There's no better way to make someone's birthday extra special than to surprise them with a birthday cake, which is exactly what I did for a friend recently. After researching a few cake places, I decided to try Tiara Cakes due to its excellent Yelp reviews. I must say, I was very pleased with my choice- definitely the "icing on the cake" for this birthday celebration.
My friend is a huge New England Patriots fan so it was a no-brainer for me when trying to come up with a theme for his cake. I found a design on Pinterest that I really liked and decided to stop by Tiara Cakes before finalizing my decision to use their services to inquire about pricing and to see if they could make my cake similar to the Pinterest design. The lady I spoke with was nice and answered all my questions. A few days later, I came back to place my order. She asked me to email her the picture of the design and said she would try her best to get it exactly like the picture, however because my cake size was going to be smaller than the cake on Pinterest, I figured it wouldn't be exact.
When I picked up the cake, I was pleased with the outcome. But I have to be honest- I was a little disappointed that she didn't add some of the cake toppers the picture had- a helmet, a small Patriots flag, a football, and a #1 fan hand. I'm assuming she didn't have any similar toppers. Either way, it still turned out pretty awesome as it did have the Patriots colors and logo on it. My advice would be to make sure you stress the specifics of what you want to be included on your cake (toppers, etc.) especially if you have a picture and want certain things to be exactly the same. Prices here are very reasonable, which is a plus. I think I bought an 8 inch one layer cake and it was $50.00. They require you to pay half when you order as a deposit and the rest upon pick up. They have multiple flavors, filings, and icings to choose from but I kept it simple and went with a vanilla cake flavor with butter cream icing. I was hoping the cake would taste as good as it looked and I was right. It was everything! Very moist and the buttercream icing was as good as buttercream icing can get. Yes and yes!
Would I use Tiara Cakes again? Absolutely! Overall, they delivered on presentation as well as taste AND my friend couldn't have been more surprised to have a birthday cake, swagged out "Patriots-style" so the mission was definitely accomplished. Thanks Tiara Cakes! read more
