Sat Jan 05 10:58:31 -0800 2008 12252 Aimee 1 3264229 The Little Pie Company on 43rd between 9th and 10th.

Amy's does have a variety of layer cakes. Acc. to their website, where you can see the list, they prefer that orders for whole cakes be placed in advance though they do take same day orders. They will also inscribe them. It's getting kind of late in the day, so I suggest you call asap. http://www.amysbread.com/hellsp.htm Edited to add: Another option is to get a cheesecake from Junior's, on 45th St., b/t B;way & 8th. Certainly would gild the cholesterol lily after a pig roast at Daisy May's! lol Sat Jan 05 12:35:36 -0800 2008 3264122 13867 RGR 2 3264407 While they may not be "traditional" in the sense that RGR suggests, the cakes at Little Pie Company are fantastic. The most traditional of the lot include a traditional yellow cake with chocolate icing and a old fashion chocolate cake (belgian chocolate and cocoa). Calling ahead is always recommended. Good luck!!! Sat Jan 05 12:43:47 -0800 2008 3264386 50706 kiworan79 3 3264901 Little Pie Company's yellow cake with chocolate icing is my favorite cake in the city. It will be the perfect ending to dinner at Daisy May's. It's also conveniently nearby. http://www.littlepiecompany.com/public5/retailmenu.cfm Sat Jan 05 15:38:02 -0800 2008 3264407 41563 SunnysideUp 2 3266043 Amy's. Every time. For me, layer cakes are traditional birthday cakes though.

While I'm not sure if you have to call ahead for cakes, they do have wonderfully decorated cupcakes. It's between 39th and 40th. http://www.cupcakecafe.com/ Sat Jan 05 15:21:50 -0800 2008 3264122 80151 emily_r 2 3265735 While the cupcakes are very pretty at Cupcake Cafe, I'm not a fan. The cake is pretty dry and they use buttercream that is too buttery....if that makes sense! Sat Jan 05 21:19:36 -0800 2008 3264857 109681 LolaNYC
