Birthday cake in/near western Queens

[spl8]

I'm looking for a place that makes yummy birthday cake for a kid's party somewhere in or near western Queens. Any suggestions?

yes, it might sound crazy, but costo's cakes are great---exactly what you are looking for. they taste like homemade dunkin hines sponge cake with the icing from the little can. so good!

I agree that a Costco cake is the way to go. I recently had trouble ordering a cake for a baby shower, and had to ultimately go with a Costco cake upon a recommendation. It was very affordable, I believe $14 for a square cake enough for over 20 people. No hassle ordering and best of all, the guests polished it off, and these were adults! This is the perfect cake of kids. Most mommies I know say that Costco is the way to go. No fuss, easy pickup and good cake.

Sage on Jackson Ave in LIC has REALLY good cupcakes. They cater and probably make cakes as well, but if this for kids you might want to check out their cupcakes...they also do a remake of snowballs...think pink marshmallow and coconut.

Maybe you should just go to Costco in LIC, they make cakes that are perfect for kid's birthdays if you need that sort of thing------personally, I love La Flor's (in woodside) chocolate mousse cake, and they would make you anything you want there with a day's notice---

Thanks for your replies.

Mrs. Maxwell's is probably a bit far for me, but I'll keep it in mind.

I love La Marjolaine for its croissants & breakfast pastries, but I'm not crazy about its cake - French-style spongecake just doesn't make good kid fare. I guess what I meant with the word "yummy" is tasty by kid standards, i.e. a decent American style yellow or chocolate cake with good, real buttercream frosting or chocolate glaze and cute decorations.

Has anyone ever ordered Fresh Direct birthday cake or cupcakes?
Any feedback?

Is western Queens near East NY or Brownsville? If so you might to check out Mrs. Maxwell's on Atlantic Ave by Vermont Ave (2700 Atl Ave to be exact). They are old time famous for childrens' birthday cakes.

La Marjolaine? 51st and Skillman.

As for yummy... I mean, isn't birthday cake all of similar yumminess? I don't expect too much from a birthday cake, but then I don't expect less than satisfactory. There's also Jay-Dee near Rego Park, which is quite good for this sort of thing.
