More cake, please!

July is national ice cream month, and nothing goes better with ice cream than cake. My previous blog featuring cake photographs found in the Wells Fargo Corporate Archives was surprisingly popular, and I am happy to be returning with a few more. The most exciting are images from the 1984 South Carolina National Bank and First National Bank of South Carolina merger celebration which featured a massive cake slice. It was so huge the street was closed to traffic and bakers had to frost it from a cherry picker! Other cakes are shaped like bank buildings, one is for a customer’s birthday and all look positively joyous.
