As a non-professional baker I made one once for a very good friend and it's an experience I will never forget.

I found comfort in watching her in BA account and i still follow her until now. I got her book and just so in love with it! She’s such a personality and the reason for my passion for baking. In 2022 i move to Austin, TX for school and just the fact that she was here where i am was so wild and just like a dream come true. I know its too dramatic but it’s crazy where i was then and where i am now. Love you claire!

Plus, the video at the wedding is priceless because Claire is trying to get out of the shot so Vinny and Shaelin can have the moment to themselves - and they seem completely happy to share the moment with Claire... Priceless. Yes, I love the precise planning, including cake-cutting diagrams, pre-ordering groceries, and the perfect packing of the shipped items. But all in all, this is an act of love. Brava, Claire! Mazel Tov, Vinny and Shaelin! Kudos to Harris for loving support and camera work.
