LAS VEGAS – June 15, 2018 – Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino Executive Pastry Chef Stephen Sullivan, who was recently named “Pastry Chef of the Year” at the 29^th 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. It’s a show of extravagance typical of Las Vegas, which is fast becoming one of the most popular travel resorts in the world. It’s even favoured by families now thanks to a new list of the best vegas hotels for kids. The cake was simply spellbinding.

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
