Cakes

[Amber]

I just recently moved back to Erie after being gone for 5 years, and the lady that did all my family's cakes seems to have disappeared, which resulted in a last minute trip to Giant Eagle for my baby shower cake. Now that we are coming up on Alex's baptism, I'm on the search for a good, reasonably priced baker. I enjoyed Giant Eagle's cake, but if there's someone better out there, I'd rather go with someone local than a big store.

Linda Austin does make a good cake, but expensive. I use Karen at Urbaniak's at 310 East 24th Street. She makes a great cake and is reasonably priced. For my daughter's First Birthday, I ordered a nine inch round, 2 layer cake and a smash cake. I think I paid $25 or $30. It had buttercream frosting and cute balloon decorations. I ordered a cake a few years ago from Linda Austin, it was a 5inch round, 2 layer cake for my husband's birthday. It cost around $60, I think. It depends on what you consider reasonable. I also had Karen make my parent's 30th wedding anniversary cake, 1/4 of a sheet, decorated in their wedding colors, with fudge filling, cost $25 or $30.

Yeah, typically we got a 1/2 sheet cake, no filling, with whipped cream frosting for about $30 from our old cake lady. My wedding cake was priced at $1.25 or $1.50 a slice, and we had tons left over! I wish my mom could remember her last name so we could track her down!

I highly recommend "It Takes the Cake" by Wendy Adams! She is fantastic- hands down the best cake I've ever had. She does a cute animal- themed cake for birthday parties here at the zoo. She did my wedding cake and several other family occasions.

Just an idea since I have only visited Erie a few times (we are moving there this year) I would try Wegman's if you can't find a baker, but I would call a Bridal shop or pick up a local bridal magazine or see if there is a candy shop that sells supplies or a craft shop. Good luck and please pass the name along when you find a person.

See fellow ErieMom's member Laura Marinucci, who owns the Cookie Mug, she had great looking cupcakes today.

I talked to Wendy Adams and she is happy to help anyone in need of a cake. She also allowed me to post her number:

I would recommend Jennifer Shaffer in Girard for a cake. I believe she is in the telephone directory. She made my daughter's birthday cake a couple years ago and it was so incredible I didn't want to eat it. The flowers looked like the real thing.... It seemed reasonable at the time. It was a work of art!
