Pasadena Celebrates 126th Birthday
And of course, there was cake. The six sheet cakes served as confectionary photo albums, with pictures from the collection of host Pasadena Museum of History decorating the tops. The focus was on sports, the arts, transportation, technology, neighborhoods, and water. There were also activities for the kids and a "passport raffle". The cake at left was the seventh of the ceremonial cakes, a crowning achievement for the Crown City. A dozen plain cakes were sliced up for partygoers to enjoy, and believe me, it was delicious.
Over the next few days, I'll be posting articles in my Tournament of Roses column about the party, the cake, and the people who were there.

Exclusive! 360 degree view of Pasadena’s 125th birthday cake
Yessiree! I was the only news photographer allowed in the tent prior to the unveiling of Pasadena's 125th birthday cake on Saturday! I was truly honored. I got a 360-degree video, which you can see in my Examiner Tournament of Roses column, and a few stills. I had to work around eight or ten chefs in a tent barely big enough to hold the cake, so I apologize for the blurry photo.
The cake was delicious!

The usual list of summer events for the City of Pasadena will tie into the quasquicentennial birthday theme,
“Destination Pasadena: Celebrating 125 Years of Service and Hospitality.”
Word of the day: quasquicentennial: 125 years
I hope to run into you at some of these events!
