The Plan-America's Birthday Cake

When we left you off last, we decided to take on the responsibility of creating America's birthday cake.  Yesterday, Joey and Vinny took a ride over to the Philadelphia Visitors Center to share with Tiffany and Jen their vision and inspiration for the cake and display.  The response from the planners at the Visitors center was tremendous.

"This is an opportunity for us to do our part in honoring our grandfather's love and appreciation for his country," said Vinny.  "I remember being a child no older than 10 or 11, and hearing God Bless America every day at 12:00.  It seemed like he planned on being next to the radio at 11:59 everyday to ramp up the volume so everyone can hear the song,"  Joey added.

As Joey and Vinny walked into the store from their brief tour you could see a plan had already been formed.  I asked the guys for some insight into potential ideas, Vinny said, "All I can tell you is that my grandfather will be proud."  I guess we will have to wait until Tuesday (the planning meeting) to see what the guys have in mind.  I did get this from them.  There will be at least 2,000 people to serve, and there could be up to 15,000 visitors to the Visitors Center on July 4th.  We obviously do not have a cake to serve that many people, so a creative plan must be in mind.

Check back in on Tuesday to see what the brothers have in mind.  Based on the excited look on their faces I think this plan could be very interesting.
