Best Place to get a Cake made....

[Gundo]

My wife is turning 30, and is expecting. Needless to say she has a pregnant lady hard on for all things red velvet right now. Where is the best place to get a good red velvet cake made? The only place I have tried is Buttercream Bake Shop so Im looking for other suggestions.

I'd recommend Whippt....really good quality cake, done by the pastry chef at Sirocco Golf Course.

Perhaps an order from Crave Cupcakes? I think they do custom cakes...

Edelweiss Imports - its a German Market and bakery

Sunterra also has a great bakery

Remember to call back and cancel after they have already made your custom cake and then go pick one off the shelf at Safeway.

The tiramisu at the downtown Sunterra is quite good.

I've always had good experiences with the buttercreme bakery on 17th.

If you are having a party for her, do yourself a favor and don't by the mix at a liquor store, it is very expensive there

I'd second Edelweiss. They do awesome cakes.

Glamorgan Bakery also has really good cakes.

I just had a cake from here for a friend's birthday and it was the best cake i've ever tasted.

Wherever you go, just insist that you pay upon pickup.

I have to second this. The cake weighs about 15 pounds of chocolate diabetes inducing goodnes. Seriously can only eat half a piece or I go into a coma.

Plus you can get a delish lunch at Holy Grill when you pick it up. All Win.

I find Buttercream Bakery's cake to be a little dense. It's the same batter mix as their cupcakes, so if you like light and fluffy cakes, this place is not for you.

With that being said, I have ordered from Buttercream for a few birthday's for the girlfriend, and the designs came out amazing.

I thought Naruto was for 17 year olds, not 27.

I'm still waiting for DQ to come out with an ice cream cake that is made entirely out of the fudgey-cookie inner part. That would be the best cake ever.

[Miniac]

I really like the Marble Slab Cakes (ice cream cakes). You can go in and get it custom made. Or if your lazy you can order it online!

[Sr. Mints]

Lick's on Memorial Dr. NW does pretty nice ice cream cakes too. We got one for somebody which was tropical-ish: mango, coconut and strawberry, if I recall. It was excellent.

I don't much care for ice cream cakes. I can have ice cream any time. Cake is for special occasions, so it has to be grand . . . and fluffy. And chocolate with nuts.

There is a secret ingredient you are missing for red velvet.

Melly's Bakery on Memorial Drive in the NE (at 68th Street) has awesome cakes.

The purple ube cake will have you coming back for more - and the whole thing is purple.
