The title of this post goes down in history as one of the funniest things to happen here at the Inn. And there have been a lot of funny things here, we’re a funny bunch. But, the above quote was the oh-so eloquent description one of my waitresses gave some customers when they asked for more information about the Tunisian Orange Cake. That’s actually what she said. That’s it. You know what, they ordered it. So, what do I know?

I was thinking of this because today I made a birthday cake for a group coming in tonight and I just thought I’d let anyone know, if you’d like a special occasion dessert while you are dining with us here at The Shoreham Inn, please ask. I need a little notice, and I always love to get some guidance; chocolate or not, is carrot a no-go, maybe fruit is better..we all have our personal favorites. Me, I’m not really a chocolate girl, not that I’d turn it down, but if you were making me a birthday cake, I’d want carrot, or something lemon….or, actually, to be completely honest, I want a little box of macarons, all to myself. But, we’re not here to talk about me. We’re talking cake – I love an excuse to get out the cake stands and do a little something fancy. So, just ask.
