Hot springs & fancy cakes - Michelle Heston of Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn Ep. 25

Michelle Heston of the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa knows resorts. And wellness Wednesdays. And world-class dining. But she also moonlights as fancy-cake maker that can make a chiffon cake look like a taco and a pound cake in the shape of a penny farthing. 

Michelle details the history of the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa (it was once an R&R locale for Navy personnel during World War II), how the waters from Calistoga are the same ones that run underneath the Fairmont and some of their spa programs like watsu massage. 

Also, her niece wanted a Barbie cake but Michelle wasn't going to pay crazy money for a cake. She she made her own. And from that came Heston Cakes, one of the top cake makers to ever be on The Sonoma Spiel.

"I do shoes, I do hats, I do lots of junk food cakes," she admits. How do we know that we, ourselves, are not actually made of cake? The wonder! The horror!

And she admits our schtick is perfect for a spiel.
