At The Seafoam Room in Ponte Vedra, Fla., with my family. Great food, great view, great wine and lots of laughs!

If you could have anyone order one of your cakes, who would it be?
I would like to make a cake for Oprah. I think she enjoys life and appreciates good, comforting food as well as women entrepreneurs [like myself].
