This is my first post on Will & Becky. Last weekend the two of us went to St Louis, in part to look at wedding cakes. The lady, Helen, seemed very accommodating, not that our ideas for the cake are so terribly particular or anything. Her portfolio had some very baroque examples that were rather impressive, although I couldn't imagine having anything like that for one's wedding. They were so theatrical. And yet, it was comforting somehow to imagine that even if we were to be unreasonable and demand the moon, she would know exactly what we needed and graciously bake it for us. Also, we brought home two samplings of assorted cake/filling combinations, with liqueurs, raspberry, buttercream, marzipan, etc. which were so good. We've narrowed the selection down to three favorites, one of which is a lemon-poppy-seed confection that is very good, very lemony. We also went to a ball-game and heard Beethoven's Fidelio that evening. A very fruitful expedition. Many things learned, many things learned indeed.
