And Then There Were Two...

Last Saturday Eric and I were scheduled to meet with the manager at the Grapevine Men's Warehouse, then meet with two different bakeries that came highly recommended by my mom's co-worker, Michelle, at The Piazza. Well, it turns out that Eric didn't feel well on Friday morning, and then felt even worse on Saturday. We ended up having to cancel our Engagement Pictures scheduled for Sunday! He couldn't stop coughing and had developed a full-blown cold. So, we cancelled the Saturday morning meeting with Men's Warehouse, but my mom went with me to the bakeries to taste test more cakes. We went to The Cakery in Southlake first and then to Sweet Expressions by Selina. We were very impressed with both bakeries and we will definitely be choosing one of the two. The Cakery gave us the best price quote, but Sweet Expressions is owned by a very talented European woman who only takes on ONE cake design per week. Therefore she has the time and ability to spend as much time as needed to make the cakes perfect. Also, she is extremely detail oriented and her own worst critic, so I think she would do an incredible job simply for her own satisfaction in addition to wanting to please Eric and I. Both bakeries are fabulous and I will be thrilled to work with either one... so I will keep you posted with the final decision!
