Go back through the pages one by one and just comb through everything she’s posted until you find exactly what you're looking for😉

Hey everyone, I’ve decided to ditch the whole multi-tiered cake idea. Instead, we’re going with one massive rectangle—basically big enough to serve as a tabletop!😂 It’ll be white (no fancy frosting patterns or anything, just classic whipped cream) and decorated with chocolate vines draped all over it. Just wanted to share the plan with you guys 😉

yessss😍😍

I'm totally on board with the second option too. Honestly, if we keep the cake simple and skip all those fancy little rose decorations or whatever, I think it’ll actually look way more elegant and romantic. 👍

I was honestly just scrolling through to see which one I should delete first...😁
Thanks! Now I finally have the number.😉

Dammit, I don't have the number on me... maybe it's listed in the contact info somewhere...

How many poundsdddd😲😲😲
🤷Man, that is just... wow, that is a massive amount..
I usually aim for about 45 pounds for every 100 people, though everyone tells me 33 would be plenty, but I honestly don't trust them...
And that's just for a catered event, obviously.
If I'm doing the math here, you probably need about 55 pounds for a big party, maybe just 4 pounds if you're serving at home, or 4 pounds if you're at his place (since people tend to snack on saltier stuff at home). If you actually have 60 people over at your house, grab about 9 pounds per person for a home setup. To play it safe for sharing, if I've got this right, you'd need about 1.5 pounds per head, which hits 18 kg—wait, let's stick to pounds—which is roughly 35 lbs. But if you really want to go big with 2 pounds per person, you're looking at 55 lbs. Totaling it all up, we're talking 51 to 58 pounds of dessert... and even that feels like a literal ton...🤷

Actually, now that I think about it, that's not even much less than 65... 🙂

I’m really pulling for you guys to be awesome👍

a few cookies (finally sitting down to write this now) I tried about ten different kinds—I didn't have enough time to wait for them to slice up the other varieties—but honestly, every single one was incredible. The absolute standouts, though? Those three-chocolate sticks with red pepper and that cheese pie... oh my god, that cheese pie is exactly like how my mom makes it. I’ve seriously never had anything like it anywhere else 😍
I'm heading back there this coming Monday to grab some more fresh stuff and treat myself 😍

The info on the cake is on the previous page, I moved it 🙂

The cake and everything else are coming from Piece—the cake is (I think it’s called cappuccino?) with a dark biscuit base, then white parfait, then chocolate, but we're just going to go with the chocolate one. Both my husband and I tried their parfait and it is seriously delicious; it feels so much more chocolatey and rich than the stuff you get elsewhere...

It finally worked! Yessssss!😁😁😁

aha😲😲😁 oops, my bad...

I'll give you a super detailed breakdown once the server finally decides to let me post more than just a few words at a time!

To keep it short: I’m putting down a deposit on a Piece of cake in a few weeks—it's going to be delicious.
Man.

I’ve seriously tried to hit 'post' on this exact same text five different times now, and for some reason, it just won't go through.

Are you kidding me? I can't even get more than two sentences out on this thread before it cuts me off. What a joke!

test😠

Why don't you head over to Brooklyn? It’s right near me, so maybe you can get a real feel for the vibe and see if they're actually decent or just total flops...

Ugh, I’m telling you, I checked all three versions of my cookie order and there is absolutely nothing there... and I distinctly remember when I noticed they only had cake on the menu, I actually asked, "Wait, is cake really the only sweet option you have?" The lady behind the counter told me that...
Maybe she just assumed I don't have a sweet tooth or something.😂😂😂

Honestly, let me tell you, they didn't even list any pastries on the menu! I actually had no clue they even made them until you started raving about their desserts... ugh. I think I'm going to try these first, and then I’ll definitely give Spoon a call to ask why they didn't even bother mentioning them in the first place...
I mean, look, I know I want one specific cake from Pice, but my sister was actually planning on getting me some pastries from Melia's (back when we thought those were the best thing ever). But now? My first logical move is just to go with Pice for everything—cake and pastries included—so I can get it all from one spot... 🙂

I guess I’ll just have to lean on Emma and Curkeraj if none of my own ideas actually take off...

I’m telling you, I can’t stand any of them... honestly. Even that one lady who used to be absolutely amazing? She served this pale, beige cream instead of the rich brown stuff, and the pastry layers were totally soggy because of that sad excuse for a filling. It felt like the whole thing was underbaked. Plus, instead of that perfect, light, flaky crunch you expect from homemade treats, the crust had this weird, rubbery texture—kind of like those cheap, store-bought ones you find at a gas station rather than actual artisan pastry.
Anyway, I’m heading over to Piece tomorrow to pick some up and see if they’ve actually improved, but if they miss the mark too, I’m just going straight to East... Actually, I think I'll grab boxes from both tomorrow so I can compare them side-by-side. I really don't have the mental energy to obsess over every little detail anymore...
