I saw maybe ten different styles at a Whole Foods last week. They’ve got couples dancing, some carrying each other, even ones on motorcycles... they were just in a display near the main entrance on the left. I think they cost about $33

Maybe they just went bad... she had them back in August last year, so I'm not sure when you actually tried them? I think I'll just get the cake and cookies from Emma in Small Town, USA. The cake isn't even more expensive than usual, and while the cookies are a bit pricey, they're actually unique—each one has its own flavor. Everyone who’s had them is usually impressed, and you can tell by the smell of the shop that they aren't cutting corners on ingredients.
My wedding is pretty small, so I won't need a massive amount. I guess 10 pounds might be overkill for 30 people. If there's anything left over, I'll just eat it the next day. 🙂

Is anyone here grabbing stuff from Abraham?
And do local bakeries ever offer any kind of discounts?

My sister got married last year and used them for her cake and pastries.
She got some treats for the guests and handed them out as people were leaving; everyone loved them and kept asking where she got them. I have a massive sweet tooth, and these were honestly great. The cake was good too, especially the "iced wind" flavor, though she wasn't thrilled with the look since it didn't quite match the design they discussed. If I remember right, you can pick up their pastries at Walmart, so maybe just grab some there and see. I heard they’ll be at the fair at Madison Square Garden soon, too.
