The Butter End!
11.14.11
We just found out about the Butter End Cakery and although it’s not an OC-based business, it’s well worth knowing about. The custom cake studio in Santa Monica was founded by Kimberly Bailey, an insanely talented cake designer who specialized in fantasy to traditional cakes all made from cage-free, hormone free butter, organic milk and the finest chocolate available. (Bailey also bakes gluten free and vegan cakes too.)
Her cakes are magical—not just works of art, but are absolutely delicious, and taste heavenly. So if you are in Los Angeles, and looking for a cake treat, give the Butter End Cakery a call. You will thank us.
Butter End Cakery is at 2709 #C Santa Monica Blvd, in Santa Monica. 310.943.9241.

It Takes Nerve!
11.14.11
We’re beyond thankful to have California’s first dedicated stem cell research center at UC Irvine. Researchers at the Sue & Bill Gross Stem Cell Research Center at UCI are behind the first human clinical trial in the world for human embryonic stem cell-based therapy for damaged spinal cord tissue. Stem cells could change medicine and help benefit victims of strokes, spinal cord injury, Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s disease, age-related blindness, cancer, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, HIV/AIDS and other diseases.
My sons Taylor and Tristan (a type 1 diabetic) and I were fortunate enough to take part the Center’s “It Takes Nerve” PSA in support of stem cell research. Renowned supporters in the PSA include San Diego Chargers Antonio Gates, Olympic gold winning diver Greg Louganis, TV personality Leeza Gibbons, Newport Beach pro surfing legend Corky Carroll, Proposition 71 author Bob Klein, UC Irvine students and many others. You can watch the PSA here, and if you want to learn what you can do for stem cell research, visit www.TakesNerve.com.
