Milestone Birthday Cake -60 wonderful years

[pollochick]

Hi,
I am tasked with finding the best bakery in Portland to produce a cake for a dear friend's milestone celebration . As I am not local and will be flying in the day before for the festivities I need the assistance of fellow hounds to help me with my decision. Thanks for all your help!

Papa Hayden makes the fanciest cakes, delicious, too.

Aside from the fancy wedding cakes you see on the site, she makes b-day and anniversary, etc. cakes as well. Just fabulous stuff.

A couple months ago I got a small cake for a 40th birthday from Bakery Bar (http://www.bakerybar.com/cakes.shtml). Chocolate with chocolate mousse filling and vanilla buttercream. Moist cake with excellent flavor, beautiful fondant decorations that are impressive even on a small cake, and professional service. That's my go-to shop for celebration cakes now.

I don't think I've ever had a better cake than the one I had a few years ago from St. Cupcake. I'm sure it was expensive, probably very expensive, but if price is no object, you won't be disappointed.

I was in DiPrima Dolci last week, and their menu of cakes looked fabulous. If you're in the market for a traditional Italian dessert, that would be where I'd go.
