You can try giving Judy a call...

Though not as refined looking as some cakes, I do have to say they are pretty darn tasty (and I don't normally care for cake and frosting very much... hers I eat the whole thing).

An affordable, quick to deliver option is Baskin Robbins. They do custom ice cream cakes and are on the westside also.

Try Carvel on Santa Monica and Sepulveda, they make Ice cream cakes and may make custom cakes. Otherwise, Cake and Art on Santa Monica (expensive) or another great cake bakery is The Cake Place on Barry Ave near Barrington and Olympic

If all you need is a standard round cake with orange-colored frosting and appropriate basketball lines, I imagine almost any bakery should be able to do that for you upon request. It strikes me as far simpler than the many elaborate, relatively inexpensive Disney designs they all seem to offer in their cake order books.

If you must have a full-on round globe of a cake, though ... well, good luck trying to find that at a low price point.

its not westside..but Portos has all kinds of speciality cakes at decent prices..

You could try Viktor Benes. Their website's custom cake photos show a groom's basketball cake < http://www.viktorbenes.com/custom_cak... >.

I just called VB"s...that cake is $8/slice

Did you try Angel Maid yet? They do custom cakes as well, but I don't know the prices.

Does the cake have to be basketball shaped? Perhaps, a regular sheet cake with a basketball theme decoration? I do know that SusieCakes has some very talented cake decorators. Now, that the Celics and Lakers are in the Finals, I suspect that a basketball-themed cake would be a lot of fun.

Wow. I didn't expect it to be so high. Their regular cakes tend to be more reasonably priced than a lot of other bakeries. I doubt any of the other bakeries I can think of -- Hansen's, SusieCakes, Sweet Lady Jane, etc. -- are going to be much cheaper. Custom cakes are very expensive.

Have you considered an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins? They have a soccer cake (it's not ball-shaped, but a regular cake, with the top designed like a soccer ball), so I suspect they could do a basketball-themed cake for less than many of the bakeries.

A google search turned up this woman who does custom cakes -- http://janasfuncakes.blogspot.com/200... . I cannot speak to the price or quality.

and won't cost me an arm and a leg...

for 25 kids and 10 adults

I love Rose Bud's cakes, but don't want to spend that kind of cash.

Call Susiecakes. I am sure they can do a basketball cake.
