Mary Alice: We've had clients that have gotten wedding cakes from us, and then called a year later, and I'm thinking that they're calling for their anniversary topper, and they're really calling for a baby shower cake. It's just you get the highlights of these people's lives, and their families, and it warms your heart.
Mary Alice: Can I just say there's an email in my in-box from somebody whose email address is "Pirate Hooker"? Lives in Los Angeles, and wants to know if we ship our cakes. Thanks, Pirate Hooker, no we don't. But we will send you a loud, gregarious, hairy Jewish baker who will bring you your cake himself, if you want.
Mary Alice: (of the Art Deco Cake) Geof's gonna have to figure out extra super steel beam support to go in that cake, 'cause otherwise this is gonna this one's gonna totally squarsh it's a technical term.
Geof: I wouldn't mind living inside of here. (points at cake) It's got your food groups; it's got the pumpkin group, and the butter group, and the chocolate group.
