Ten years ago, Patty made the most beautiful wedding cake for our wedding day. I remember the cake like our wedding day was just a few days ago. Maybe that’s because it kind of like it was just a few days ago. I had never met Patty in person when she made the cake for our wedding and I did not know if she was still baking all these years later. So, when I found online that she had opened a bakery, I could barely contain my excitement because it was the first time I thought that the surprise I had dreamed of giving my husband for our 10-year anniversary could actually be feasible. A few weeks ago, I contacted Patty to ask for her help. My request was for her to recreate the top layer of our wedding cake. I explained to Patty how we were not able to enjoy the top layer of our cake on our 1-year anniversary because my brother-in-law had eaten it while we were on our honeymoon and she graciously agreed to help me. Her enthusiasm for the task made the experience even that much more exciting, worthwhile, and fulfilling for me. We talked by phone and communicated via email and each time I spoke with Patty I could feel her warm smile. When I picked up the cake this past weekend, Patty greeted me with a warm hug and she exuded a genuine joy and excitement for what she had helped me to accomplish as a surprise for my husband. Our “lost” top layer was beautiful and OMG! was it ever delicious!!! It was lemon cake with a tangy lemon filling and Patty had recreated the design/decoration from some photos of our original cake that I had emailed to her. It’s been a few days now and my husband still cannot get over what Patty and I accomplished together. It was the best surprise that I could have given him for our special day. I never got over the loss of the top layer to our cake until this past weekend. With Patty’s help, celebrating our first ten years together as husband and wife felt just as special as the first day we said “I do” all those years ago. Thank you Patty and thank you for baking the most yummy of cakes. I will never forget this experience or you. Patty is hands down the best baker ever!!!
