We are very excited and honored to be attending the nuptials of Brendan and Julie, aka Transformer BBQ, tonight. For most people weddings are all about the dress, the flowers, the invites, etc. For me it was simply about the food and the cake. Especially the cake! Cake is the cornerstone of virtually every celebration. It is worthy of candles and inspires entire crowds to burst into song. Most brides cry during their vows. I got teary when I saw the cake. It was not only beautiful but delicious. Made by a local trattoria, the cake was vanilla with a chocolate mousse filling and old fashioned vanilla frosting, the kind that makes your teeth hurt. It brought me back to my childhood when my parents would attend a wedding and bring home that wonderful confection wrapped in a napkin. Oh what a delightful breakfast. In accordance with tradition, I carefully wrapped and froze our cake top despite objections from my new husband. He was under the impression that we can’t afford the freezer space. My reply to him was if we can fit two briskets, three racks of ribs, and countless chicken thighs-then the cake stays!! Only ten months until we can enjoy.
