Perfect Endings

Presidents and First Ladies, Grammy, Emmy, and Academy Award winners, World and Olympic Champions, International Heads of State, and Legendary Chefs have all dined on Perfect Endings cakes. Oprah Winfrey celebrated her fiftieth birthday with four lavish parties throughout the country...and four Perfect Endings cakes. One may suppose that the recipient of such high praise and acclaim has an ego as bloated as the most ethereal soufflé. On the contrary. Close friends and colleagues admire owner Sam Godfrey for his modesty in the face of a customer list that includes renowned chefs, jet-setting socialites, and Hollywood's rich and famous. If his grandma, one of his biggest life inspirations, were still living today, she would be ecstatic with the wonderful baking career that Sam has pursued. She would lavish praise on him from sunrise to sunset (of course, it should be noted that she was completely biased). Then she'd remind him of all the people who are responsible for any success that he has had… she'd identify the family of supporters by name to remind him of his roots and to remain humble and grateful. She encouraged confidence in others, yet she did not tolerate arrogance or entitlement. Her grace and humility inspired him - and continue to inspire him to this day - as well as her ability to grasp what is truly important in life. Despite Sam’s best efforts, he is not a graduate of a prestigious culinary school. However, he’s okay with it (but getting a formal baking education is on his to-do list). Mama and the churchwomen in our neighborhood, who all loved to bake, taught me everything he knows about baking, and that knowledge has resulted in countless satisfied customers.
