I want a really pretty shade and not anything that would clash with the red.
That feeling of throwing up& it was back. No, we don t want anything to clash. I have
a variety of cake flavors, do you have a preference?
Chocolate. That s what you made for Angie s wedding and it was to die for.
Great. Chocolate. Buttercream frosting? Did they see the tightness around her mouth
at all or was it just something Bailey was feeling as she looked at them?
Is that what was on Angie s cake? I want it to taste just like hers. Can you do that?
Make it taste exactly like hers?
The plea was so earnest that Bailey fought not to laugh. I m pretty sure it was
buttercream I used on hers and yes, I can make it taste just like that.
Oh, good. And I want roses all over it in pink and red.
All right. Let me get one of my pattern books and you can see if there s something
that fits the vision you have in your head. I ll just be a second.
Bailey stood, walked behind the counter and knelt down, trying to compose herself,
trying to get back the professionalism she was quickly losing. She didn t know why she
was losing it, except for the fact that images of Aidn kept drifting in and out of her mind.
It wasn t marriage she was seeing though, it was a collaring, which was dumb as she d
only been with him once and he d walked away. It was just a feeling, a gut feeling, that
he was the one. It was a feeling that pissed her off.
A few deep breaths later, she stood and pasted another smile on her face. She grabbed
some wedding cake books and a couple of magazines and set them on the table for Barbie
and Ken to begin going through. I have some cake samples if you d like to try them.
No, that s fine. I know what the chocolate tasted like and that s what I want. I don t
need to taste anything else, Barbie said absently, her eyes and fingers devouring the
pages of cakes in front of her. Ken simply sat there, helpless, looking even more
uncomfortable in the silence that ensued. Bailey tried to give him an encouraging and
kind smile but wasn t sure she pulled it off.
This one!
Bailey looked at the picture that the bride was pointing to and inwardly groaned. The
cake consisted of four stacked tiers, with cascades of icing roses from the top to the
bottom and gum-paste petals sprinkled along the base.
And I want alternating red and pink roses.
And the scattered, loose petals?
Can you make them white? Or would it be better if they were a color?
I think either would look lovely, but it s whatever you want. It s your big day.
Yes, it is, she squealed.
And what do you think? Bailey asked, turning toward the still-silent groom.
Oh he doesn t care. He likes whatever I like.
Sheepishly he shrugged his shoulders and nodded his head. For some reason the
gesture caused a small twinge of sadness in Bailey. Her husband had been like that.
Agreeing to whatever she wanted, never having much to say about anything. His
nonchalant attitude about work, social plans, life and her& it was just more than she
could take for the rest of her life. Now that she d found heat and passion in a whole
different personal lifestyle, she couldn t regret having left him and striking out on her
own.
She did wish things had worked out differently with Aidn though, that it had been
more than just a one afternoon deal.
After filling out some paperwork and taking a deposit, Bailey walked the happy couple
out and then returned to the kitchen. She needed to bake, to play. It helped her forget, to
cope through tough times.
Half a bag of powdered sugar later, along with half a pound of butter, some vanilla and
cream, she was feeling pretty good. Aidn hadn t crossed her mind but three or four
hundred times. Surely, that was some sort of improvement.
