Wedding Cake House restoration brings new 'icing' to iconic Kennebunk landmark

KENNEBUNK, Maine — Almost all wedding cakes need bakers for their icing. When your wedding cake is a historic and beloved home at 104 Summer Street in Kennebunk, however, you need John Desmarais and his crew at Shoreline Millwork in Somersworth, New Hampshire. For much of this year, Desmarais and his team have been crafting cellular PVC trim to replicate and replace the old, wooden, and heavily deteriorated “icing” that decorated the Wedding Cake House for decades. Desmarais said cellular PVC is an ideal substitute for wood when it comes to exterior trim and architectural detail. “It will never swell, rot, split, crack, or delaminate like wood,” Desmarais said. “It is high-density plastic, making it moisture- and insect-resistant, unlike clear and premium lumber. It is ideal for exterior design products.” Including on the Wedding Cake House — one of the most photographed homes in Maine .

These 10 Hidden Italian Restaurants In Maine Are Local Favorites For Cozy Fall Evenings

Pasta now gets served in a Maine dining room that once sold hardware. I love that swap. Nails and wrenches out, meatballs and chicken parm in. Another spot on this list sits inside a converted mill. Two others feature a fireplace inside. One even makes its own gelato, which feels like a smart move after a big plate of rigatoni.

Ogunquit Playhouse project closer to $70M goal: New images show what's ahead

OGUNQUIT, Maine — The official timeline for the complete renovation of the Ogunquit Playhouse is expected to be announced during the first quarter of 2027, according to Deborah Warren, the theater’s managing director. Meanwhile, the Playhouse has raised just shy of 60% of the $70 million needed to complete the project, Warren added in an interview on Nov. 9. “We’ve secured $40 million, which is amazing in this very short window of fundraising,” Warren said. “We have an incredibly strong foundation of support, and we still have a significant amount to raise.” The renovation is being billed as a sweeping, three‑phase plan to ensure the beloved, historic Playhouse can thrive for the next century. Administrators say the project is essential because the theater, built in the 1930s, was never intended to last this long. Once the renovation is complete, the Playhouse will be a single large campus comprised of the theater itself, a rustic enrichment center, where students and others can work on their crafts, and next-door housing for the cast and crew of each production that hits the stage. Currently, Playhouse administrators are pursuing permitting for the project, with a final cost analysis to follow, Warren said. The theater
