So, my sister and I were in one of my favorite goodie places today, this fantastic bakery/cafe/restaurant, having coffee and one of their excellent raspberry-filled cookies, when in marches a bride and her new mother-in-law to speak with the owner about a wedding cake that apparently had disappointed them (back in SEPTEMBER).
Seems part of the cake had fallen. We couldn't help overhearing this mom-zilla haranguing the shop owner/baker. This woman had one of those voices that could project across a 50,000 seat stadium without a PA system. From what was said, it seems part of the cake slipped and fell, while the rest of it was okay ("It was SMASHED!!!") The owner had already agreed by phone to refund at least part of the cost. Guess that wasn't good enough for momma (bride never said a word). I could hear the owner saying, "I get it" and momma booming, "NO YOU DON'T!!"
Seems these people had decided their wedding cake had to have a ROLLER COASTER on it. I don't know if it was made of marzipan or something, or was some kind of plastic or metal thing, but apparently it turned out to be a little too heavy and one of the tiers fell. I just felt really bad for the owner. She's the nicest person, and her food is always incredibly delicious, and she just couldn't seem to make this woman happy.
Talk about first-world problems. OK, if I was the bride I'd be a little disappointed, but come on...it's a PASTRY. Get over it.
