    Hey Philly bees. I'm curious if any of you know Philadelphia-area bakers who are capable of making interestingly-shaped cakes - that is, not just the multi-tiered cake with a design. Specifically we would like a cake shaped and decorated like a stack of books - probably involving fondant - and all the bakers I've had recommended to me so far don't seem able to do work like that. Do you know anybody who can?

    Bredenbecks, and Night Kitchen make some really cool stuff.  In the Chestnut Hill section of the city.  They were both on one of those cake shows, and I go to them regularly for other baked goods.  Will probably go with Night Kitchen for mine.

    We are using the Night Kitchen for our wedding. Ours is a fairly standard round, three-layer cake, but they have pictures of many other interestingly-shaped cakes (including books, Google the Night Kitchen and check the children's birthday cakes album under Specialty Cakes)

    My best friend is a pastry chef and has AMAZING skill at making unique cakes/designs.  http://www.dianemichellecakes.com/gallery.html#

    She can do ANYTHING with fondant.  I don't think she would have trouble with a stack of books! (In fact, I have a feeling that my shower cake will involve something like that - being a librarian and all!) She is right outside of Philly, I only know of one other bakery near Philly that does specialty cakes, and they may have closed.

    I have seen a few things that I found great with this baker:

    Karolyn's Kakes, LLC

    Karolynskakes@comcast.net

    Try her, she has some good stuff.

      I vouch for LibraryBride's recommendation - she is making my cake, and though it isn't super complicated, her cakes TASTE absolutely delcious!  And I have seen her really nice fondant cakes and they are great :)
