I must begin by thanking Kayla for introducing me to what can only be described as heaven in my mouth. We met with Jeff Perila (sweettreatsbyjeff.com) today and I feel like my eyes have been opened to this whole amazing world of cake that I never knew existed. (Yes, I am in an overly dramatic state right now, induced by the cake.)
We sampled the French vanilla with white chocolate mousse (omg the mousse....) and the chocolate dipped strawberry cake (pure, unbridled bliss). They were both phenomenal!! If you don't have a cake person yet, you must make an appointment with him immediately
Side note, we sampled Buttercream last week, and not only was I not impressed with the cake, I actually disliked it. The frosting actually TASTES like BUTTER!! Seriously, a stick of butter. G-ross. Plus, the price he quoted us for the bare minimum decoration, etc. was almost $700 for 180 people. (Jeff quoted us a third of that price, for filled amazing cake.) And don't even get me started on the guy who was "selling" us the cake. He constantly used the word "upcharge" as in, "Oh, you want more than one color on your cake? That's an upcharge. Oh, you want to use our pedestals? That's an upcharge." I asked him to point out cakes that didn't have an upcharge, and out of about 40 cakes in the store, he pointed out maybe 5. And they were really, really plain.
Okay, enough about how much Buttercream kinda sucked. Call Jeff. Try his cake. Experience what FI called "a serious aphrodisiac." Haha TMI, maybe.... but seriously.
