I wanted a custom cake for a special birthday party that had a «Moby Dick» theme. I was so lucky to find Silver Cloud Cakes. Its proprietor, Barbara Smith, is not just a baker — she is an artist. I was blown away by the exquisite white whale she sculpted from fondant, its graceful tail arched in a frothy ocean of deep blue and teal green. The cake looked so delicate, yet it was so well constructed, it survived a five-hour car trip from her shop in Manchester, MA, to New York City, and it was absolutely moist and fresh and delicious two days later when we served it. It was a mocha cake with white chocolate buttercream filling, wrapped entirely in fondant. This place is an amazing find. For a wedding or any very special occasion, you won’t do better than Silver Cloud. Check out the Facebook page for photos of the cake!
