strawberries & cream hints of rose are often cakes as delicate — and as varied — as can be. Where does one even begin to choose? Couples who wed at The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City are treated to an elaborate, customized tasting experience that exceeds all rational expectations, allowing brides and grooms to choose from more than 200 potential flavors of cakes, fillings and frostings.
