4093.0. "WINNIE THE POOH" by PONDA::JUSSAUME () Wed May 01 1996 16:02

    I need some pointers on where to find experienced bakeries
    or cake decorators.  My nephew's first birthday is coming up
    and I would like to have a special cake made decorated in
    the Winnie the Pooh theme.
    
    Are there any recommendations?
    
    Thank you.

    My son is a big winnie the pooh fan and we bought his cake at king
    soopers here in colorado. They did a wonderful job.

    Should have mentioned in my original note... I would need a
    place here in Massachusetts.

4093.4How about Do-It-YourselfSIPAPU::KILGOREThe UT Desert Rat living in COThu May 02 1996 11:456
I'm sure I have seen Winnie the Pooh cake molds at various craft stores.  Our
neighbor bought a sheep mold for Easter, baked according to instructions and
it was not cooked completely inside.  So she started over and baked it another
10 minutes and the cake came out looking great.  She is a novice to cooking 
and baking and a Martha Stewart groupie.  She tried her hand at decorating the
cake herself using tips from Martha and had a very professional looking cake.
4093.5Good intentions sometimes lead to...STAR::DIPIRROThu May 02 1996 12:139
    	A number of years ago, I went to my nephew's birthday party when he
    was turning four. His mom had a Winnie the Pooh cake made which came
    out great and looked just like him (it was a long time ago and in
    central Illinois - so not relevant here). After everyone sang happy
    birthday and Nick blew out the candles, mom pulled out a huge knife and
    cut off Winnie's head. Let's just say the resulting fit was something
    to behold, and I think Nick was scarred for life! He's a teenager and a
    strange boy now, but I'm sure this has nothing to do with the Winnie
    incident from so long ago...
4093.6ice cream places?REGENT::WOODWARDI'll put this moment...hereFri May 03 1996 09:5112
    Depending on where you are, you  can try Baskin Robbins stores.
    There's also Carvel Stores which will decorate the cake in any theme
    you want.  These stores both carry ice cream cakes. I know there's
    a carvel store in Leominster, on Route 13.
    
    Also in Leominster, there's a bakery called Dutch Kitchen that does a
    wonderful job decorating cakes. You could call them and ask if they
    could do a winnie the pooh cake.  345-1393.

4093.7TRY ROLLING PIN, LITTLETON, MASTOWOA::GROEZINGERFri May 03 1996 16:078
    The Rolling Pin in Littleton will probably help you.  I don't
    have their number, but I'm sure you can call directory assistance.
    
    They have wonderful pastries and cakes!
    
    Good luck,

    You could also check the wedding notesfile at BRAT::WEDDING.  There is
    at least one note with cake decorating/bakery recommendations.
    
    I know that Wilton makes a Pooh cake pan, you could probably get it at
    Paperama or Michael's crafts.

    If you haven't found a cake place yet call Creative cakes by 
    Debbie. Her cakes are out of this world.  She did a shower
    cake for my daughters bridal shower and we had her do the
    wedding cake..she does all shapes and sizes.
