Welcome to the <em>Fancy Footnotes</em>, Fancy Cakes by Leslie’s new blog. As a bakery that specializes in wedding cake creations, we have chosen to debut our blog as we celebrate the wedding of <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Edward+Cullen+and+Bella+Swan&hl=en&prmd=imvnso&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=gD6sTvBD4ezSAa2fuZMP&ved=0CDcQsAQ&biw=1127&bih=584&sei=%20oT6sTuCtC8L50gGcvd3FDw">Edward Cullen and Bella Swan</a> in the final chapter of the <em><a href="http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilightseries.html">Twilight</a></em> series, premiering in theaters across the country in November. The saga, which follows the love affair between Bella, a human, and Edward, a vampire, ends with <em><a href="http://www.breakingdawnmovie.org/">Breaking Dawn.</a></em> Its release on <a href="http://mobile.fandango.com/?&from=location">November 18<sup>th</sup> in the D.C. area</a> is expected to bring with it a flurry of flick-fandom. Movie-goer’s will <em>see</em> for themselves what author <a href="http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/thehost.html">Stephanie Meyers</a> <em>wrote</em> in black and white. The movie is, in actuality, the visual translation of the love born between Edward and Bella — it’s the result of the vision of a creative team that includes screen-writers, producers and actors whose job it is to bring words and emotions alive. As a creator of cakes and pastries, the visual celebration of love is dear to me, as well, and wedding cakes are my specialty. I have seen love in so many forms over more than two decades behind the helm at Fancy Cakes by Leslie. Each couple has their own special flavor of love; it is my job to take what these couples tell me about themselves, about their love affair, about their connection and create for them out of flour and sugar — a sweet reflection of that love. It is eerily appropriate given the <em>Twilight </em>debut, that just last month I created for an adorable, fun-loving couple a Zombie Wedding cake.<br />

It was the directive of the husband, a rarity in the wedding business. He came in with copious notes about the cake that he wanted to share with his soon-to-be-wife. And so, for this couple that wanted to celebrate the fun-side of their friendship and love, the Zombie cake was born. It was a wonderful and fantastical challenge for my team and for me. The result was a comedic opus that captured the couple creatively and deliciously.
