Scooby Doo Party

We felt bad that we have abandoned to upload family’s pictures to our blog as a result of putting clients’ pictures as our top priority. This occasion happened back in September 2008 for Nanda’s five-years-old birthday party.

We were discussing the theme for Nanda’s birthday party and Scooby Doo came out as our final decision. We were amazed with Food Network’s sculpted cakes and wished for something different and creative. Fonny did her homework and dared several pastry chefs at Columbus to bake a scooby doo sculpted fondant cake. Most of them refused to do it because of the copyright and carving skill is mandatory.

After almost a month of hard work trying to discover the best out of the best, the final two pastry chefs that we considered the most excellent were Short North Piece of Cake and Ma Ma’s Cake Creations. Restu was persistent to have a sculpted cake instead of a sheet cake with scooby doo as a cake topper, and therefore we opted for Ma Ma’s Cake Creations. The cake got a lot of compliments from our friends and her business cards disappeared within two minutes. Amanda was very nice to throw the scooby’s snack wrapped in a gift box made with vanilla cake and vanilla buttercream free of charge for us.

The Scooby Doo was a chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache in-between layers of cake and covered with vanilla buttercream. The cake was so moist, scrumptious, and not too sweet for our taste buds. Nanda actually selected the chocolate flavor by himself during cake tasting. Cutting the cake was a different story, quite a challenge. We felt sorry for Ian, Nanda’s friend from preschool. He looked choking, paled, and ran away to his parents after seeing Fonny cut Scooby’s neck. No doubt that Amanda is an artist. She can create a piece of art in the form of cake. And, Ian’s reaction told us that he thought it was a real Scooby Doo, not a cake. Fortunately, nobody got hurt or sad during the party, including Ian.

Every kid had fun playing at Pump It Up for different inflatable rides. The parents were welcome to play too. The party was continued by taking a group picture, and shifted to another room to cut the cake and open gifts. We love Pump it Up because they took care evertyhing, all our needs.

Divine Wedding baked homemade cookies: chocolate chips, oatmeal and raisin, white chocolate chips and pistachio, and chocolate chips and walnut. A plastic bag filled with cookies and accessorized with blue and chocolate ribbons that matched to Scooby Doo’s color theme. Our friend, Kartika Mediani, a senior CCAD student, created a caricature version of Fonny holding iPhone…the image was printed on a card and attached to the goodie bag. We think she is a talented lady that will have a bright future waiting for her.
