The Pastry Studio

We only met with Sherry once, and that was to go over what we wanted for our cake. She is horrible in communication, and I wasn't able to finally hear from her until like 2 days before the wedding (I freaked out big time!) Her cakes are very pricey, but they are good!

Caveat: my husband would review this higher than I have.
We spent a great deal of time and effort meeting with the owner regarding the specifics of our cake. We wanted an art cake, not an easy task, and that's why we sought out a professional instead of a run-of-the-mill bakery. We had a concept of three Grecian-style columns (not so thin that it would have been an engineering nightmare for the cake designer, but columns nonetheless) of slightly different heights that showed some crumbling and wear of time - vines had somewhat taken over, water gently trickling down them as if nature had taken over and developed a natural fountain from these man-made structures. We were thinking the columns would be cake of course, the damage and crumbling seemed to be fairly simple and straightforward, some vines intertwined between them, and then the water could be done in sugar. We met, sketched, described, showed pictures, and received assurances that she understood and it would be done. We'd have loved anything close to our concept.

What we got? Three big, thick slabs of cake with cream-colored frosting, some poorly done and uneven (not the on-purpose sort of uneven) detail in gray, and some artificial vines. At least three of our guests thought the cake was a nuclear power plant.

The saving grace and most important thing, however, is that it tasted great. The rest just makes it a good albeit VERY expensive story. Someday we'll appeal to Duff or Mike or one of the cake geniuses on Food Network to bring our vision to life...

Sherri is a pleasure to work with. She is one of those people that just "get it" and can whip up the perfect design, made especially for you, after just minutes of talking with you. I'd trust her to amke a cake masterpiece based on any design theme you give her to work with.
