Dear Leslie:
I wanted to let you know that the wedding cake you prepared for the Taylor-Caballero wedding was absolutely perfect. Nearly everyone at the reception (50 or so) commented on what a delicious cake and great frosting! We saved the top Chocolate Mint layer until the 7th to celebrate the grooms birthday as that is his favorite flavor. There is one piece left in my refrigerator that I'm hiding from my husband. Otherwise, if he sees it, it will all disappear! We'll probably enjoy dividing it up for dessert this evening. It was beautiful to look at, a delight to cut into, and delicious to savor! Thanks so much. I'll be in touch with you for future baking needs. Sarah Taylor
Hi Leslie,
Just wanted to let you know how happy we were with the cake! It was outstanding! We really, really enjoyed it....I have eaten many a carrot cake in my lifetime, but yours definitely was my favorite! Loved the pear in it and the frosting was outstanding! We didn't finish the whole cake because we had to go home, but I scraped off all of the frosting and ate it! :)
Thanks again,
Wendy

Miss Leslie,
Thank you for such a wonderful job on the cake. It was beautiful and designed exactly the way we envisioned. Although we (unfortunately) only tasted the carrot pear, we heard from others that it all was delicious. We are looking forward to digging into that top layer on May 25, 2003! Thanks for everything!

Dear Leslie,
Many thanks again for all your work in making a beautiful cake for Shane's 1st birthday - it was enjoyed by all! I did receive a couple of calls later in the week asking for your name!
Hope business is going well - I hope to sample more of your work in the future. Take care and thanks again!
