Fondant Cake Decorating Class for Kids ages 8 to 16 Monday, Jan. 17

Since we opened the doors to our new retail location, October 12, we have received so many requests for classes for both kids and adults. Well, we decided to offer our first Fondant Cake Decorating class to kids during the MLK school break on Monday. We were recently asked by one of our customers to give a semi “private” class to her two boys, ages 8 and 12. They are huge Cake Boss fans and have been dying to learn how to cover a cake in fondant. We agreed to host them and they had a blast. We sent each of them home with a beautiful fondant cake which they did entirely on their own. We are offering this same class on Monday. Class sizes are limited. You will learn:
How to trim a cake
How to crumb coat and ice a 2-layer cake
How to apply a fondant covering
Basic cake decorating skills

You will be able to choose between a Splurge Bakery vanilla or chocolate fudge cake.
There are three sessions to choose from:
10 am – 12 pm
1 pm – 3 pm (almost sold out)
4 pm – 6 pm

Price is $50.00 for the 2 hour class and you will go home with a 6″ 2 layer cake.
Contact us at 973-379-0740 to sign up today!

50th Anniversary Cookie Favors

50th Anniversary

 

I have been so remiss in taking photos of all the great cookies we’ve been doing.  Here is one from last week - our approach for cookie favors for a milestone anniversary.   We love to put the original wedding photo on a cookie and tie with gold ribbon.  It will get a real “look at this!” moment from friends and family!  Our client here called us the next day just overwhelmed with how beautiful her cookies looked and how special everything was.  Mail us the photo (we will return it to you), or scan your photo at a high resolution, 300 dpi, and email to us.  Your anniversary cookie favors will be a special touch to a very special milestone event!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake you can serve to Adults!

Valentines Cookie Cake_edited-2-1I realized I have not posted a blog in a long time – sorry about that – time seems to pass so quickly!  We have lots of exciting things going on at Splurge Bakery.  We continue to produce some of the most creative, and beautiful personalized cookies on the market for  milestone parties and corporate events. In addition, we are busy expanding our offering of personalized desserts.  One of our latest additions in an incredibly delicious chocolate chip cookie cake – good enough for adults and children alike. As a testament to Splurge Bakery’s  Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake, we received a call from a friend of ours who needed a special gift to get him in the door at some of the top advertising agencies in NYC.  He noticed our cookie cake on our website and ordered a dozen of them with his logo and a special Valentine’s Day message.    The cookie cake “door opener” was a huge success.  He had agency people, who are normally very difficult to get on the phone, call him to say “thank you” for the most delicious chocolate chip cookie cake they have ever had!   As he follow-up with the others, he was able to get appointments with them very easily.  What better way to make a lasting impression than with a delicious Splurge Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake delivered to your door.  We can put any message or image on the cake, just like our personalized cookies.  By the way, we don’t think frosting mixes very well with chocolate chip cookies – we prefer to use more high quality chocolate as our icing…..Yum!

1st Birthday Cookie Favors

We love 1st birthday parties – I remember planning my daughter’s first birthday, it’s such a special time.  Frankly, I wanted so much to find something personalized that would show off her name and feature her.  Here I was, living in New York City, and I could not find what I was looking for, which got me thinking about a personalized cookie business I ended up starting!  I settled on black and white cookies – except I had them made purple and white – with my daughter’s name written in icing.  Not a bad idea, in fact I plan on introducing black and whites later this year.  But now, Splurge Bakery offers such cool personalized favors for your baby’s 1st birthday.  One really great idea is to let us create a cookie based on your invitation. We can do this for any type party.   Here is an invitation for a 1st birthday party:Tess invite(3)_edited-1and here is the cookie we created.Blog 2She is so cute!
