Traditionally, Wedding Cakes have been nice to look
at but nothing special to eat. Our Wedding Cakes put
an eruf to that!
Tantalize your guests with flavors such as
chocolate mousse, strawberry, kahfua,
chocolate chambord torte, or one of our many
cheesecake flavors.

Our Wedding Cakes are made from the finest
chocolates, butter, fresh fruits and creams. To
enhance the subtle flavors, we frost your
selections with lightly sweetened fresh
whipping cream.

We extend an invitation to the bride
and groom to make an appointn-tent
for a private wedding consultation and
complimentary sample tasting.

"We've met so many nice
people. We've made some
friends here among Ameri-
cans" despite some cultural
attitudes.
Americans want to make
friends with Soviets, Mrs.
Valetchikov said. "But peo-
ple work differently on it."
In America, it's okay to
speak to people every few
months and still call them
friends, Mrs. Valetchikov
said. "We are used to more
depth. I don't feel that close
to people here."
Most of the friends they've
made since arriving in
Detroit are Soviets. "We can
feel equal among ourselves,"
Mrs. Zager said. "We don't
know when we'll feel equal
to Americans."
And they have not
forgotten their friends back
in the Soviet Union.
"I had to leave my few
friends and relatives," Mrs.
.Valetchikov said. "I can feel
the pain in my heart. I still
miss my friends. I have no
one to replace them. We
have a couple of friends here,
but it's not the same."
"We speak to them on the
phone. We try to write every
week," said Mrs. Zager.
"We're not sure what letters

they get or whether they get
letters at all."
All three couples have
friends and family who hope
to leave the Soviet Union,
although they also know
some will never leave. Mrs.
Valetchikov's brother has a
son in the Soviet army.
"After you've been in the
army, they don't let you
out," she said.
While their experiences
have been mixed, they would

friends and relatives from
emigrating to Detroit.
However, they would give
them a little advice.
"I would tell them the
truth about what's nice and
what's bad in America," said
Mr. Shpigel, whose wife has
family in the Soviet Union.
"Truthfully, I think it is
better to be prepared," Mrs.
Valetchikov said. "They
should know they will have
to work hard. They have to
be prepared for difficulties.
That's what I would tell to
my friends. It will make life
easier." ❑
