| Bakers looking forward to royal wedding
Prince Joachim and Marie Cavallier's upcoming wedding later this month may wind up being very lucrative for the nation's bakeries. The bakery chain Guldbageren (the Golden Baker) has launched a special wedding cake which will only be sold on the 24th of May, the royal wedding day. According to the chain's chief executive, Claus B Pedersen, it will be an 'out of this world cake experience'. 'A layer of sun-dried apricot and rhubarb compote will be spread on a sponge cake base. This fresh tartness will be accompanied by a heavenly caramel cream between more layers. As an extra touch, there will be roasted pumpkin seeds in the cake which adds crispness and depth,' he said. The cake will be coated with white marzipan and crowned with the Danish and French flags along with blueberries and strawberries.
Wedding Cake Orders Stolen in Wisconsin Bakery Robbery
A Wisconsin bakery is in a scramble to match 200 wedding cakes with the brides and grooms who ordered them after a robbery stole their safe. Burglars stole the safe at LaSure's Cafe and Bakery during a break-in early Tuesday. Owner Bob Heisler wasn't too concerned until he realized the safe held the contracts for every wedding cake order for the next two years. "My wife just about screamed," he said. "I mean, she just went nuts." The Heislers keep a hand-written record of every order -- the same way they’ve done it for 30 years, and the list is not backed up on a computer. The contracts include detailed drawings and requests for each of the nearly 250 wedding cakes they prepare each year. "Anything for after this coming Sunday, we don't have a contract," Heisler said.

The sculptures have been placed at sites of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, including the Flight 93 crash site near Shanksville, as a symbol of comfort and hope in the face of tragedy."It came from God," Owen said.
