Me, Myself, and Harry Styles

Chapter 14

I woke up the next day with my cat dangled across my legs. After getting into sweats, I called Vee and Sammi.  

"Hey girls! It's me, Liz. I was wondering if you guys could come over today and tomorrow to help with wedding stuff?" I asked into the phone. 

"Oo! Sounds fun!" Vee replied.  

"I can make it, too!" Sammi added.  

"Thanks guys!"  

"See you in five!" Vee finished.  

I got out the tons of wedding magazines and phone books that I had previously bought. The girls were there just in time for breakfast. I made pancakes for all of us and we got down to business. I looked at dresses, Vee looked at paint colors, and Sammi looked at local bakers. 

"I found a promising looking bakery in south LA. We could fit a quick cake tasting in." Sammi exclaimed. I nodded my head and grabbed my keys. We all walked to my coop enveloped in a comfortable silence. Once at the bakery, I FaceTimed Harry. He immediately answered.  

"What flavor of cake do you want?" I asked him.  

"Nice to see you, too." He joked." Uhh, maybe chocolate,vanilla, or strawberry."  

"It's three tiers, so, we can have all three." I replied." How's the plane ride?" 

"Long, I'm still on it. We are going to the Italy leg of the tour. Speaking of Italy, cool place for a honeymoon, aye?"  

"I'll look tonight when we get home." 

"We?" He questioned. 

"Sammi and Vee are here to help me." I explained. 

"Hey guys!" He greet them. After discussing other things cake wise, I hung up. A man came out with a large tray of little cakes and ramequins of frosting. He placed the tray in front of us and introduced himself, 

"Hello! I'm Bill Claiborne! I am the head baker. Before we discuss the looks of the cake, let's taste!" 

He handed us each a plate of chocolate cake with a red and white frosting on the top. 

"This is a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream and Strawberry glaze. The strawberries are fresh from our market!" 

I cut a little piece of the cake and ate it. It was Definitely going to be one out of the three tiers. 

"This one is delicious." I said. The girls murmured in agreement.  

"It is our best seller!" Bill squealed. 

He handed us another plate with two separate cakes on it. 

"The one to the left is a vanilla cake with chocolate hazelnut frosting. The one to the right is a banana cake with peanut buttercream." I tried the first one, and my body shivered in delight. The second one, not so much.  

"The vanilla is good." I spoke. I turned to Vee who was secretly spitting the banana one out on a napkin. I smiled and turned back to m. Claiborne. He handed us a third plate with three cakes on it. 

"This is your final plate. The one on the right is a strawberry cake with coconut buttercream and coconut shavings. The one in the middle is a caramel cake with a dark chocolate frosting. The final one is a graham cracker cake with Apple pie filling. That one is perfect for fall weddings."  

I tried all three. The first one was okay. I'm not really a strawberry person. But, Harry likes it. The caramel one was gross. I really don't like caramel and that was too much. The apple pie one was good. My Dad loves apple pie so I figured I would get a small cake with that flavor. I asked Vee and Sammi their opinions on the cakes.
