I posted on cmu.cs.general and got a bunch of responses (included below). We went with Karen Kahn and got good service, a reasonable deal (perhaps because we mentioned Dennis and CMU), and I think the cake was quite good.

Soon. :-) A friend of mine caters such things. She used to be the pastry chef at Le Pommier on the South Side and is now independent. I've personally eaten two wedding cake made by her (one was mine, another was made for a good friend of mine) and they were both wonderful. Her name is Karen Kahn and her phone number is 371-6165. She may be too busy to help you on the spur of the moment, but it's definitely worth giving her a call. -Dennis [Robert O'Callahan (roc+@cs.cmu.edu) 2nd year CMU SCS PhD Home page: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~roc "Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love." - From A Prayer of St Francis]
