I know you cannot read this so I'll help you: "November 6, 1927, Spokane's Record Cake. The largest cake ever baked in Spokane is frosted and ready for distribution tomorrow night to those who attend the 25th anniversary celebration of the Old National Bank tomorrow night. The cake, built in replica of the bank's home, was designed and executed by Edward Mathieu, Davenport hotel chef and was baked by Otto Votafa, pastry chef at the hotel. It required three weeks' work of a corps of bakers to complete the piece of pastry. It weights 1100 pounds and included in its ingredients are 2300 eggs, 250 pounds of butter, 525 pounds of sugar, 200 pounds of flour and three pints of essence of fresh almond for flavoring. The cake was placed on display in the bank lobby today."
