When her assistant Ben let the cat out of the bag about the mayor's surprise anniversary cake, the news spread like wildfire. Mary, determined as a kid in a candy store, exclaimed, "Baking this cake will be a piece of cake!" She worked with multiple marvelous master bakers creating a towering masterpiece, as delicious as a king's treasure is rich.
