Wedding Cakes Decorated With Fabric? Real or Memorex?
I've never seen a wedding cake like this one featured on A Matter Of Taste. It is a sugar pasted two tier cake wrapped in sugar paste so it resembles fabric. It's decorated with roses that also look as though they are made of fabric that are made from modelling paste so they really do look like fabric roses. The bride had a gold color scheme but you could use roses in any color scheme. .

Booze Filled Stuffed Artisan Cannolis -- Why I Love NY!
Some like their drinks served on the rocks, others served neat, but I know that the very best cocktails are served in cannoli form! So head over the Stuffed Artisan Cannolis on the Lower East Side. If you aren't heading into the city and live in Long Island/NYC there are seven Whole Foods locations that sell Stuffed Artisan Cannolis. Only in NY! And I thought bagels and cheesecake were the best reason to love New York!
