Cakes New Jersey For All Occasions

By Jaclyn Hurley


There are many special occasions that require cakes New Jersey. When it comes to designs the sky really is the limit. Many people have a clear idea of what they want the cake to look like. Maybe it is a theme for a child's birthday party or a wedding cake for a special couple. Others may not have an idea and need a baker to work with them and offer suggestions.

Even a small family party with a few guests needs great cake. The cake is typically the focal point of the event and is especially important for a child's birthday party. Most small children love to have a special cake made for the big day. The younger ones often favor a well loved character such as Elmo or Winnie the Pooh. As they get older many kids have a party themed around their interests, pirates and dinosaurs are particular favorites. A beautifully decorated cake in the shape of a T Rex is always a huge hit with the young guests.

When variety is important it may be a good idea to go with a selection of cupcakes rather than one big cake. This idea is quickly catching on even for bigger events such as weddings. The guests can choose from a wonderful selection of flavors mixed and matched with different frosting. This allows the hosts to be really creative and try something new, whilst still being able to offer the traditional vanilla and chocolate.

A summer beach theme party is a great time to try a tropical cake such as coconut or pineapple, or even a combination of the two. These deliciously sweet flavors really add something fun to the mix not just in terms of texture but as the subtle combination of flavors. Using fresh fruits will really make the taste come alive and guests will be asking for the recipe.

Those who enjoy a heart snack that is both healthy and nutritious may want to try zucchini cake. Many people do not realize that vegetables such as zucchini are perfect for baking with and produce a delicious texture that is both moist and filling. Banana cake is very similar and should never be over cooked. It is also the perfect way to use up some over ripe bananas that are not going to be eaten. These types of cake also freeze well, either as a whole or divided up into portions.

Red Velvet cake is a rich and delicious treat. The basic cake mix is used with the addition of some cocoa powder and red food coloring. These small extras create a whole new taste that people have been enjoying for many years. When topped with a layer of cream cheese frosting it makes a great alternative for those who do not like anything too sweet.

Citrus make a great addition to many cakes. Both orange and lemon can be used and are equally popular. Using the freshly squeezed zest of the fruit is crucial to getting a great taste. It is important to remember to wash the outside of the fruit before grating off the zest. An light but tangy frosting makes the perfect accompaniment.

Sometimes there really does not need to be a special occasion. A winter afternoon is a wonderful time to get together with the kids and do some baking. No matter what the flavor, everyone loves a slice of cake.
