I really love cake – but I really cannot stand a beautiful cake that tastes terrible!  Unfortunately that is the norm.  I have a few bakers that I love that do great work, beautiful art with fantastic flavors.

My favorite is Cakes by Design.  Debbie has become such a great friend and part of our family.  She makes my son’s birthday cake every year!  Then, when Miguel and I were married last June she made our wedding cake.  Here it is – for those that are interested (yes it is weird and zig-zaggy – just like life!):

Debbie will be having an open house cake tasting this weekend at her cute space in Occoquan.  Email Debbie directly at cakesbydesign@yahoo.com!  I have a few clients going this weekend, so I plan on going myself!  Hope to see you there! – Katie Martin
