I'm Just a Broadway Baby...

Hi all! So I think I made my favorite cake so far. It was a cake for PJ for his BBQ. Oh what a fun night!! It was a tribute to every Broadway musical that won "Best Musical." It started with the first Tony for "Kiss Me, Kate" to this year's "In The Heights." It took almost 3 weeks to make all the individual show plaques, but it was so worth all the work.

Summer in the City

Hey all! Sorry, its been a long time...been on a little hiatus due to the hot weather...no baking when the temperature outside is just as hot as the inside of the oven...anyway it was a busy weekend. Caught a matinee of "Mamma Mia!"with mom and Jeanette. Carolee Carmello was amazing as Donna, the mother. Her rendition of "The Winner Takes it All" stopped the show. The best I ever heard the song. I really enjoyed this performance than the first time I saw the show 7 years ago. Then off to dinner at Pomodoro. Always a great choice, thanks Marguerite! Then we downed a cupcake at the new Magnolia Bakery on Columbus Ave. Then PJ and I went to see Liz Callaway at Feinstein's at the Regency Hotel. God, I love that place! She was incredible. What an amazing an effortless voice! Sunday, we spent in Brooklyn. PJ, Bobby, and I went to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and Coney Island. The gardens were beautiful, and the company was perfection. Coney Island was fun. The people were very interesting. We went on the Wonder Wheel. What laughs! Then we rode this "haunted" ride that was not scary at all. It was a fantastic weekend, but then again, any weekend with PJ is fantastic. Just being in his presence makes me so very happy. Ok..now on with the cakes...this is gonna be a very busy week or two. I have 4 cakes to make...3 birthday cakes and one graduation cake...look out for them...
