Birthday and Baptism Cake

Concord Teacakes in West Concord - their cakes taste great but also are very pretty. I have used them over the years for several birthdays & baptisms. They will either do "generic" designs - or for an extra fee duplicate a napkin, invitation, etc.

Hi,

I actually ordered a cake from Harvest Bakery in Bristol, CT for my son's 1st and 2nd birthday. His 2nd birthday cake was a construction theme..the cake came out incredible...so much detail...roads, construction workers, construction signs! We received sooo many compliments. I have been very happy with their food and cakes!

I love Mozzicato's in Hartford, it's an authentic Italian bakery. The sponge cake with strawberries, peaches and whipped cream frosting is great in the spring/summer and can be decorated for any occasion.

Hi A.,
I don't know where you live but in Glastonbury CT there is a new place that makes adorable cakes. It's called Sugarbelle.
I just ordered my daughter's Baptism cake from there.

Hi A.-

Cupcakes by Design in Andover does great cupcakes, cookies and Cakes and Party FAvors in Brookline also does fantastic cakes and cookies.

Cottage Confections in Frankin or Dessert Works in Norwood--both delicious and pretty cakes.

A.-

I don't know how close to Concord you are but Concord Teacakes in west Concord makes beautiful cakes! And they are delicious to boot! We gave them a napkin from the birthday/shower etc and they copied the napkin EXACTLY. It was a tough picture to copy and they did it beautifully!

I get all my cakes from Konditor Meister in Braintree...wonderful cakes, real butter cream frosting, lots of designs to choose from. These cakes are not that much more expensive than a grocery store cake, but they are a lot better quality.

Hello, I am not sure where you are located but I used Cakes by Michelle up in Billerica. Her cakes are also nut free so it is great for people with allergies and the cakes are tasty and moist and she creates any kind of cake. She also delivers to certain areas too. She did a Hannah Montana/Thomas Train/Dora combo cake for me - how's that for creativity?

Good luck.

If you are in the Leominster/Fitchburg MA area then I would go with Dutch Kitchen - they are a little pricey but worth every bit. They are located on Summer Street in Fitchburg at the end of Bemis Road (diagonally across from Carol's Dairy Bar) in a little plaza. I have also heard Joyce's Bakery on North Main Street Leominster is good.

We have gotten the best cakes for 1st birthdays and christenings at Ginger Betty's in Quincy. I can forward pics if you would like. Jen

where are you located? I'm in Beverly and just did a really beautiful cake for my niece (cross cake).. if you are local let me know and I'll send you a pix..

A., there is a bakery in Lynn on Eastern Ave called D'Amici that does amazing cakes for all occasions. We recently were at a Pirate birthday party and they did a treasure chest that we thought was a prop - it looked and tasted amazing! They'll do anything you ask for.

Have a great celebration.

I use Sin Desserts for our cakes - the baker's name is Jen. eatwicked.com is her website. She is great. I hope you have a wonderful birthday and chistening. :)

Hi A.

I don't know where you live, but This Takes The Cake in Quincy has yummy cakes with butter cream frosting. They do yellow, chocolate, 1/2 and 1/2 and carrot cakes, I think. The cakes are really moist. They can scan pictures onto the cakes or do other designs. I hope this is helpful. Good luck. They are located at 764 Hancock St across from St Ann's church, and their number is (617) 773-CAKE(2253).Here's a link: http://www.thistakesthecake.com/

Peace,

Most bakeries will do custom cakes for you.
There is the Cake Lady on Rte 18 (whitman or weymouth area)[have not tried her myself], Whites's Bakery [LOVE THEM]- one in Brockton behind Owen Oleary's and one in Hingham (I think), Icing on the Cake in Newton [sampled their cakes and we love them too] and ofcourse Montillio's in Brockton - [FABULOUS - did our wedding cake]....
They can all ususally do anything you request and may have a sample book.

I am not sure about supremarket bakeries for the cross but they usually have a small little cake - looks like a big roudn one - just for the little ones first birthday or other occasion (bought one once for my great grandmother for her birthday - it was just the right size)

I got both my kids cakes for their baptisms from Shaws. It might sound weird, but the cakes were beautiful, and they are so delicious!

Hi A.!

Go to www.DianesSweetTreats.com/Religious.html to see her fabulous baptismal cakes. I work in a restaurant and recently someone brought in a baby shower cake from Diane Burke; I gotta tell ya', it was the best cake I've ever had the pleasure to serve in seven years of waitressing.

I know she's located in CT too; you can call her at ###-###-#### or email her at ____@____.com Luck!

Not sure where you live, but there's a cake place called 'Cakes for Occasions' in Danvers, MA...they are wonderful! Here's the website: www.cakes4occasions.com

Good Luck!

Hi, A.. Felicia's Sweetface Pastry Shop in Gales Ferry does an absolutely wonderful job. They are located on Route 12. We used them for our wedding cake (which was wonderful) but the other items she has everyday for sale shows how talented she really is. You should check it out, I'm sure Felicia will be able to make you happy:)

Roche Brothers supermarkets has a nice selection of children cakes (especially the character cakes) that are reasonably priced and taste pretty good.

We have also done the Costco cake in the past and they were very nice- I wanted a pirate theme for my son's cake and bought decorations for the cake myself. I asked them to modify their Stitch and Lilo cake and leave the decorations off- they were very accomodating and did a nice job too.

Mike's Pastry in the North End does a beautiful Christening/baptism cake. AND Delicious. If you are in the Salem area, Coffee Time on Bridge Street (you can even view the cakes on-line) make beautiful cakes........also, delicious. The Stop N' Shop in Swampscott makes a beautiful and delicious cake as well.

Hi A.!
Not sure where you live, but Piro's bakery in Methuen did a really nice cross cake for our son's baptism. If I remember right, I want to say it cost around $45 to feed about 25 people.
Good luck!

Hi A.! not sure where you are located but Konditor Meister in braintree and Montillio's in Quincy and Brockton have beautiful and flavorful cakes! They also do wonderful cakes for kids and baptisms! they are gorgeous! I saw one made out of a barbie once and it was so amazing to see a cake shaped into barbie's dress! so good! and lots of flavors!

I have my own business for cakes made in my home. If you are in or near the Littleton New Hampshire area give me a call....###-###-####

I can do anything! I have done a Baptism cake and cupcakes for one of my previous churches in California for a large group that was Baptised (30 people). I have a little web page too, I'll give you the info if you desire. Cake baking and decorating is one of my passions. Scrapbooking is the other.

I got my daughter's christening cake at Sunrise Bakery in North Dartmouth, it was the shape of a bible, they also do cross cakes. They have photo albums with a lot of different ideas. Good Luck!

Konditor Meister cakes are amazing ... they taste great and they are beautiful. I can also tell you that BJ's makes the moistest cakes. I have done both of my children's first birthday cakes there. If you bring them a picture of your child they can scan the picture into frosting and have an edible picture of your child on the cake. They are inexpensive and all of my friends and family are amazed at how moist and delicious their cakes are. For my daughters second birthday I found a great picture of Elmo and they scanned that into the cake with a picture of her! It was awesome and she loved it! I really suggest you try their cake!

A.,

What area are you in?
I used a fabulous bakery in Cumberland RI for mine -- they made absolutely gorgeous cakes shaped like crosses as well as shaped like Christening gowns as well as of course all the traditional cakes. Delicious too! They have four locations in Rhode Island. We live about 25 minutes away in MA, but it was so worth the drive.

Lyndell's on Broadway (Ball Square) in Somerville, best occasion cakes around! The decorations are always beautiful and they taste good too. ###-###-####.

Crosbys Bakery in Nashua does an unbelieveable job. I'm not sure where you live but we have ALL our cakes made there. Whether it be birthday, baptism, and they are very very nice.

I use Teasha's Tasty Treats.. She is a wizz at decorating and is very inexpensive... Her # ###-###-#### ENJOY!!

I can second both Crosby's in Nashua and Tripoli in Lawerence.

HI A.,
If you are a BJ"s wholesale club member, check out their prices for sheet cakes. They are VERY reasonable and they have a whipped cream frosting that is delicious. Not sure if they will be able to accomodate your "cross-shape" though. My advise would be go to BJ's for the birthday cake and with the money you save there, then you can go to a "fancy" bakery to do the baptism cake. Art's International Bakery in Taunton does a great job on that sort of stuff. Good luck.. and remember,, it's only cake so don't sweat it too much.

Emmm's Bakery in Templeton is great!

Dear A.,
I don't know where you are located, but Wright's Dairy Farm in North Smithfield does beautiful cakes-and they do a smaller version for first birthdays so that your little one can just dig into her own cake.

Have fun with your celebrations!

Hi A.,

If you are local to Lawrence, Massachusetts, Tripoli's Bakery has some great cakes they can make. They did a cross for my son's baptism, and because I had 80 people there they doubled the size.

Good luck!

I don't know if you're from the Cape area,but a friend of mine owns her own business called "Immaculate Confections" (clever name, huh?). She does an AWESOME job at any cake. She has many done cakes for us, including a Cheetah Girls cake, a Bratz cake that rivaled a wedding cake, a cake shaped like a map of Colorado, and a BEAUTIFUL cross cake most recently for our daughter's Baptism. She can do whatever you need, and she makes everything from scratch! These cakes are so good that my husband has traded electrical work at her house for a cake! She is very pleasant to work with. Anyways, her name is Kathy, and her phone # is ###-###-####. I wanted to attach a picture of the Cross cake, but couldn't figure out how to!

Hi A.,
I have ordered several cakes from Wright's Farm in North Smithfield, RI. I'm not sure where you are - but their pastry is great. You can even bring pictures and your own design requests and they will try to match it. My sister in law brought them the invitation from my baby shower and they copied the design (a pea pod scene) to a "T" - including the colors. I hope this helps.
Here is their website: http://www.wrightsdairyfarm.com/

Hi A.,

If you live near Providence, RI, you can try LaSalle bakery (http://www.lasallebakery.net/). They did my wedding cake and my son's first birthday cake and they do a great job.

Take care,

C.

Not sure where you live, but the Cake Gallery in Bristol, RI at bell tower plaza is awesome... a little pricey but well worth it. Beautiful cakes and you can even coordinate say the napkins with the cake. For my sons 1st b-day (9 years ago) I brought in the Winnie the pooh plates that I was using, and they duplicated it. Their number is ###-###-#### and their website is http://www.thecakegalleryri.net/ Good luck!

Hi A., I'm not sure where you are located but Sweet Spot in Melrose did a fabulous job on both of my childrens christening cakes!!
