We celebrate our fifth year with three custom confections -- which one takes the cake?
Vesta Bakery This adorable cake had us at hello with its handcrafted fish and lobster decorations staged atop a fluffy, whipped vanilla buttercream frosting. The cake itself was chocolate, super moist and almost like a mousse. Filled with a chocolate raspberry ganache that reminded of a Valentine’s Day candy reincarnated, we gobbled it right down... then went back for seconds. Birthdays are for splurging, after all. 47 Railroad Avenue, Westerly. 348-7055
Sweet Althea's Probably well suited to be served at an Alice in Wonderland inspired tea party, this fun cake hit all the right visual notes. Under a thick layer of buttercream (made with really good butter – we could taste the quality) and fondant, we found a savory, spiced pumpkin cake. The frosting had a lovely kick of spices including cinnamon and nutmeg. It was the perfect fall treat. 232A Sand Hill Cove Road, Narragansett. 932-9473
Upper Crust As Upper Crust won our September 2010 apple pie taste test, we couldn’t wait to sample this cake. It tasted exactly like birthday cake should: moist layers of French vanilla bean and chocolate fudge, frosted with a light coating of buttercream. We all raved over the filling: chocolate mousse with a decadent smattering of cookies and cream. 134 Main Street, Westerly. 315-5990
