Masterpiece Gone
“The groom was a pastry chef by trade. As you can imagine, he went full-bore on his own wedding cake. This thing was a masterpiece. The couple’s friends are also about 50% pastry chefs. Lots of professional bakers in the place, all of whom were itching to see this piece of culinary art. The caterer’s assistant dropped the cake in the kitchen before it ever saw the light of day. The only people who saw the cake in its full glory were me, the groom, the best man, the caterer, and the groom’s baking staff. I was watching when it was dropped, and the person who dropped it said, ‘Well, we’ll just serve the sheet cake.’ There was no sheet cake. They scooped up most of it, and served it with a giant spoon.”
