A few months ago, my friend Rena asked if I knew anyone who could bake a cake to go along with a shopping theme for her daughter Sari's bridal shower. Our choice would have looked like a signature robin's egg blue Tiffany box, and all I could think of was the "Ace of Cakes" show on Food Network.
So I emailed my nephew Dustin, who was producing the show at the time and asked for help. Unfortunately, the show shoots a season ahead and that didn't work -- so much for it's all in who you know. For the life of me, I could not think of a baker who could pull it off, so Rena wound up decorating the restaurant -- tables and all -- with designer shopping bags. It was imaginative, great fun and everyone loved it. But a cake is the centerpiece of an event and she was right -- it would've been perfect.
