Birthday cakes serve as a centerpiece for any celebration, so finding, or making, the perfect one is always a project for me. The biggest issue with creating a custom cake each year is that by the next year, my lil ones want something completely different and I need to buy a new cake pan (or find another bakery).
The Alphabet/Number Cake Pan ($40) allows you to move two-inch cubes to create any letter or number with one pan.

Every parent will tell you that finding or making the perfect cake for your child's birthday fete can be stressful, which is why most of us turn to the local bakery or family baker for support and inspiration. These artisan-created made-to-order and ship cakes from a shop in California's Napa Valley are designed to prevent you from pre-party stress. You have to order four days in advance, but the cakes, which range in price from $92 to $98, are shipped overnight and arrive frozen.
