I recently sent Kevin a list of Portland bakeries that I have chosen as possible creators of our wedding cake. I found six that I liked but we are trying to whittle it down to four. Yes, wedding specialists advise only trying three vendors but dammit this is cake and we are trying at least four different places.
Today I received a response to my e-mail. I expected him to look at the links, browse through the sites and pick a few he thought looked nice. Oh no, he is too methodical and analytical and thorough for that. He loves to spend time learning and researching things and I shouldn't have been surprised that that would include cake too. Here is his e-mail:
I actually created a weighted matrix based on the below categories and rated each bakery.
Weight 5: Artistry
Weight 4: Flavors
Weight 3: Price
Weight 2: Reviews
Weight 1: Delivery & Web Site
White Rose: 73
Sweet Cakes: 62
Serious Cakes: 57
Laurie Clarke Cakes: 51
Papa Haydn: 42
La Joconde: 39
If you want a go at it I have a spreadsheet ready for you to plug numbers into. ;-)
How freakin' cute and awesome is that? I just want to hug his little computer nerdness right now. I absolutely love it.

LOL!!
Did you look at JaCiva's at all? Our office gets their cakes all the time (we like cake), so we're all huge JaCiva's fans here.
I may need that rubric :)
You could probably SELL that rubric/spreadsheet. : )
