We Ate Our Way Through Chicago!

I whisked Alan away to Chicago for his birthday celebration. . .just a few days to get away from the hustle and bustle of Edibles Incredible Desserts. . .to play hard, eat well, and enjoy each other's company on this special occasion.

The weather was divine, the food was outrageously amazing (especially at Viand on Ontario Street, a few blocks from the Lake), the jet skiing fulfilled all of our desires to be on the water looking back at the gorgeous Chicago syline, and the Shoreline Architectural Boat Tour was even better than I remembered almost 12 years ago. We missed Oprah but perhaps next time!

Chicagoans are wonderfully warm and authentic people (at least all of those that we met minus a few cab drivers and one waiter at Gibson's who was very snooty). He tried to tell us in no uncertain terms that the Chef had no recommendations on how the beef (which they are famous for) would best be cooked and served. Horse crap! Every Chef I know has a recommendation. And, to make matters worse, we overheard the waiter serving the couple at the table adjacent to us give the Chef's recommendation on cooking the steaks. The food was alright but I prefer Ray's the Steaks in Arlington. If I'm going to eat beef, I want the best for the least amount of money. Ray's does it for me!

All in all, mission accomplished. . .a great short vacation which allowed us to play, rest and eat really really well - a good thing for two foodies!

I'll be back in a few days with some great cake pictures from the weekend!

Let us all eat cake!

Robyn

We always refer to Fridays at the Production Facility as "Hell Days" because the pressure is on to create and finish the most beautiful special order cakes, especially the wedding cakes for Saturday deliveries.

For those of us (self included) that work in the corporate office, we find it an absolute pleasure to see the creations.

My fave this week was a Hawaiian inspired cake. Check it out! Another fave. . .well, you'll see the pic.

Have a great weekend!
