Fondant vs. Buttercream: How to get a cool cake on a budget

Southeastern Massachusetts: Fine Cakes & Boutique Custom Cupcakes

Best Birthday Cakes

Over the past 10 years, we've never had a custom call and say, "I need a cake for Saturday, and it's the most elaborate design that you've probably ever made and I have an unlimited budget."

Everyone is on a budget, and everyone has a different idea of "fancy", "elaborate", "time consuming" and "simple" when it comes to the design of cakes and cupcakes for kids and adults. When you're on a budget, the best course of action is to choose a buttercream design. We all want a delicious and awesome birthday cake without spending a boat load of cash.

Cake A: Our original design. Wonky tiers (that are topsy turvy) with lots of candy and details added to each tier. Stand Up hand cut lettering decorate the tiers.

This cake is one of the most expensive: WHY?
1) slanted tiers that are not straight across
2) fondant tiers (fondant is more expensive than buttercream- it's one more step for us and fondant is expensive)
3)LOTS of decorations 3)lettering and inscription that stands up

Cake B: A similar design, on a budget. This round buttercream cake features only two tiers. Has similar fondant and candy decorations. The tiers are straight across and buttercream is your most budget friendly option.

This cake is still fabulous and custom, but less expensicve: WHY?
1) buttercream tiers that straight across
2) fondant decorations on buttercream tiers (buttercream is less expensive than fondant- it's one less step for us !)
3)LOTS of decorations, but they're more simple
3)Less candy and decorations due to the fact that there are only two tiers

We make the most amazing, scratch-made delicious birthday cakes, bridal shower cakes, kids cakes. All of our designs are custom, we're happy to created themed cakes for children's parties, weddings, and any event.

Marion, Massachusetts: Boutique Cakes & Cupcakes

Baby Showers, Weddings, Birthdays, & Special Occasions

Dessert Bar and Wedding Cake in Blush, Peach and Tiffany Blue at
Kittansett Club, Oceanfront Private Golf Club, Marion, MA

Gold Themed 50th Birthday Cake, Marion, Massachusetts

As a native to Southeastern Massachusetts, I've always loved being a part of the community! Working at fabulous waterfront venues for birthday parties, wedding, baby showers, bridal events and fun occasions brings me such joy. Every party is different and I love the opportunity to bring your vision for a cake or cupcakes to life!

What Will Baby Bee? Shower Cake
Marion, Massachusetts

Whether design is based on your invitation or based on your location-- sailing is always an exciting theme for any Marion or Mattapoisett celebration! Or a color scheme is where we start- think Lily Pulitzer for any preppy birthday party that needs a cake!

3D sculpted sailboat cake perfect for any yacht club
event in Padanaram, Marion, Mattapoisett, Fairhaven
New Bedford, Falmouth, or Bourne

Sometimes, the location lends itself to the cake, cupcake or dessert bar theme. Reservation Golf Club, New Bedford Country Club and Allendale Country Club of South Dartmouth always lend themselves well to that man in your
life that loves the game!

I'm always a fan of a great groom's cake, too! Think your favorite sailboat or your favorite bottle of scotch! A Red Sox hat groom's cake is always a favorite for Boston fans!
