Nanina's In The Park On TV

If you missed it, a recent epsiode of Channel TLC’s “Four Weddings” was aired over the past weekend. As you may know, the show is a contest wherein four brides rate each other’s wedding. They rate things like venue (of the marriage), food, etc. The winning bride (or couple) of this epsiode is given a free honeymoon in Mexico. We are very happy that Ed and his new bride, Lakeisha, won the trip. They got the highest score and the best part of it is that they were put over the top by having the highest rated food number of all four weddings. Where did they have their reception? At Nanina’s In The Park. Of course.

The Importance of A Wedding Cake

In a recent conversation with Leo Sciancalapore, one of the founders of A Little Cake (Le Petit Gateau) in Park Ridge, NJ, the topic of what people want most today in wedding cakes was discussed. Leo said “The trend is Bling! Bling!! Bling!!!!” Shiny stones and glitz are really big right now. He added: “And, we can’t forget it has to taste good---that's a must!” The biggest challenge comes from special cakes. They have to look as realistic as possible. They have to be made to scale, taking into consideration the overall structure of the cake.

Groom’s cakes are becoming more and more popular. They are usually purchased by the bride. Who knows better about what the groom is really into and what the theme of the cake should be?

When shopping for a wedding cake (or any special cake for that matter), look for the things A Little Cake considers most important: personal service, quality of ingredients, talent of the artist, etc. What sets them apart according to Leo is “being able to make anything!!!
