There has been so many food events/news around Nashua that I’ve been lacking on the restaurant reviews, but I need to share this next upcoming event with you before I move on. I was speaking with the ladies over at Frederick’s Pastries in Amherst last week for a story running in Wednesday’s Feast on Fall desserts, and, in the process of speaking with them, I found out that they are holding a Purple Velvet Torte Day on Saturday the 26th. Why purple? It’s the owner’s favorite color, and why should velvet cake only be red? The cake-masters at Frederick’s are giving away free samples of their purple torte from 12 to 2 p.m. in Amherst with a live broadcast by 106.3 Frank FM. While the thought of eating anything purple scares me, I trust that Frederick’s will make a delicious cake creation. Plus, it’s free.

Gettin’ hitched? We all know there is nothing more important to having a successful wedding but lots of delicious food. Oh, and love. But fortunately for Frederick’s Pastries in Amherst and Bedford, local lovebirds are lovin’ their creations. The editors at New Hampshire Magazine Bride voted Frederick’s “Best of Bride 2009″ for Best Edible Art. With cake flavors like dark chocolate with mocha buttercream frosting, or the seasonal pumpkin cake with regular buttercream, and filling flavors like mudslide, blackberry and peanut butter, it’s no surprise that Frederick’s took the cake on this one (no pun). Cake flavor combinations aside, Frederick’s is also well known for their exquisite cake decorating skills. Scroll through the gallery on their website, or visit either location to see for yourself. Their wedding cake displays are truly edible art.
