While I never duplicate even my own work exactly, sometimes a cake or cheesecake touches someone’s heart so much that they request a version for their very own.
I made a similar cheesecake for a birthday several months ago and had several people inquire about it. This one was actually made for a Lord of the Rings style wedding. The words tell a romanticized version of their personal love story…
“When the long awaited announcement of engagement twixt Mr Bryan and Mariah of Hobbiton circled through the small town, there was much excitement and merriment to be had. They were a lovely couple, quiet and well respected throughout a community that had been graced with much peace in its seven score and ten years. Each of its brethren kept stoically to a routine handed down to them from generations long since gone, but ne'er a moment or task forgotten.
Bryan and Mariah were no different. They held the tasks of their forefathers with little to no sway until the fateful day they met.
Something happened that day. It was feeling that crept up from their toes and sent tingles down their spines. It was fiery, and like the cool breathe of the oceans all at once. And each time their eyes met the same odd sensation breached the boundaries of their individual worlds, bridging that gap and drawing them nearer one another, until nary a moment they could spend apart.
The union of the two was destined and much preparation had been put into this lovely occasion that was sure to be the talk of Hobbiton for years to come”.
Congratulations, Bryan and Mariah!
