Cakes for All Occasions and Celebrations - Baked to Perfection with Icing and Fruit Toppings

Cakes are never out of fashion in a birthday celebration. It is the center of attraction, dropping jaws and salivating tongue. The birthday boy or girl dreams of a designer baked delight, topped with fruits, nuts, berries, cherries, and cream frosting layers. Lately, themes have replaced traditional floral decorations, ribbons, balls, and candles. Custom birthday cakes with bespoke fillings and toppings are popular. Below are a few classic and traditional recipes.

 

  1. Yellow Butter Cake

 

Yellow Butter Cake is a kid’s favorite for celebrating a birthday without experimenting with new themes and designs. It is a pastry chef’s first choice for an old-school birthday party. The cake features heaps of chocolate frosting and rainbow sprinkles. The process involves whipping the butter and sugar in an electric blender-mixer by pouring the moist and dry ingredients. Other mainstay ingredients are wheat flour, sugar, eggs, and baking soda. This American-style or German butter cake has few parallels.

 

  1. Sponge Cake

 

A sponge cake is unique, as it does not use artificial leaveners like baking soda or baking powder. The volume is from the whipped eggs (albumen and yolk). It is the mother of all modern-day cakes, if not the ultimate choice. This cake is soaked in flavored syrup, preferably lemon syrup, and served with sour curd. It features layers of whipped cream and smashed berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc.). The three staple ingredients comprising granulated sugar, eggs, and low-protein flour make it a classic birthday delight.

 

  1. Red Velvet Cake

 

This is an absolute favorite and classic baked preparation, typical of the Southern US states like California. The principal ingredients are cocoa powder and buttermilk, which create a pinkish-red hue, oil, butter, sugar, and refined wheat flour. Newer bakeries achieve the red tint by adding food-grade colors. Whether a raspberry or strawberry velvet cake, the splendid cream cheese or ermine icing creates a stunning visual.

 

End Note

 

When I order custom birthday cakes near me from a local bakery in Glendale, I prefer popular cafeterias like Art’s Bakery & Cafe that have carved out a niche. Other bakeries offer a range of freshly baked menus from grandma's cookbook. However, this traditional confectionery brand has a signature style for every handmade bakery item, such as cakes, pastries, cookies, and doughnuts.
