Let them eat wedding cake!

Bakerycentrism continues as la.foodblogging weighs in on Valley bakeries. It's a fine list that includes Big Sugar Bakeshop, Layers Cakes and Leda's Bake Shop (among others). Meanwhile, Callie Miller, she of the Sweet Lady Jane rant, has promised to keep me apprised of her cake hunt (Clean lines yes, foofy frosting flowers no).

However, all of this points to a bizarre truth: Los Angeles has crazy money. Furthermore, we have a city of crazy-monied bridezillas who want their weddings to resemble movie premieres. We are also a city of creatively minded souls (like our brave Callie) who are neither crazy nor bridezillas but would like their wedding cakes to be interesting, unique and bear no resemblance to their fourth-grade bedrooms, when you still thought Cinderella was really neat.

So why are we not a city of multiple go-to bakeries for brilliant, knockout, sophisticated wedding cakes? Why are we letting New York put us to shame?
