Patriotic Cakes

Tomorrow is Independence Day and, according to statistics, over 500 people in Tuscaloosa will be celebrating a birthday. Five of them will have a cake from Mary's with a patriotic theme.

Stars, stripes, swags and fireworks are our signature 4th of July designs. Chocolate ganache looks just like a night sky, don't you think?

Under all the chocolate and buttercream are vanilla, lemon, strawberry, chocolate and red velvet cakes.

And at least one local couple is getting married today, with a chocolate bride's cake covered in dark ganache, and complete with fireworks and a bow.

Oh yeah, and an out-of-this world "alien" cake for a guy who is interested in outer space. The little guys are pretty cute, as aliens go, but we can't take full credit for the design as the customer brought in a photo of a similar cake she had found on the web.
