A&D Loves: Tazzy Cakes (A Fairy Theme Birthday Cake)

Two Sundays ago, my little niece A celebrated her 1st birthday. My assignment was the cake and the giveaways. So I made it a point that my sister will like the cake! And she did!

I've been hearing a lot about Tazzy Cakes. I've seen cakes done by Cat (owner of Tazzy Cakes) and they were really good so I was excited when achi said to find her a good baker. This was the perfect time to try Tazzy Cakes!

A's birthday theme is fairies. And my sister already had a peg for the cake. I emailed Cat two months before the date and I showed Cat the photo below plus achi wanted it to be Cath Kidson-esque.

There's no downpayment, she does by honesty policy. :) After a week or so, She emailed a sketch of the cake which I emailed to my achi for approval. We had minor changes and we just waited until the day of the party to see the cake!

Ok, before I show you the cake. Can I just say that I love her and the cake! I actually booked her na for my R's birthday in June. #pangsuspenselang

Here's the cake!`

Tadahhhh!!! Ang ganda ng cake promise!!!

Everyone loved the cake! :) I'm happy they did. Even my shobe wanted to get her for her 2nd baby's birthday which she haven't even given birth yet to! They're that impressed! Can't wait til R's birthday party!

Y's Birthday Series: The Cake and Cupcakes

I first learned about Les Sucreries thru a friend's friend who was also planning her daughter's first birthday. I checked her Multiply site for the work she's done and I was impressed. When I emailed Veronica around April, she replied and said to email her back on June since it was still early. I emailed her on June, I indicated how many layers I want, sent her our sample invitation to give her a peg, and the colors I wanted. (She only makes buttercream cakes, no fondant.) She asked if I wanted to see a sample layout on how the cake would look like, she requires a Php400 fee that will be deducted from your total bill, I said YES!

Here's what she sent me:

And here's the final layout (which is the combination of the two layouts):

I also ordered fifty cupcakes, 25 with orange frosting, and the other 25 with blue frosting. I asked her to deliver the cake and cupcakes to our venue. She charges delivery fee depending on your location. It was a bit pricey but I don't want to worry about the cake. She only delivers when your total bill is Php4,000 and up.

I only got to see the cake on the day itself. When I saw the cake, I was shocked on how orange it was! Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with the appearance. I had a high expectation based on her work and photos in her site. It wasn't cute. But lots of people complimented the cake (or maybe they were just being nice haha!) Her work is pulido naman but of course first thing you would see is the appearance of the cake. But what can I do? I can't return the cake, it's already paid for. I just hoped the cake tastes good. And it is good, kulang lang sa moist! She only makes chocolate cake, by the way. For the cupcakes, I ordered for the ones with plain frosting only, no toppers. The cupcake was so-so, it tasted more like mocha/coffee rather than chocolate.

All of these, we communicated thru emails and text. She's very nice and accommodating, she may not reply to your texts right away, try emailing her. For me it was faster since I'm on the computer almost the whole day. Her price for the cakes are reasonable, as well for the cupcakes. Would I order from them again? I might but only just the cake.
