I’ve been coming to Henrietta’s Table for coffee for more years than I care to count–actually, since before some of the servers there were even born! And over those years, I’ve been impressed by the restaurant’s hospitality–and also, at Christmas time, the gingerbread cakes by pastry chef Daniel Angelopolus and his staff. This year, the cake displayed in the restaurant’s foyer is a castle that seems like a resort–complete with blinking holiday lights and topped by what looks like a Christmas tree, decorated with pine cones, ribbons, and colorful bulbs. And–except for a few metal props, it’s almost entirely edible!
It includes a nail salon, a bake shop with tables and chairs sprinkled with snow; a skating rink, a church—and a pigpen complete with a chocolate fence and mud. (The restaurant is named for Henrietta, the pig)
And my favorite display, last but not least: Sous chef Joe–looking out the window.
My kudos to all.
