Real Housewives of Orange County Custom Wedding Cake

US Weekly Showcases our wedding Cake from Tamra Barney & Eddie Judge’s Nuptials!

In this week’s issue of US Weekly, the magazine gives an exclusive and stunning glimpse of some of the details from Orange County Housewives Tamra Barney and Eddie Judge’s nuptials last weekend at The St. Regis Monarch Beach.  We are most excited to see the custom wedding cake we designed as it floated above the dance floor along with a pair of oversized pearls! 

Art Deco Themed Wedding Cake

"Art Deco, arguably the most popular style of the twentieth century, is indelibly linked to the modern world.”

We had the pleasure to create a wedding cake for a lovely couple whom are in love with not only one another but for the1920s era. Their wedding took place mid Spring in the brides family estate in San Juan Capistrano. Magnificent indeed. Her flavors consisted on a Lemon Sponge Cake with Fresh Blueberries with a French Vanilla Bean pastry cream. 

Art Deco is one of those things you may not be able to define it is but you know it when you see it.

Our inspiration included buildings, fashion and furniture to create this modern art deco cake.

Animal print fad

Animal print craze! Loving all our cakes inspired by jungle and safari animals!

Spring treats abloom!

Spring is here and we are loving it! We are so blessed to have our bakery in such a beautiful picturesque location here in Lovely Dana Point Harbor. The birds are chirping, the flowers are in full bloom and our mini desserts and cake are springing into the air!

Easter Petit fours too cute to eat?! They have been a hit in our bakery! delicious flavor combinations include our Vanilla cake with Lemon curd and french pastry cream dipped in white chocolate and our Chocolcate cake with Raspberry and french pastry cream dipped in dark and white chocolate.

 

Spring is in the Air

Birthdays, weddings and anniversaries are in full bloom this year. The popular celebration honoring the First birthday surpassing all other birthdays. Families are going all out, not only with the food and theme, but hiring a professional photographer like "Have Your Cake Photography" to capture the fun filled event. 

     Our Ladybug cake and smash cake was a huge hit and more importantly the
sweet birthday girl thoroughly enjoyed her special cake all for herself!

Love is in the air

What better way to celebrate Love then with delicious decadent sweets!

We were so busy on Valentine's Day it was unbelievable. We are so blessed with wonderful clients!

 

 

The Cake pops were very popular! We made our Vanilla Cake with Lemon curd filling dipped in White Chocolate and Chocolate Cake with Fudge Filling dipped in Dark Chocolate

The Victorian Petit fours, magnificent as they are, were the big winner for the ladies! A Decadent Chocolate Cake with Raspberry filling with a Dark chocolate coating and a Vanilla Cake with a Lemon french pastry cream with White chocolate coating. Adorned with delicate butter cream piping. Perfect for a loved one!

 

 Dream Cake and petit fours also a huge hit! Delicious, beautiful and simple.

Ladies and Gentlemen life is uncertain. Eat dessert first!

Dr Seuss Themed Cake

"If we didn’t have birthdays,
you wouldn’t be you.
If you’d never been born,
well then what would you do?
If you’d never been born,
...

well then what would you be?
You might be a fish!
Or a toad in a tree!
You might be a doorknob!
Or three baked potatoes!
You might be a bag full of
hard green tomatoes."

-Dr.Seuss

 

Oh my, oh my! we had a blast creating this gorgeous cake for one of our special clients!

The Birthday boy sure did have a FUN time smashing into his personal cake and eyeing all of the beautiful vibrant colors on the cakes. Each tier was a different flavor correspnding to the birthday boy's favorite flavors as a 1 year old. The bottom tier was a Banana Cake with Fresh Banana in a French Vanilla Bean Cream. The second tier was a Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Filling and the top tier was a Strawberry Cake with Fresh Berries and Whip Cream... YUMMY!!!!

Oh, the Places he will Go!

 

Eat, Drink and be Scary

We love Holidays here at It's All About The Cake! New flavors with every season.

Summer Wedding cakes

This Summer has been filled with creating gorgeous decadent cakes along with beautiful breathtaking weather! Love is in the air and the cakes have exceeded the newlyweds expectations. We look forward to creating more fabulous cakes and are excited to create Fall and Winter embellished wedding cakes!

These two wedding cakes are iced in Butter cream with fondant detail and gumpaste flowers.

Beach Pail Wedding Cake

This wedding just makes me smile, and want to cherish the remaining long days of summer with a delicious, dripping s’more fireside on the beach. Erica and Joe’s vintage camping theme was executed to absolute perfection, this wedding is just oozing with incredible details and charm – and that cake, no words. The re-purposed “ring pillows” might just be our favorite though. Each individual styled vignette with its throw-back camping equipment and custom signs, are so thoughtfully pieced together.
Enjoy sifting through the gorgeousness, this is definitely a steal-worthy one!

Summer Cakes!

We have created some Beautiful and fun cakes this year thus far! These are some of our favorites!

 Fun and interesting flavors have been our Vanilla Cake with a lemon mousse with Fresh Raspberries and white chocolate drizzle, Almonde Cake with a Nutella mousse with a thin layer of ganache, and our Coconut Cake with Banana Cream filling with Carmel mousse. Mmmmmm

Gotta love "It's All About The Cake"

Truffle Dipped-Chocolate Mousse Filled-Chocolate Cupcake

 from It’s All About the Cake Bakery

   

Its “All About The Cake” bakery in Dana Point, CA is a 12 year old family owned establishment. In combination with their eatery, “What a Dish” they have created a restaurant/bakery that utilizes an organic farm-to-table concept using locally grown ingredients when available. The restaurant serves healthy fair such as soups, salads, quiches, and sandwiches. We had the Perfect Pita which was wonderful. Alexandra, one of the owners, was quite helpful in giving us a “tour” of her store.

 

The bakery does a lot of custom cakes with many of them quite ornate and unique. What separates this place from the rest of the custom cakeries is their attention to their ingredients. It isn’t too difficult to make an attractive cake but it is difficult to make one that tastes great and almost impossible to make it taste great and be healthy at the same time. This is what puts “All About Cakes” In a class by themselves. Their desserts look good, taste good, and are made with quality products.

Now for the important part: How was it?! The Truffle Dipped Chocolate Mousse Cupcake is a winner just based on its appearance. It is tall and stately, glistening with a shiny chocolate shell, and decorated with beautiful edible flowers. The chocolate is delicious and when opened, reveals a creamy delectable chocolate mousse, that tops a tender chocolate cake on the bottom. The combination of taking a forkful of the cake, mousse, and chocolate all in one bite is so satisfying that words cannot describe it. This dessert is just that good. On top of that, knowing that you are eating something that isn’t full of unnecessary chemicals,etc., makes each bite even better. Of course there is sugar and plenty of calories here, but this cupcake isn’t meant to be “totally healthy” as some of their other dishes are. This receives 4.5 stars out of 5 for “Is it good”, and 4 hearts for “Is it good for you”. That gives it a total of 8.5 which makes this dessert a “The Dessert Doctor” Hall of Fame member.

Cowboy Hat Cake

Can't get any better than a matching edible Cowboy Hat for the birthday Cowboy!

Delicious alternating chocolate and vanilla sponge cake with raspberry french pastry cream and thin layer of dark chocolate ganache. The party was decked out with Western party supplies. Love it! Yeehaw!
