The birthday party scene in New Moon is a pivotal one, with elaborate embellishments provided by none other than pixie vamp Alice. The pinnacle of the birthday party, aside from the paper cut Bella receives and subsequent attack by Jasper, is the beautiful birthday cake that Alice has so graciously provided for the party despite the fact that Bella is the only one who would partake.

In an exclusive interview, Lisa Haas, wife of the movie cake's creator, Thomas, explains how the iconic cake was born.

Unaware of the Twilight Saga frenzy, Haas was approached to concoct the confection after the set designer's creation, utilizing a mild green color scheme as opposed to the book's pink design, didn't turn out as expected. Haas replicated the design perfectly in one day.

The cake used in the movie is a show cake, meaning the inside is not an edible substance, but the outside is comprised of the sugared fondant. Haas says that, were it an actual cake, it would feed 50 to 55 people, as Bella suggests in the New Moon trailer.

New Moon is not the first production to request the professional touch of Thomas Haas. He's also made confections for the movie License to Wed with Robin Williams and television show The L Word with Jennifer Beals. "We've also done chocolate showpieces and cakes for Stargate's 100th episode and Stargate Atlantis," says Haas.

Thomas Haas Chocolates boasts a plethora of accolades. In fact, Thomas Haas was named one of the top ten pastry chefs in the country by his peers. But the award that they deem most important is the service excellence award provided by their local chamber of commerce. Lisa says, "We really care about good service being provided to our customers by our staff and this award helps us know we are on the right path."
