Compare this:
…to this:
At 12 feet high, more than 3,900 pounds and with a cost of $120,000, this cake will feed more than 1000 people with fire works and all. It’s the mother of all birthday cakes and a replica of the great NY Plaza building. It’s that building’s 100th birthday and they went all out… Yes the mother of all cakes…something like 1800 eggs uses, 100s of pounds of flour…
While this celebration is going on, its sickens me to see the large disparity between the wealthy and the poor in this world. The same day that news focused on the Plaza Birthday, another story focused on the fact that Zimbabwe’s bakeries have shut and supermarkets there have warned there will be no bread for the foreseeable future. The government admitted that wheat production had collapsed following the seizure of white-owned farms.
I can go on an on about Zimbabwe and Mugabe. It is a highly contentious subject, especially for Southern Africans. I won’t, however. Instead, I urge you to hit the Support One logo on the left sidebar and start helping as much as you can to feed the poor!
