Baby’s first birthday!

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Any parent knows that the first birthday is quite a special event.  When it comes to first birthday cakes, you may want to make two cakes: one to serve to guests and one for your baby (a smash cake).  Pick a theme that is special for you and your child.  It could include a popular TV show, a special stuffed animal, or favorite activity.  Your child’s birthday cake will be something you’ll remember for years to come.

More groom’s cakes

Friday, September 25th, 2009

With origins in the 17th century, the groom’s cake is really a very old wedding tradition, somehow lost and now rediscovered for the most elegant wedding receptions.  Although the groom’s cake customarily was a dark fruit cake, it now comes in any flavor, shape or color.  Whatever theme you choose for the groom’s cake, it is a charming tradition that adds a distinctive, personal touch to your wedding festivities while honoring the man you just married.

Purse cakes - Copy

The 7th Annual Erie Biscuit Day took place this past weekend in downtown Erie and Intricate Icings was pleased to be a part of their cake walk.  Each of the girls created the purse of their choice and did a fantastic job.  I have no doubt the winners of these cakes satisfied their sweet tooth and did it in fashion.  Style never tasted so good!
