Char reminds me so much of Natalie Portman...IRL she looks a lot like her. Also, oddly (since she is a tiny peanut; not even 5 feet tall & weighs like 110) she is constantly mistaken for a college student. Seriously, people estimate her to be in her mid-20s all the time (which pleases her immensely). I, on the other hand, looked like an 18 year old when I was 30 (which also pleased me immensely). When people see us together they say we look alike, & yet when she is with her Dad, people say she looks just like him. I think she looks exactly like Charlotte. ;-)
The cake story is funny. We LOVE cakes from the Dessert Deli...a really upscale place in Amherst that makes designer cakes (they made our wedding cake based on a sketch I did). Char REALLY wanted a Dessert Deli cake & I almost forgot. So, I called them last Friday, not wanting to be troublesome. I said "I'll just want a simple 8 inch round golden cake with vanilla buttercream on the outside & a layer of chocolate buttercream inside (Char's drop-dead favorite...exactly like our wedding cake). & the manager happened to remember me & she said "C'mon...you NEED decorations!" & I said "...daisies? & 'Happy 16th Charlotte'?" & she said "Sure! Now what color?" & I'm like "Light green, her favorite!" & she said "DONE!" & that's how I ended up with a designer cake two days later. That place totally rocks.
