Happy 235th Birthday, United States Marines!

Last Friday, November 5th, we celebrated the 235th Birthday of the United States Marines.  This is the fourth cake we have made for the U.S. Marines Birthday Ball, and each year we do a different design for them.  This year however  they surprised us and asked for the same design as last year, with just a couple minor changes.  Rick added a ribbed effect to the red area and made the whole side of the cake a beautiful gold color. The cake was just as massive as last year and the same flavor, Strawberries Chantilly was ordered again.  The officers who greeted us were thrilled with the cake and we were very happy with it as well.  We want to wish the United States Marines a Happy 235th Birthday, and we look forward to serving them again next year!

Congratulations, Colonel Thomas!

Becoming a Colonel is a once in a lifetime promotion, and if you are one of the lucky few, like Colonel Ed Thomas, you get to celebrate with a cake. We recognize how special it is to be promoted in the military and we wanted to make sure Colonel Thomas' promotion ceremony was truly magical, a day he would never forget! Rick designed his cake to have a sculpted flag and a silver eagle -- perfect for a promotion to full bird Colonel in the Air Force. Colonel Thomas' wife and sons showed up at our studio to pick up the cake and were grinning from ear to ear and were so excited about the cake. We could tell how proud the boys were of their father, and how special this day was for the entire family. Congratulations, Colonel Ed Thomas! Enjoy your promotion!
