In the suburbs of Indianapolis, a small alabaster cottage sits beneath a dusting of snow. Wreaths and a festooned signpost outside hint at the splendor within, but a mere step through the doorway takes one’s breath away. The nose is greeted by the welcoming aroma of treats baked from scratch in the on-site kitchen, while the eyes feast on myriad adornments glistening all around. Flowers cascade from the ceiling, chandeliers cast a magical glow, and smiling servers dressed in blush pink uniforms bustle cheerily about.
