You might want to shop for a cake for your party at Jamie’s in Casady Square.  This one was decorated for Thanksgiving.  It is a white cake with raspberry filling.

Check out the top.  There is a real pear, an orange, grapes, truffles and chocolate and white chocolate candies.  The white chocolate surrounding the cake is also edible.

Don’t know what will be available for Christmas and New Year’s. Call Jamie Davis at 879-9999.

Gary Strebel, a practicing OB/Gyn physician, has been a hobby winemaker for over ten years. Then in July of 2007 he  was licensed commercially to produce and sell to the public.

Wines in the Strebel Creek Vineyard include Zinfandel, Merlot, Muscat, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Sangiovese, Syrah, Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, and Viognier. Prices range from $9.99 to $15.99.

Gary’s wife, Sherry,  runs the gift shop. They renovated their 100 year old barn into a winery and gift shop. Commuters on North MacArthur may remember the llamas and the angora goats as they grazed near the fence. Strebel­Creek Vineyard & Gift Shop is located at 11521 N MacArthur Boulevard, in north­west Ok­la­ho­ma City, about half­way be­tween Hef­ner Road and 122nd Street, on the west side of the street.vineyard.jpg
