I'm a celebrity gossip nut 
, saw this today and thought my fellow CC would get a kick out of it.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes filled a rented Hollywood Hills home with $17,000 worth of fresh flowers and spent almost $5,000 on cakes for daughter Suri's second birthday bash on Saturday. The couple ordered personalized cakes from Los Angeles' Sweet Lady Jane bakery for all 24 guests, and a four-tiered treat was served up to the birthday girl. Cruise also ordered $230 worth of cupcakes from LA bakery Sprinkles - wife Holmes' favorite cake shop.

All that cake for 24 guests?? Sounds like my kind of party!
Now to only find a picture of it..........
It doesn't look like a lot of cake to me - just a lot of moola!
the cake he is carrying was HER cake... according to the qoute.... that probably was a lot of cake if everyone had individual ones... it looks to me like he is holding it up with his chin.. hehehehehe
she is a lovely little lady, looks like mommy with Tom's nose!
LOL where can I find these cake shoppers? A few of these per year and I could work less than part time. 
Wow! What's funny is that I bet anyone on this website could do that cake easy! I mean its cute and all, but $5,000 for that? Seriously..
HA!!!! Purge it all!!!
That's not a huge cake.. 4-6-8-10.. 65 servings (by my chart anyway). I'm sure she got to smoosh it all up. And $230 isn't a ton of custom cuppies when you order from Sprinkles. They are close to $50/dozen when they are custom orders I think. It's $36/dozen for off the shelf.
Ahh to have that sort of disposable income.. *sigh*
Cute cake too!!
I was thinking the same thing too....$5000 for that cake seems a bit much...but who am I to say!
She is super cute! 
I wonder where they got it from?? Does anyone know?
The OP said Sweet Lady Jane Bakery:

Oh to have $$ like that to spend!
Well look at that.. I pulled a dumba$$ and missed that totally. 
Thanks for point it out though!
What a crappy website though.. for $5000 for a cake order they sure did skimp on the site..
Under wedding cake prices on their website it says that they begin at $7 per serving. Does that mean the whole cake can be displayed on a (coffee cup) saucer?

I think the whole "paid $5000 for a cake" kinda took over the message making it easy to miss who made it!
LOL @purged. Surely.
Well, the OP says they paid $5,000 in cakes. This big one for Suri and then personalized ones for each guest. 25 cakes for $5000 is OK in my book. If you can get it, good for you! Having JLo and Pete Sampras on your client list probably helps too.
) pay $26000 for a sylvia cake! can you freakin' imagine?!? ahh what a life it must be... Actually, just doing some quick math...this *could* make sense.
If that is a 4, 6, 8, 10 cake, serving, say, 80 wedding size pieces, and guessing @$9.00 a serving, that's $720.00. Add $230 for the cupcakes. And 24 guests, if they each took home an 8" individualized cake with 24 servings at about $7.00/serving each, for $4032 in guest cakes...that's
720 + 230+ 4032 = $4982.00
Zowie. Not unreasonable, just very, very generous...if that's how it worked.
P.S--LOL at the purging. Who in that group, besides Suri and maybe Tom, would even finish a piece of cake? Maybe that's what the cupcakes were for. Or maybe the 4-tier is a dummy--it sure looks like it's not very heavy, the way he's carrying it...
Must be nice to have all that moolah!
My husband and I recently went to Beverly Hills and I purchased 2 dozen cupcakes from Sprinkles. I just had to go there after I heard that Oprah gets her cupcakes from there. It was $80 for the 2 dozen. They were o.k. but I thought they'd be better. They were kinda dry and didn't last very long. They all had a colored dots on the top indicating which flavor they were. I never made it over to Lady Jane Bakery...now I wish I had made time to go there!

Okay, well that's a bit better. I don't remember reading that there was any other cake besides the one in the photo on this thread.
i'm prob not supposed to tell, but we just had a bride (at a wedding planning firm that i cannot disclose the name of ) pay $26000 for a sylvia cake! can you freakin' imagine?!? ahh what a life it must be...
How many servings? Do you know? I've tasted one of Sylvia's cakes. My husband told me I could have done better.
Yeah on the Sylvia cakes, I just had a bride tell me that her (Sylvia's) yellow cake that I gave them to try was "Moist enough, but could you make it not so dense? I mean, it's good and everything, but...it's not like anyone's going to be lining up for seconds."
...
I was not amused. I figure, if it's good enough for Sylvia's brides, it's good enough for mine.

Oh, it was in the very first post.
I just read on another site that they spent $17,000 in flowers and a grand whopping total of $100,000 for her birthday party! Must be nice to be Suri Cruise! All family and close friends, no celebrities.
Here's a better pic of the cake. The theme for the party was butterflies.
