Then comes an online bake sale to pay for an egg donor, a surrogate and in vitro fertilization.
In the kitchen of their snug, rented loft off U Street, Will and Dan Neville-Rehbehn, a married gay couple, are “baking for babies,” as their Web site calls their efforts to raise the money they need to start a family.
Tonight, they’re baking a Margarita Layer Cake that will sell for $70.
“I need 12 cups of powered sugar!” Will, 30, calls out to Dan, 29, who is watching their red KitchenAid mixer whip tequila-lime buttercream frosting on high.
“Got it,” responds Dan, double-checking the recipe on the couple’s iPad.
The multilayered vanilla cake also calls for “margarita liquid cheesecake” — a filling made with agave-based 1800 Tequila Reserva Silver — and “roasted corn tortilla-chip crunch,” which are alternated in an 11-step assembly process.
Most of Will’s recipes are similarly labor-intensive. Take his Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever, which must age in the fridge for several days before they are baked. A dozen of the hand-size sweet-and-salty treats goes for $45.
The pair liken their fundraiser to an old-fashioned American bake sale — the Web site is called “Will’s Bake Sale!!!” — with a few 21st-century twists. And while gay marriage, surrogacy and the Internet are all modern phenomena, the human desire for baked goods is not. And the Neville-Rehbehns are counting on it.
