Berlin's KaDeWe celebrates centennial with megacakePosted Mar 2nd 2007 6:57PM by Joe DiStefanoFiled under: Dessert, Food Oddities, Europe, Super Size MeWhat's a luxury department store to do when it hits the century mark? If it's Berlin's KaDeWe, or Kaufhaus des Westerns, the answer is simple. Let them eat cake, and lots of it. Yesterday the store served up an enormous 20-foot tall cake to celebrate its 100th birthday. As you can see here, the confection's lowest tier was adorned with a replica of the store, including marzipan customers, complete with shopping bags. An enormous cake is especially fitting for the luxe KaDaWe given that it has a renowned food hall. With 164,042 square feet of selling space, the store also happens to be Europe's largest. Me and my sweet tooth are holding out for one of New York City's great retail destinations to whip up a similar cake for a special occasion. [via Spluchster]
