Let them eat cake!

Marie Antoinette had a point.
Cake.is.good.

Our week-long southern california relocation was a success. We got in some quality family time with visits to a couple sets of parents, one sibling, 3 golf games, Sarah time, and a spa-night for ME + some work friends. I didn't take a single picture at the spa, which does not indicate a bad time had. In fact, I was so relaxation-station that I couldn't be bothered to lift my camera to eye level to snap a few shots.

We were more than happy to return to our regularly scheduled photo-taking ways once back together though! Por ejemplo:

1st cake tasting!
Viktor Benes in Gelson's.
These crazies jumped at the chance to "help" us taste.
(Jamie's dad + stepmom)
Viktor Benes
+Parisian Cream = YUM.
- froo-froo cake design.
- it's in a grocery store.
I love having control of this blog...bwahahaha.
Jamie's face is TOO MUCH.

2nd Cake Tasting!
WHAT IS THIS PHOTO??
who poses behind their cake in their undies??
Bread Basket
+Prettier cakes.
+Good delivery rates.
+Lots of fresh fruit.
+Jamie liked the chocolate mousse cake.
-I liked the white cake with raspberry puree (weird, it's like my least fave berry).

SO many more bakeries to go to. Our list is long; the schedule, intense. If located in California, please submit desired dates to attend tastings with me. I'm going border-to-border with this thing and am willing to take ya'll every step of the way.

maybe she was in her undies b/c she didn't want her outfit to get dirty while baking the cake? ha ha.

if you want to fly out to NYC to do some cake tastings, just let me know!

wish i could come with you! But alas, I am also much too far.

btw, baking + undies is a good combo. Very little to need to launder after. Plus, it's just a nice change from the head to toe black chef gear I wear for the majority of my waking hours.
