Birthday Preparations

Me and my sis' birthday is almost at hand. We share one birth date, exactly a year apart as it is, and every year we try to celebrate it on that very date. Anyway, for this year, my mother has pursuaded us to try and have a unique / novelty / specialty cake for the celebration. The reason: to celebrate our 21st birthday, though a year late for me and two years late for my sister, because in Ireland, the 21st birthday is when they pull out all stops in the celebration.

Searching for that special cake is quite taxing, especially since there are not that much cake designers around in Manila. I tried looking in the net for tips on choosing a cake designer and here's the list so far:

Shop N Zip
It is an online shop with a lot of designs or various types of cakes. I am just not sure if they create specific designs for each of their costumers.

Kink Cakes
This specialty shop unfortunately has no website, but Reuters has written an article about them and shot a video regarding the shop and what they offer. A regular sized cake for 15 people ranges from PhP1000 to PhP1500 with no additional cost for complex designs.

Planet Cake House
Planet Cake House is another specialty cake house. Though they have no website as well, they have posted pictures of their past creations on http://www.sulit.com.ph for perusal of potential costumers.

This cake shop creates wonderful theme cakes for weddings. I am just not sure about other occasions though. Their cakes range from PhP4000 depending on the design. They were also among the featured cake shops in an article from Inquirer.

Cakes By Carla - http://www.cbcarla.com
Dexter's Bakeshop and Coffee House - http://www.dextersbakeshop.com
Cake Concepts - http://www.cakeconcepts.com/
These websites offers a lot of designs to choose from. They also cater to creating a cake out of your own designs. Unfortunately, they have no price range written on the website regarding each cake. They do, however, have contact numbers and addresses on their websites so as to direct potential buyers to where they could order their one-of-a-kind cake.
