Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino Executive Pastry Chef Stephen Sullivan, who was recently named “Pastry Chef of the Year” at the 29th Annual U.S. Pastry Competition, created a truly one-of-a-kind birthday cake for GRAMMY®, TONY®, and EMMY® Award-winning singer-songwriter, arranger, producer and musician, Barry Manilow, who turns 75 on Sunday, June 17.
The piano cake, which required a truck to move from the pastry kitchen to the Westgate International Theater to the hotel lobby, took Chef Sullivan and his team more than a week to brainstorm, bake and construct.
Currently sitting on display in the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino lobby, the special cake features:
- 40 pounds of fondant icing
- 100 pounds of royal icing
- 165 sheets of rice krispies
- It took four bakers one full day to construct just the front of the piano and keys
- The cake took Chef Sullivan more than a week to brainstorm and construct
