These cakes
The Saint Louis 250 Birthday Cakes. We found a new one down at the City Garden last week with cousins. :)
Today for my list I compiled a plan for the cakes we want to try and visit still. I know we won't make all 250, but we definitely want to get photos with more than eight!
I researched the locations from a handy website that lists where each cake is at which you can find here Cake Locations and put them into categories.

So we have a long way to go obviously and are still missing quite a few from the list. And I know that we will probably not make it to every cake on our personal list. But I think having it broken down into locations like this will help us see as many as possible!
St. Louis Cakes here we come!! :)
I think this is soooooo awesome that the town is doing this!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this is making for some great adventures and photos, Mary Jo! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea to visit and take pictures at many of them! Around here we have streetcars, fish, and now Mardi Gras bead dogs, all benefiting various non-profits. I'll have to notice more and take pics sometime.
