Superhero Birthday Cake

Celebrating a birthday — that’s just fun. When your birthday cake has the Hulk punching through the top tier? Well, that’s just an amazing Marvel superhero cake.

To help celebrate a 6th birthday here in Gainesville, Florida, our cake bakery created this custom fondant cake with some of the birthday boy’s favorite Marvel super-heroes.

This recipe required Iron Man with Thor, Spider-man with Captain America, and a sprinkle of Hulk. Bake until awesome.

For the concept of this cake, Yeni wanted clean lines and boy friendly colors. Each tier featured two heroes and each super-hero needed something that could be easily recognized.

Of course, something needed to really showcase the smashing ability of the Hulk…

Rosette Cake

Recently, Dream Day Cakes helped celebrate a first birthday with this lovely rosette cake and tiered cake.

The rosette cake served as the birthday girl’s smash cake — making it the nicest smash cake we’ve ever created.

Yeni formed each of the rosettes for the cake in buttercream; topping the finished smash cake with a fondant banner.

The ivory color of the rosettes were matched to the tiered accompanying cake; which featured edible strings of pearls, sugar flowers, and an ivory finish.

Together the cakes created an extremely classy, elegant first birthday celebration.

We loved creating this rosette cake to help celebrate a first birthday in Gainesville, Florida. A birthday is just one of the many reminders that every celebration deserves Dream Day Cakes.

Blue Bow Wedding Cake

Something borrowed… something blue. Gainesville, Florida finds itself home to many weddings — and at Dream Day Cakes, we’re honored every time we are asked to create a wedding cake.

This fun couple wanted a fun, whimsical shaped cake with subtle yellow accents, strands of edible pearls, and a large, edible blue bow.

Actually, there were two bows… =)

This four-tiered wedding cake also featured a blue glass, bird topper provided by the bride. The whimsical shape kept this cake fun, yet still provided a clean, beautiful cake.

Fairy Tale Wedding Cake

Anyone familiar with the story of Dream Day Cakes, knows we were disappointed with our wedding cake. When a chance came to create a Fairy Tale Wedding Cake, Yeni jumped over the opportunity.

The cake concept was simple: Four tiered wedding cake, fairy tale themed, with the most important words of all: And they lived happily ever after…

Those are powerful words.

Yeni hand piped the scrolls and quote onto the cake in beautiful silver colored royal icing. For the top tier, she added a castle and additional piping.

Simple, clean, and the fairy tale themed cake we wished we had had at our own wedding.

And they lived happily ever after…

We loved creating this cake — of course it made Yeni remember her own wedding cake. For a fairy tale wedding, one simple deserves a fairy tale wedding cake. This is the cake that helps the couple live happily ever after.

Carson Street

Loved working on this Sesame Street Birthday Cake — actually, make that Carson Street.

Our Gainesville bakery was contacted to help celebrate Carson’s 2nd birthday with help of everything he loves. Bright colors, numbers, letters– this cake screamed Sesame.

For the topper, we created a Carson Street sign; sponsored by the number 2.

Of course, this custom fondant cake featured boy-colors with some large cut-outs of Carson’s favorite characters.

The two tiered cake allowed different flavors to be enjoyed by the guests and gave the cake a more substantial presence.

Placing letters into the fondant covered cake board helped carry the theme.

Turtle Cake

In Florida, we love turtles. For a recent couple (who traveled from Gainesville to St. Augustine Beach for their wedding) we were honored to create this custom Turtle Cake.

This groom’s cake had Yeni creating a replica of a turtle using cake and fondant. Completely edible (and adorable), this turtle was more comfortable on dry land than in the wet coasts of Florida.

For your educational moment… did you know that in Florida we have 5 different species of sea turtles?

You didn’t have to worry about this turtle snapping back at you… although we did recommend using a fork.

New York Broadway Cake

For this year’s Rock School Awards Show, Yeni created a multi-tiered New York / Broadway themed cake. This was a very big cake.

To paraphrase one of Fred’s favorite sayings… Friends help you move. Real friends help you move cake.

For this cake, our great friends at Keith Watson Events helped us with both lifting power and a truck large enough to transport the cake to the Curtis M. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts on the University of Florida campus.

In keeping with this year’s theme (Broadway), the cake was designed to feature a New York look with edible buildings, LED lighting, Broadway signs, and cake to feed 400 guests.

Fred normally takes our photos, but for a cake of this size, we needed professional help from our friend Cindy Taylor of Cindy Taylor Photography. Cindy also took Yeni’s headshot on the about us page… but we digress…

New York Broadway Themed Cake

We always try to personalize each cake with something truly meaningful to the client. We took several foundations of The Rock School and incorporated them onto the cake as Broadway signs.

Lights were integrated inside the buildings and around several of the signs. Using LED lights with battery packs allowed us to have the cake light up in an area where electricity might not be available.

The R was for Rock School

Fred, Yeni, and Lindsay stayed with the cake as people arrived. Once seated they cut the cake and served 545 portions. Big cake. =)

Burlap Wedding Cake

Burlap is hot right now. Paired perfectly with North Central Florida’s rustic charm, a well placed accent can create a beautiful burlap wedding cake.

For a recent wedding in Alachua, Florida (just outside of Gainesville), Yeni created a two-tiered rustic buttercream wedding cake with a lovely burlap flower.

The cake base was also covered in burlap to give this wedding cake a clean, finished look.

The two tiered cake was combined with hundreds of mini-cupcakes to feed the wedding guests.

The majority of cakes we bake here at Dream Day Cakes are covered with our delicious fondant. We generally recommend having a fondant cake, however, there’s always a place and time for beautiful buttercream — especially with that rustic look.

Wedding Cake with Burlap Flower

We love the rustic look, and when combined with that color and texture of burlap… it just works.
