Tasty Talents
When it comes to creating a special wedding cake , you need more than flour, eggs and sugar. You even need more than imagination. You need some artistic skill. There are many wonderful cakes to be had in the Capital Region, thanks to the talents of local bakers at places such as Crisan in Albany and Villa Italia in Schenectady. Posted on January 27, 2012.
