Noob Question - Recommended Bakers & Decorators
Decorating By dhouser Updated 18 Jul 2007 , 1:12am by cambo
Hi,
I have researched the web and this site for picture/3-D cake bakers in my area but there doesn't seem to be any common ratings or recommendation system/web site.
If there is, can you point me to it? If there isn't, I'm looking for bakers/decorators in Northern Virginia - Fairfax, Arlington, etc. Maybe DC or Montgomery County. Can anyone recommend any or tell me what I need to look for/ask when I call them up? Are they any good, or is there someone who does this at home? Also what to expect it to cost?
I'm looking to have a surprise cake for January 1 (otherwise I'd have a go at it) that is either a 3-d or picture cake of a World of Warcraft character (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com).
Sorry if this is inappropriate or in the wrong forum. Thanks a lot.
I would love to help you, my husband is big into this stuff and it would be a fun cake to make, but I live in Delaware, OH.
Sorry I can't help.

I don't know about a recommendation system, but just about anyone on CakeCentral I would recommend. If you start a post that you are looking for a decorator in "insert your location" there are decorators from all over the world on this forum. I am sure someone is around the area. Then you can take a look at their photos they have posted online here and see if it is someone you would like to make the cake.
As for pricing I would personally start a 3D cake like that around $5/serving, However since it is a licensed character I probably wouldn't do it (but don't be discouraged there are still decorators who would) You didn't say how many people you were looking for it to feed this is why I gave you a per serving price.
You can also go to the memberlist and search by location. You may find someone this way also.
HTH, and welcome to the boards!
Hmm for a cake that small you are probably still looking at spending a minimum of $50 for a 3D cake, maybe even more. I think your best bet would be to get a picture put onto a cake or buy one of the figurines off of the site and have a cake decorated to match the theme.
Wish I was closer I think this would be a fun one to try to do.
Ok, I know a lady whos name is Janet. Janet's cakes she is in virginia. She makes great cakes and good pricing and the cakes are delicious. She made great stuff 3-D. You can go to her website
www.janetscakes.com
I hope this will help
Holy cow....her cakes are amazing! I rec'd a request for a karate/tae kwon do cake and she has an amazing one on her website! Thanks for the link...and sorry I'm off-topic a little!
