Cake

Our Baker is a friend of Joey's family. Kelly left her job in Marketing 20 some years ago (I think) and started her own bakery, Wildflour, in Sierra Madre. The bakery serves lunch, pastries, bread, and makes cakes.

We arrived at the cake tasting after a weird map-quest version route from Burbank to Sierra Madre. It was actually quite scenic though.

Kelly made us 4 3 inch cakes with the various flavors we requested. They were fresh out of the oven when we got there and we perused some pictures of cakes they have made in the past while we waited.

Her buttercream is the kind that's light and fluffy with a subtle flavor. The ganache was rich and amazing. The mocha buttercream made my heart swell. And the cake....the cake was moist and melted in my mouth.

Joey had one or three bites of each cake and was decided. My mom had a couple bites of the cake and stopped as well. She saved a little for my dad, and then I proceeded to eat the remaining bits of the three cakes. Delicious! I bet you can't wait to try it either!

I could use one of those little cakes right now!

a.) I think Kelly's bakery has only been there for ten years or so.

b.) You don't say what kind of cake you decided upon!
