HI Ladies,
I am co-hosting a baby shower in a few weeks and I have been put in charge of ordering the cake. I would like to get something a little nicer than a cake from Kroger or Sams, so does anyone have any recommendations that will not break the bank? I have already researched Servatti's, North College Hill Bakery, Bonbonerie. I also live on the west side but I am willing to travel if the cake is worth it. Also the mom-to-be requested white cake with white icing. I was just looking for some other options.
Re: Cake ?
We taste tested Diane's on the west side. Pretty good and very inexpensive but we liked others better.

Latest Blog Update: Peanut Butter Cookie with Salted Peanut Caramel
I agree with St Lawrence Bakery!

Shalini did our wedding cake - and it was fabulous! She makes chocolates for Findlay Market stores (I know Market Wines carries them) and has actually published a book on cake decorating. She's more affordable than you'd think, though.
Beside all that - she's just a genuinely nice lady.
Fantasy in Frosting makes really cute baby cakes and they are affordable too - give them a call.
For every baby shower I have hosted I have gone to Cake Creations by Sue on Harrison Ave.

The are only doing cookies and cupcakes now, but their cookies are delicious and always get raves from guests! Definitely affordable and they are custom made, so you can do any design/color/etc you want. They have galleries to look at what they've done. I highly recommend.
Believe it or not, you might want to look at Busken. A couple years ago, I used them for a baby shower. The cake was really good, and wasn't too expensive. I think that division is called CakeTown??
We now have a family member who can make awesome cakes, so we usualy ask her if she is available. (She even made my wedding cake!!)
HTH!
