Birthday Cake

[newmummy]

Hi,

My son's first birthday is coming up end of April. Can anyone suggest a good/premium cake shop that offers children birthday cakes? I'm not looking at commercial cake shops such as S&P etc.

Thanks.

There are a couple of nice cake shops in Emporium near the food shop. Pricey and full of foul butter icing, but attractive (if you like that sort of thing!)

You mean like a not-for-profit cooperate cake shop where you can barter on a fair-trade principle with organically grown soy beans from your own garden? (Don't answer that.

Anyway, I know from recent experience when mine turned 1 that most of the cake will end up in his face or on the wall anyway. I don't think 1 year old is a good age to get all connaisseurish on pastry. And the pictures will come out the same, you can't tell that it's crap Thai margarine based icing and not fresh whipped cream in his hair.

The latter would possibly be easier to clean though, but my message stands to not go overboard on exquisite pâtisserian delights. (if that's a word.)

What an exceptionally Thai picture.. Not just th cake design, but especially that it's served on the floor.

Hmm... didn't think of mess but I guess it's OK, afterall it's baby's birthday! Perhaps the cake is more for my enjoyment than baby's.

The hubs had a look at paragon but claims it doesn't have cakes for children. Guess I need to check myself.

Chanchoe, not nice. I would agree though that children of that age have no idea what sort of cake they are getting, nor any concept of birthday. Don't waste too much money. How about a cake mix and a jar of nutella as icing?

Also, kids find anything made out of jelly highly fascincating. They actually do have very colorful jelly birthday 'cakes'.

Come to think of it, those jelly cones with plastic covers that are impossible to remove are the closest thing on this good Earth to a 'pause' button for screeming kids.

Pathum cake house does some really good cake. they are in sukhumvit..somewhere between soi 39 and 49 sorry not good with addresses..but google for them

also at Seefah restaurant the cakes are pretty good (taste), not sure how they do in terms of fancy decor to attract children, but im sure once you talk to them it can be arranged. you need to pick them up yourself though

and yes the suggestion for the cake stalls at emporium might be an option..theres one that does the photo cake..you could put a pic of the baby on it. he/she might recognise the face and enjoy that as long as the adults dont have too much qualms about cutting the cake face

have a happy bday party

thanks MiG16 - will get the hubby into researching for the place.

heard about photo cake - any idea which cake stall? will have to make a trip to emporium then! the hubs hates the traffic down that way and will only go down sukhumvit on sundays.

chanchao - perhaps not jelly for a 1yr old - afraid bubs might choke
