Just a Taste

After work today I met up with Matt and Emily (the betrothed) and Viki, Emily's mother. We had a 1 o'clock appointment at Servatii's Pastry and Deli Shop, to taste wedding cake and look at their designs. And do they ever have choices! Evidently their pastry chef is a Master Pastry something-or-another, having won numerous awards for his cake creations. The manager brought out samples of 4 cakes: chocolate with raspberry filling, spice with cream cheese filling, white cake with strawberry filling, and a yellow lemon cake (my personal favorite). We sampled while flipping through the photo album of cakes ... dozens and dozens of gorgeous cakes, some simple, some elegant, some with fountains and on and on. Matt and Em will be having a smallish wedding with about 100 guests, so the cake pictured above is far too big for what they need, but it is one of the 3 styles that Emily narrowed it down to. The colors would probably be light pink and sage green to match the colors in the flowers and dresses. We were encouraged to make a final decision within the next 2 - 3 weeks as June is a popular month for weddings. This whole wedding thing still hardly seems real....
