Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!

Last week, we celebrated the lovely Elizabeth Lutz’s birthday. It was my first birthday preparation (and now first blog post), but from the reaction to the cake, I think it was a success. I had to search high and low for the most special Black Forest cake in NYC. Who knew that it would be so hard to get your hands on one these days? CeciCela Patisserie, in SoHo, came through at the last minute with their delicious take on Black Forest, alternating layers of chocolate génoise and brandied cherries in vanilla cream. Hopefully Elizabeth enjoys her meal from Peter Luger as well!

A Double Cheesecake Birthday

Yesterday we celebrated a double birthday in honor of the lovely Carrie Tolles and the delightful Mark Satlof! For cakes, they went for a pair of cheesecakes (plain and strawberry-topped) from the legendary Junior’s of Brooklyn.

Carrie and Mark blow out their candles.

The staff dig in.

Happy birthday, you two!
