Happy Birthday Cake!

Five of Our Favorites

Cakes are to a birthday what fireworks are to July 4th. Good ones make the party; great ones make a celebration!

We chose four bakers-of-cakes in four different styles, because we all have different taste. With one caveat: every single cake has to be super delicious. Here are our picks:

Confections By Crystal - gorgeous, skillful decoration. She creates pretty much anything a kid might want - and adults (Banksy inspired. How fabulous is that?)

Great Cakes - Beloved for his amazing cakes and generosity, Rick Dickinson’s simply decorated and witty cakes are now available at The Granola Bar.

The Cake Box - Westporters had to drive to Ridgefield for these fun retro-glam cakes, until they opened a bakery downtown. Oh - and everything they make is available gluten-free.

Seasalt Bakery- Not into cake? How about an enormous gourmet cookie (Ghirardelli chocolate, European butter) conveniently delivered to your home?

Samantha Leuzzi - If “wildly inventive” is your thing, Samantha’s your go-to. We couldn’t resist her ramen cake!
