We threw a 75th birthday celebration in Gulfport for my mom, and rather than going with a grocery cake, I searched Yelp for a local bakery and landed on Fleur de Lis. Other reviewers raved about these cakes and the pictures made my mouth water. I checked their website 2 weeks prior to the party, but their online ordering system was down so I called to get options and prices. I went with the 12" Strawberry Bavarian Cheesecake as mom loves strawberries and cheesecake.
We showed up on the day of the party and when they opened the box to show me the cake, a bright light flashed out of the box and temporarily blinded me. Once my eyes focused, I heard a voice from somewhere say, "BEHOLD!" Before me sat the most beautiful cake I've ever seen in 50+ years of life! But the amazement didn't end there!
Once the party reached cake-eating time, I wheeled it out and before the caterers could take over to cut and serve it, everyone crowded around to gawk, gasp, cry, and take pictures of this miracle that had been displayed before them. Everyone, and I mean everyone at this party commented on how beautiful this cake was. But the fun really started once it was served. The room was filled with "oohs," "ahhhs," "MMMs," and even a few "OMGs!"
No one at this party lives in Gulfport, so unfortunately the likelihood of any of us ever getting another chance to delight in a cake from Fleur de Lis is slim to none. But we are thrilled to have found this gem on the coast for this very special occasion.
