Well, I just came back from Gladstone Park Bakery to pick up my daughter's birthday cake, and all I can say is WOW! My family and I have been ordering from Gladstone for years, and NEVER has the decorating been this good! Maybe the change in management miffed the previous reviewer, but I say whatever they're doing, they should keep on doing!
Last spring, I tried to order a Hannah Montana cake for my youngest daughter's birthday, and all they could do for me was cake in the shape of a guitar that didn't even really look like Hannah Montana's guitar. The neck of the guitar was cardboard, it wasn't even edible. The colors were off, too. It was cute, but nothing spectacular.
The cake I just picked up, however, was a full-body cut out of Hannah Montana herself! The decorator actually painted a realistic portrait of Hannah onto the cake! And it was affordable, too!
And as for paczki day, I think this was the best paczki day I've seen them have, and my family agrees. They had all kinds of new flavors that I've never seen in a paczki before, like oreo, raspberry chocolate mousse, and chocolate cheesecake (my favorite). Gladstone's the only place I'd seen with such a wide selection.
While I was there, I picked up some cute little butterfly cakes; they were little pink cakes with chocolate butterflies on top. CUTE! My daughter and her friends LOVED them.
Anyways, I just had to write about this Hannah Montana cake. I wish I could post a picture!
