With our bakery firmly planted in Gainesville, Florida, we don’t get many requests for Georgia cakes. Of course, much like the Gator Nation, University of Georgia fans are all over the United States. Luckily for this custom cake, there’s even a few in our backyard. =)

Not only did we LOVE the concept of this birthday cake, we also loved the birthday boy’s name. For this birthday cake in Gainesville, Florida, the mother chose (what we call) “vintage meets election day” theme for the 1st birthday celebration.

It’s a common scenario here at the bakery… Whether it’s paying for a cup of Joe or putting down a deposit on one of our amazing cakes, when we hand over the tablet and ask for a signature, we usually hear “Wow, that’s neat.”

Before we get into why we like Square for credit card processing, let’s talk about how credit card processing works. Continue reading
Sometimes we learn the backstory. Backstories let us know about the little things— little things with big meaning. This ladybug themed birthday cake helped celebrate a 10th birthday here in Gainesville, Florida. Ladybugs for a birthday cake? To understand you need to know the backstory. =)

If you ask, most people disagree about the origins of birthday celebrations. Many claim it was the Romans who initially started celebrating birthdays with generous “celebrations” and birthday gifts (we know they did not celebrate with birthday cake). Some say birthday parties began in Europe– large, joyous celebrations were held to keep “evil spirits” away from people on their birthday.
Others, like us here at Dream Day Cakes®, just say that every celebration deserves a great party; and with that very long segway, we introduce the Under the Sea birthday cake. =)

We enjoyed meeting so many of you at the Gainesville Wedding Expo this past weekend. More than 500 Bearkery® boxes were handed out to attendees, and our staff truly enjoyed talking to future brides about their wedding cakes.

At Dream Day Cakes®, we may bake a lot of wedding cakes — but we’re not just a wedding cake shop. We love baking a variety of cakes that help people celebrate life.

When our friend Jaime, of Sweet Serendipity Photography, told us about a special give-a-way she was planning, we knew we wanted to help. Gainesville, as many of you know very well, is a small town. We have amazing and talented photographers that we get to work with often, and we work hard to be friendly with everyone.
In 2011, we worked many of the same weddings/events with Jamie and really enjoyed seeing her in action. Continue reading
