Get the Party Grooving with a Mouth Watering and Stylish Big Bang Theory Cake Did you know that Mayim Chaya Bialik, who plays the part of Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler in the hilarious sitcom ‘The Big Bang Theory’, actually has a doctorate in neuroscience? Now that’s what we call fact meeting fiction! Ever since it debuted in the fall of 2007, the show has earned top TV ratings and gone on to capture the attention of teenagers and teenagers at heart. One of the reasons
Did you know that the tune for our national anthem was originally that of an old English drinking song? (Really - we don't make these things up.) Considering the effort and creativity that goes into beverages here in the U.S., that might just make a lot of sense. (Or maybe it was the other way around?) Whatever the case, we definitely have an affinity for ales and beer, wines and liquors, sodas and coffees - and boy, can we come up with some tasty combinations for
We bet you didn't know that during World War II, over 12% of the U.S. population served in the military. That's a pretty interesting fact, we think. Of course, different times required larger sacrifices, but all of us owe a debt to that 12% and everything that they accomplished for our country. And while the different branches of our military - Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, Marine Corps - are populated with less .5% of our citizens today, as we all know, there are many
It might be hard for some brides to believe in this day and age of reality shows that cover the best and the worst of All Things Wedding - from Bridezillas to My Fair Wedding and beyond - but sometimes, the best weddings are small, intimate affairs from a handful of guests to just the happy couple and their witnesses. It's not necessarily about the money it takes to host a huge wedding event. Besides the fact that it could be a second marriage ("been there,
You've had the wedding (and the wedding cake), you moved on to the baby shower (and the baby shower cake), you graduated to the "welcome new baby!" stage (yeah, there's a cake for that, too!) -- and now, it's time to start making some new memories . . . the ones that happen every year when you celebrate the birthday of that wonderful new family member. First birthdays, well, they're a big deal, that's for sure. Even if the star of the show (aka, the Birthday
Oh, yeah - we know how to P-A-R-T-A-Y in Las Vegas! As we've shown you before, we make plenty of cakes that combine our worldwide claim to fame (we mean gambling, not divorces) with celebrating birthdays - Las Vegas-style. (See the little Minions? Being corrupted by gambling chips and die?) But because there's a LOT of ways to put a little Vegas on your cake - we're going to focus on birthdays this post. (And probably the next one, too! Because really - there's a lot
Who says cakes have to be round or square? We have fun turning some of our favorite animated, furry or legendary characters into just the sweetest things. (get it? sweetest
When a bride and groom are in the midst of planning the event for the most important day of their lives, it's easy to get caught up in the minutiae of meeting everyone's expectations - whether or not any of them actually make sense or have a logical place in 'tradition.' We've all been to weddings before - we've seen things that we like, that we don't like, and probably a lot of things perhaps we don't even understand. But what takes place on a
It's only a matter of hours now until the make-believe zombies will be mingling with the real ones, wandering our streets on October 31. And how are you going to tell the difference of who's (a) real (zombie) - and who's not? Well, you might need to do a bit of light reading to help you with that one (like this article -- or perhaps this info about The Zombie Survival Guide (hey, it's on Wikipedia - it MUST be true, right?) But in case you're just
If you're anything like us, you've been looking forward to fall - if for nothing else, the great sports contests that we get to watch this time of year. We're willing to bet (based on our customers, anyway) that a whole bunch of folks who celebrate their birthdays between September and January have had their day coincide with a favorite game at least once. So it just seems fitting that "birthdays" and "sports" should wind up together in one great place - and where would
