Where do I buy a nice cake?

[buh_buh]

Its for a birthday, and its for saturday so it needs to be less than 48 hours notice. I don't want to buy some shitty safeway cake, so any suggestions?

Check out yamamoto I believe it's called. It's on center street and 13th ave pretty much across from suns. They have awesome cakes. My girlfriend loved her cake from there!

Lic's on Memorial has awesome ice cream cakes. Similar to Dairy Queen cakes but softer and better, IMO

i'm pretty sure those require pre-orders

sunterra market

i know of one downtown, one in signal hill and one on bow trail?
blueberry mousse ftw

pre-order is ok, as long as they can do it within 24 hours.
Archie where on Memorial is Lics?

As for yamato, I have on two occasions ordered 6-8 hours before the party and they were still able to get it done for me on time.

The rolo one is pretty good and last time I went they even had some pre-made that you can pick from and they will write the name right there. Don't quote me on that though. I think 24 hr is the most I've ever given them

Dude... Marbleslab.... they have some amazing cakes, much better then a DQ or safeway. I think they start at 22, up to 50?

they taste like they are 50 years old. Cake needed to be on the counter for waaaay longer than the package. We spent $35.00 and ended up tossing it. 6 of us thought it was gross. It was an ordered cake not one sitting in the freezer that you walk up and buy.

Costco has some good cakes. Don't know how "nice" they are compared to others though, but they taste good.

Call up the ace of cakes. He loves tight deadlines

Bliss & Co. Cupcakes (3rd Ave. SW, just off of Center St., downstairs) does cakes to order. Have been in when they've mentioned making them same day in some cases, but sure they prefer more notice. Have tried their regular chocolate cake and their flourless chocolate, both were great.

There is a menu posted on their Chowhound thread

Cake Works off 32nd...but the old CMS and Sugar Shack is a good one too.
