Money cakes usually involve a hidden roll clip with money notes in their center, with a pullable happy birthday topper. Once the topper is pulled, PHP notes will shortly follow until the clip is empty. 

Due to the versatility of this feature, it makes them perfect for any event – whether it’s an elegant occasion or simply a casual get-together with friends!

Naughty Bridal Shower Cake

These cakes are perfect for a fun and flirty celebration, as they often feature male and female genitalia as part of the design. While they may not be suitable for all audiences, Filipinos love adding humor and entertainment to a naughty bridal shower.

The decorations used on bridal shower cakes vary greatly depending on the couple’s preferences and appearance. We won’t need to go into the specifics of each design, but make sure your cake reflects your personality. Whether it’s a traditional or a more risqué design, the cake can set the tone for the whole event and be a memorable centerpiece for the celebration.

Customized Cake

These creations can often be tailored to meet any need and occasion. For example, if your celebrant loves Jordan shoes, we can create a cake in the shape of their favorite sneakers, complete with edible details. Or, if your little one adores roosters, we can design a cake that looks just like one.

And, with our commitment to using only the finest ingredients, you can be sure that your cake will look stunning and taste delicious too.

Beer/Alcohol Cake 

Beer/alcohol cakes are usually inspired by beer bottles or beer pints i.e. red horse, but they can be created to replicate stronger drinks like whiskey or rum. 

Usually, these cakes are considered hyper-realistic, meaning they look just like the real thing! The attention to detail is incredible, with every label and logo carefully recreated using fondant or other edible materials.

These cakes are perfect for adult birthdays, bachelor parties, and other events where alcohol is a key component. 

Job or Graduation Cake

These types of cakes are highly versatile in design, ranging from seaman and aviation cakes to construction-themed cakes. The possibilities are endless, and we can work with you to create a unique and personalized cake that reflects the recipient’s profession and interests. 

Graduation cakes, while not technically a job, fall under educational achievements and are also very popular. These cakes are often designed to represent the graduate’s field of study or profession, such as a cake shaped like a diploma or adorned with symbols of their chosen field.

Rainbow Cake

Rainbow cakes are the perfect choice for those looking for a creative way to bring some color into their celebrations. These fun and vibrant desserts can be adapted to any event theme or occasion – from baby showers to birthdays! 

But why are rainbow cakes so popular? Because they are visually stunning and can add a pop of color to any celebration. Rainbows can also represent different things to different people, such as hope, inclusivity, and diversity. They’re also a massive hit among children (especially when combined with unicorn figurines), who are drawn to the cake’s bright colors and whimsical nature.

Hyper-realistic Cake

As the name suggests, a hyper-realistic cake is designed to look incredibly realistic, where it is difficult to distinguish from the real object it is meant to replicate. These cakes can take on many forms, from cakes that look like realistic animals to cakes that resemble everyday objects like a handbag.

Hyper-realistic cakes tend to be more expensive because the process can be incredibly time-consuming and requires a great deal of skill and attention to detail. Cake artists will often use various techniques to create realistic textures and shapes, including sculpting, painting, and airbrushing. The end result is often an incredibly impressive work of art that is almost too beautiful to eat!

Why It’s Worth Paying Extra For A Unique Cake Design?

When it comes to special occasions, having a cake that stands out can make the event more memorable. But why is it worth paying extra for an intricate design or themed cake? After all, plenty of options are available at your local bakery – so what makes them different?

The answer lies in the level of detail and creativity that goes into each custom-made cake. Professional bakers have years of experience perfecting their craft and can create something unique that reflects your style. They also use only high-quality ingredients, ensuring every bite is delicious and eye-catching!

In addition to looking great, many specialty cakes offer practical benefits too.

And because they’re made from scratch on order, you know each one will be freshly baked and served on time – making them ideal for big celebrations like weddings or anniversaries.
