I first met Kristine Bender, the creative pastry chef behind K. Rose Cakes, at a bridal event last year. One look at her gorgeous cakes and I fell instantly in love. Within the past year, Kristine has risen to the top of the D.C. pastry industry. And the icing on her cake? She was just named “One to Watch” on Washingtonian’s list of the Best Wedding Vendors. With flavors like almond chocolate, banana, key lime blueberry, and St. Lily peach, the only thing better than the way her cakes look is the way they taste. Trust me, set up a tasting with her. After one bite you will rest assured that your guests will still be talking about your wedding cake for months after your big day.
