The Wimbledon Championships are being broadcast through July 3rd, so there is still time to pull together a celebration party.

When I first read the descriptions, I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy them. (I have simple tastes.) However, I was pleasantly surprised that the ones that I tasted were amazing! Cake highlights from pastry chef Khahlidra Levister include the following:
