The City of North Bend will be celebrating its 100th birthday with a party and “Community Quilt Cake” at the Festival at Mt. Si on Saturday, August 8th at 1:30 p.m.
Citizens are invited to participate by baking a cake and delivering it to the Festival Grounds between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. that day. Cake mixes along with full instructions will be provided by the City’s Volunteer Coordinator Cynthia Golpe of “Cakes by Cynch”. Cynthia may be reached at 425-638-9839 or by email at cgolpe@hotmail.com, no later than Friday, July 31st.
The cake will be the centerpiece of the City’s birthday celebration and will be comprised of 154 cakes that will serve 2200 people. The idea originated with local student Annika Laufer who wrote a letter to Mayor Hearing suggesting the City enlist citizens to join together to bake the City the world’s largest birthday cake. While another City holds the Guinness Book of Records using 30,000 sheet cakes, we thought Annika had a great idea and decided to pursue creating North Bend’s Community Quilt Cake.
