Cakes New Jersey For All Occasions

By Jaclyn Hurley


Any type of celebration, from a babies first birthday to a silver wedding anniversary, needs a special cake. There are many excellent bakeries to choose from ranging from a small local establishment to a huge store that produces hundreds of cakes New Jersey every year.

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 the time comes to decide on the flavor of the cake this can be a really hard decision. Some folks will always go for the tried and trusted favorites such as chocolate and vanilla. These classic flavors are really perfect for any situation and the host can be sure their guests will love them. But with a host of interesting twists on the traditional flavors it may be fun to try one of them.

Chocolate is also a family favorite. Many people love the decadence of a rich chocolate cake, decorated with lots of chocolate frosting. This is a very simple recipe that most people can manage and is made even better by using local or organic ingredients. For a twist use hazelnut or mocha frosting. This is a quick and easy way to make a basic cake more sophisticated and perfect for a grown ups dinner party, after the kids are in bed.

Carrot cake is a moist and delicious treat. It is surprisingly easy to make, but does require a little preparation time. For this reason most people just opt to buy their carrot cake at a store. Finding one that makes everything from scratch is the key to a fresh and tasty cake. Cream cheese frosting is the perfect pairing for carrot cake and is perfect to serve for dessert after a special Sunday dinner.

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.

Lemon juice and zest are the perfect ingredients for making a cake just that little bit different and special. The extra flavor is subtle and a simple glaze drizzled over the top of the cake adds the right amount of sweetness.

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.
