257396 Sun Mar 24 13:51:56 -0800 2002 11 21 The Best 0 1362323 I need suggestions for where to find a delicious, attractive, artful wedding cake. Something a bit unusual, not the straight, classic, tiered white cake. And not the Cupcake Cafe--their cakes are pretty, but my fiance and I don't like the way they taste. Sun Mar 24 13:51:56 -0800 2002 0 Polly Purebread 1 1362324 Blackhound on second av around tenth street I think. They are interesting and quite good. I agree with you about cupcake cafe - pretty, just not very tasty. Mon Mar 25 15:32:55 -0800 2002 1362323 0 djk 2 1362325 Black Hound was the first place I thought of, but they don't make wedding cakes per se. I suppose I could stack several of their nonwedding cakes. I'd rather find someone who'll do the whole thing, though. Mon Mar 25 15:58:16 -0800 2002 1362324 0 Polly Purebread 3 1362326 They used to and they were really unusual. Maybe they would honor a specific request? I'll get back to you on an alternate idea.... Mon Mar 25 16:02:53 -0800 2002 1362325 0 djk 4 1362339 I stopped by Blackhound and they said that while they won't do layers, they make most of their cakes as big as 18" round and say it feeds 95-105 people. That's the biggest one available, I know city bakery doesn't do cakes of any kind but I'm still trying to get the name of this guy who works for himself and does these really beautiful custom cakes. I will let you know when I do. Don't know if the Blackhound info fits the bill at all..... Wed Mar 27 15:34:27 -0800 2002 1362326 0 djk 5 1362340 Although I don't want the standard white job with flowers, I do want the thing to bear some family resemblance to a wedding cake, so a flat, round cake won't quite do it. I know there's got to be a cake out there that's delicious, like Black Hound's, but also gorgeous and hilarious, with layers and artistry in the icing. Thanks for your help! Wed Mar 27 23:43:12 -0800 2002 1362339 0 Polly Purebread 6 1362360 I had my cake done at Chelsea Baking Co. Inc. 259 W. 19th, NYC, (212)-242-7692 They do anything you want from the tackiest stuff to the most conservative. I didn't have much confidence after meeting them but they did a stellar job and the cake was affordable and as delicious as it was beautiful. Enjoy.

It was amazingly beautiful and absolutely delicious. He is the nicest guy ever and he is really creative and will work with you to make the exact type of cake you want. The only negative is that he is pretty expensive. I know he has a website with all of his info, so if you go to Yahoo and do a search on him you will fin it. Good luck.

Still, they don't keep well for that first anniversary, and even at its best, the flavor has a homespun element (appreciated primarily by the 'superior palate' and five-year olds...) ;) Fri Apr 19 10:00:41 -0700 2002 1362323 0 lorelei 1 1362486 go to Wendy Kromer, she is amazing amazing.
