the cover of Rumour Mill . All year the news was
filled with everything and anything about the wedding. There was a special on Rumour Mill channel called Tamzin to the Altar . It was even
mentioned that the couple sold their wedding pictures to Rumour Mill for more than what Hollywood’s biggest movie stars were
paid for. Rumour Mill magazine and
media is the U.K.’s and Europe number one best selling tabloid and what a
better way to get more attention.
                “Now
she needs a cake. Can I please see the instructions?” Grace asked.
                Guy
slid the envelope to Grace. As she opened the envelop Guy noticed the length of
Grace’s fingers. They were long and her nails were cut short and shaped round.
They didn’t have shellac on them or the length of talons painted in an array of
colours. It was a look coveted by the W.A.G’s.
                Grace
carefully read through the instructions and looked over the sketch. There were
similarities to the Blackwell cake, but it was virtually impossible to make
given the time frame and space. There’s
no way I can pull this off.
                “Where
does she expect me to pull this from? A magician’s hat? She’s asking for things
which are out of season like coconut filling. Coconut is out of season. Four
days is not enough time. We already lost today and besides I don’t have the
kitchen space or help.” Grace replied as she bit her lip in thought.
                Guy
wanted to lean over and grab her. He wanted to pull her over the counter to
suck, bite and kiss her scarlet lips. Guy shook his head. He tried to focus at
the problem looming before him. She’s my
only option. I’m not leaving the Savoury Plum unless I have a cake and to be
more precise, Grace.
                “Look,
can you please put something, anything together?! It doesn’t need to be exact.
I can take you anywhere you need to go to get supplies. The wedding is on
Saturday and she needs it desperately.” Guy pleaded.
                “Today’s
Tuesday night and I can pull something together. But the problem is kitchen
space and staff. I’m truly sorry. I can’t help you.” Grace was sincere in her
response.
    As much as Grace
wanted to do this so she’d get a foot in the door to her it was impossible. She
didn’t have the capability of creating such a cake in a small space in a short
amount of time.
                Guy
looked at her with his big cocoa eyes. He was putting the charm to convince
Grace. He saw her pull back and she felt a twinge of remorse. A light bulb went
off in his head.
                “What
if you stayed at Worthington Hall? I can get you a room and you can work
directly with chef Trevor Hare’s staff. I’m sure he’d be willing to help. Trevor
knows Tamzin’s temper. He doesn’t have the staff to create such an intricate
cake while he is preparing a million of other dishes, but I’m sure he’d be
willing to loan one or two junior chefs. He’s a bit miffed Tamzin didn’t hire
his pastry chef in the first place and that chef is in Paris attending a
conference.” Guy said. Guy believed he was a genius for offering a considerable
solution.
                Grace
thought hard. It’s an opportunity to do
something for myself and the future of the business. She’d hob-knob with
chef Hare and Chef Hare can give her advice on opening her own cafe. He’s very famous after all. Trevor started
from humble beginnings.   From busboy to his own restaurant the Rabbit
& Hare and his telly show , Grace believed he’d understand her.
    The solution Guy
came to was brilliant and Grace liked the idea very much. It also gave her the
chance to get to know Guy. The more they talked about the wedding cake and the
solutions, it made Grace want to spend more time with Guy. God only knows there aren’t many men in Ivy that are as good-looking
and young! Even if it amounts to
nothing,
