You’ll figure it out for sure 👍.

Decided to tackle the cake and cookies today... we'll see how it goes...

Heading over to M&M's today.

So, cupcakes are out. I'm gonna talk to them about whipping up something using fructose instead—need that for a specific group of guests.

Flavor-wise though, should we go with mousse or parfait? 🤷

I found myself quite taken with it—mostly because it’s just so wonderfully out of the ordinary.

Still stuck on one thing though: how do you even slice this thing? 😂
Either way, I love it.

Side note—showed up late to the bakery today even though they stay open until 9 PM! What a joke.

Honestly, you can't really go wrong with either choice. You'll be fine regardless of which one you pick.

Is M&M's making cookies for Lido?

Man, that is awesome news. I was seriously torn between choosing M&M's or Lido 😍

What kind of cake is even $17 a piece??

I think I'm just gonna hit up M&M's for some cake and sweets.
I'm at the stage where I'm keeping things simple... I don't have the energy to wander around anymore. I just grab everything from the local shop down the street. 😂

Look... Tom & Ann aren't even that pricey... I think I'll give them a shot next week too.

So, I went to the Millennium on Thursday to "sample" some things with my coworkers... and no, there were zero ulterior motives (okay, maybe I was hunting for wedding cake 😂).

Honestly, I could seriously go insane just tasting their triple chocolate cake all day long 🤣.

See? They’re totally my favorites 👍

Where’s all the candy at?

Tom and Anna are gonna give it a shot too, might as well grab some while I'm out 😂

EDIT: Just realized—it's Sunday. I'm usually a huge fan of M&M's, but they have $40 tons over there. I was just checking to see if it was cheaper, since I'm always hitting up Target anyway.

Just those two—Absum (snagged them at Kroger during the Easter sales). And Cashner (grabbed some on my way to work for a party)

EDITT: Just cookies. What I actually need is a cake combo: "regular" and fructose-free.
I was thinking about asking M&M's to do fructose-free slices and regular cupcakes.
Or vice versa.

Not really.

They're definitely on my bucket list. I started out with the budget brands, but honestly, they just don't cut it for me 🤷. Maybe I'm being extra, though.

I tried Absum and Cashner—honestly, it’s just not my thing. Every single cookie tastes exactly the same. You could close your eyes and have no clue which one you're eating 👎.

I know I'll probably end up working at M&M's or Lido if they'll have me, but whatever... I'm out here sampling cookies from house to house 😂

I’m honestly struggling with these portion guidelines too... I’m just hosting a small wedding for about 25 people, so if I grab 25 ounces per person, there’s no way that much food is going to sit around without going bad. Besides, my crowd is the type where I’m better off making the desserts thicker and cutting back on the meat. Let’s be real: when there's a massive spread of sweets sitting right there, who’s actually going to want to eat steak? 😂

🙂🙂

What’s the damage on price?

Honestly, their pastries are killer and they look amazing.

🤔

hmm... can I just order desserts from Lida for a wedding dinner at a restaurant?
What do you guys think?

Donna Chase12, did you grab those cookies from Monica's place too?
Were they actually good?😁

I'm also curious about the pricing if you don't mind sharing.
thanks

So what happens next? 😕

Does one guest get a slice from all three tiers? Or what? 😕

thanks for the heads up

And I love the cake—it looks super classy! 👍 Price seems fair, too.

OT: I’ve always wondered how they actually slice those multi-tiered cakes... like, you start at the top and cut out the first layer—doesn't the next one look weird without its top? Like, where does the top layer go? 🤷
Does anyone get what I mean? 😂

The local bakery treats from that small town in the US.
20 kg of cookies plus a massive cake for 120 guests $100

Still $22 kg of cookies?
Did you guys get free samples?
How do they charge for cakes?

I gotta admit, their prices look amazing, but I've never actually tried them so I have no clue if they're any good.
Does anyone know if they have a shop in NYC I can hit up?
I know Aspen isn't exactly around the corner, but I don't drive and I'm working like crazy 100 hours a week (gotta pay for this wedding 😂), so it's kind of a hassle.
