One Step Closer…
I’ve been calling bakeries all over town to try and find one that can accommodate my corn allergy. None of them were willing to take the chance that I might have a reaction to errant corn dust or something. I tried to explain that I wouldn’t have a problem unless the corn was IN the cake, but apparently when store owners hear “allergy”, what they really hear is “lawsuit”.
This time, armed with the phone number for the Hollin Hall Pastry Shop(recommended to me by several people), I found success! Part of my success was due to framing the issue a bit differently. Apparently “sensitivity” does not have the same danger associated with it, and some people are willing to think a bit more outside of the box than others.
Keep your fingers crossed that they don’t change their minds!

ooh, great bakery — between your reception food and the cake…I just may have to crash this wedding (don’t worry, I won’t) but it does sound like the food will be good.
