SAN ANTONIO – The official cake marking San Antonio's 300th birthday was unveiled Monday at the Pearl.
The multilayered pastry is a collaboration of the Tricentennial Commission, the Culinary Institute of America and RIO Magazine.
A lot of Tricentennial history went into creating the special pastry.
"I think one of the hardest tasks is coming up with a design that was able to represent all that San Antonio is, and unfortunately, we don't have every single element that was given to me on the list,
but I think we have some very important ones," said CIA associate professor Melissa Fritz.
