[coolgirl78]

my sister and i are surprising my father for his 60Th birthday in march (we're flying from san diego). where's the best place to order a birthday cake? Also I'll be catching up with some high school friends, where's the best place on a saturday afternoon to get a great cocktail or glass of wine?

I'll throw one more recommendation out there - Scratch Bakery in South Portland. Just wonderful!

European Bakery on Rt. 1 in Falmouth has great cakes with good selection.

The triple layer chocolate cake at Silly's is old school chocolate cake goodness although I recall a pumpkin spice cream cheese one that was delicious too.

I had one of the best cakes I ever had from Two Fat Cats Bakery. We ordered a red velvet cake for my birthday. A bit pricey, but excellent. I think it's owned by the same folks that own the Standard Bakery, also in Portland, of which I've heard good things as well.

I have never had a cake as good as the one I recently had that was made at Dollaro's. Seriously.
