Concord Street Sweets is taking a bit of time away from The Wednesday Market for a family celebration. My niece, Jessica Lindsey, oldest daughter of my sister Sharon, is getting married on Saturday, April 18. Jessica is the first grandchild in our family to get married, and our whole family is involved in orchestrating the celebration.
I am catering the cocktail party and meal (Chicken Marsala for 150 people!). My sister Teresa is doing all of the bouquets, boutonnieres, decorations and centerpieces. Sharon, mother of the bride and a baker extraordinaire, is making the bride’s cake and groom’s cake, and is setting out a dessert buffet of the most spectacular confections. The bride and her attendants will be beautifully coiffed and their complexions perfected by Kimberly, our sister who is a master cosmetologist. Wedding memories will be preserved with videography by our brother Jeremy. And the rest of the family – well, we’re just trying not to go crazy through it all.
Needless to say, we have A LOT OF WORK to do this week! Here is a sweet poem/recipe, in honor of brides this wedding season.
A Good Wedding Cake
Author Unknown
4 lb. of love
1 lb. butter of youth
1/2 lb. of good looks
1 lb. sweet temper
1 lb. of blindness for faults
1 lb. of self forgetfulness
1 lb. of pounded wit
1 lb. of good humour
2 tablespoons of sweet argument
1 pint of rippling laughter
1 wine glass of common sense
1 oz. modesty
Put the love, good looks and sweet temper into a well furnished house. Beat the butter of youth to a cream, and mix well together with the blindness of faults. Stir the pounded wit and good humour into the sweet argument, and then add the rippling laughter and common sense. Work the whole together until everything is well mixed, and bake gently for ever.
Thank you for your support of locally grown agriculture and for choosing to purchase locally. We appreciate your patronage and look forward to seeing you Wednesday at The Market.
Thanks,
Beverly
