6 in 2 weeks and she wants a cake that looks like a present all wrapped up. This will be the cake that we eat on her actual birthday, so it will only need to be for about 6 people. Does that sound like something that you can do?

Yeah, that must have been our cake, as we picked it up Sunday, also. My only complaint is that there were no leftovers! Our party went through an entire 1/2 sheet cake. Not only the kids, but the adults also, were coming back for seconds.
