If you’d told me 10 years ago that 10 years from now not only would Darin and I still be together but we’d have two kids and have moved from the Bay Area to Los Angeles and back again and done whatever else it is we’ve done in 10 years I’d have said,
“Hey, don’t bother me now, it’s time to cut that delicious chocolate wedding cake!”
(Chocolate raspberry, to be exact. Chocolate frosting too. Man, we’ve got to get a cake from that bakery again. Katrina Rozelle. It was in Oakland near Berkeley—or was it in Berkeley?—and that cake rocked. My personal rec: make a wedding cake tasting appointment, bring a friend to play your intended, go in, indulge. Trust me: it’s worth the stain to your immortal soul to lie. And if you’re actually getting married or committed? (Yes, I know: ha.) Forget the fancy Hawaiian vacation; just put all the money into this cake. Trust me.)
Of course, if you’d also told me 10 years ago that that was the last season I’d be a baseball fan, let alone a Giants fan, I would have laughed… At dinner we saw some kind of baseball game on the TV in the bar area and I couldn’t for the life of me tell you who was playing…
If it was Monday it was Oakland-Boston. Sunday it was Cubs-Braves. The Cubs and the Red Sox won their respective games.
Didn’t WP Kinsella predict that a Cubs-Red Sox World Series would usher in the Apocalypse? Looks like he was closer to the mark than he knew…
Katrina Rozelle is where we get my moms birthday cake every year. I grew up in the bay area, but now I’m in Seattle for school. I love it when people mention places I know about, thanks.
It’s in Rockridge which is sorta that transitional phase between Berkeley and Oakland, though post code-wise it’s Oakland:)
It’s walking distance from the Rockridge BART which is nice.
I still remember the wonderful taste sensation of our own Katrina Rozelle wedding cake. We now live across the country but i still fantasize about ordering one express. Can’t wait for my next visit to the bay area just for another taste. Erica torte was our choice, umm…umm great!!
