T Train Birthday Cake

There's a little boy who just adores T train that he actually carries around and studies catalogues with this T train. Naturally, when he saw this cake, he was "in awe" as his parents described. We were very pleased with the result as well, especially because the birthday boy was so happy with it. To top it all off, it was made with marshmallow fondant, which unlike your regular fondant actually tastes good! Happy Birthday C!

Very Pink Chocolate Cupcakes

A truly sweet little girl wanted some chocolate cupcakes with REALLY pink frosting. Here are the results. They were made extra special with sprinkles of pink sugar glitters as well as sweet little roses on top... just like the birthday girl.

These are lemon mini cupcake pops that were given out as bridal shower favors. We were inspired to make them after learning about them through Bakerella.

Cakes by Choix

In order: angel food cake with strawberry and mascarpone frosting; coconut mochi cake; red velvet cake; raspberry & white chocolate cheesecake.

Whoopie!

I have seen whoopie pies at bakeries before, but it wasn't until I saw an article about them that sparked my interest to make some. And... they were great!!! I'm planning to make some strawberry ones as well as pumpkin ones- the latter would be grrrrreat for the the fall and winter events.

They were recently given out as a thank-you gift as shown here.

A Princess Party

Princess friends received a candy wand along with a formal invitation.

Children filled up the colorful take-out boxes full of candies (note the pretty little lollipops sticking out of each boxes).

Princesses bouncing around! They also played a relay game where they raced with a book on their heads.

Princess friends took pictures like this (J's dog is modeling here) after decorating their tiaras and getting made-up.

On the menu: mini pizza, PB&J and turkey&guacamole sandwiches in different shapes, fried ravioli, punch; and fruit kabobs (a picture of us making them).

Castle cake!

Michelle's Baby Shower

Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of catering a baby shower for beautiful, then-expecting, Michelle. "Mini Food" was the theme, so we had mini pizzas, mini kabobs, mini crudite cups and mini finger sandwiches to name a few of the food items. For the dessert table, we had mini tiramisu trifles, mini cupcakes and caramel apples on popsicle sticks, mini chocolate fondue bar, and mini choux puffs. Our associate Christine did an exceptional job with the invitations, menu cards and penants. We also have to mention Michelle's friends Dana and Weili for a wonderful job hosting and helping with the food, as well as Michelle and Nanci for the beautiful pictures. Lastly, a big thank-you to Michelle for letting us play a big part in your special day and for sharing those great ideas.

chef themed birthday party

This is an example of a customized birthday party we offer at Choix.

The birthday girl had been showing interest in cooking and had been having a blast in the kitchen, so... chef themed birthday party was the perfect solution! The children decorated their aprons and hats, posed for the camera with their chef's outfit, made their own pizza and then ate the pizza, played games, decorated their own cupcakes and filled up their favor boxes with candies! What more can a kid ask for?
