Let Her Eat Cake
Imag: U.S. Department of Defense
It was 1945, in the heat of WWII, when a group of American GI’s spotted a freshly baked birthday cake sitting on the windowsill of an Italian home near their camp. Overwhelmed by its decadence, the soldiers swiped it from the windowsill and dashed, leaving then 13-year-old Meri Mion without a dessert for her special day.
- Meri was absolutely crushed, and for seventy-seven years has never forgotten the events of that fateful cake-less birthday.
🎂 Baking amends... Meri recently celebrated her ninetieth birthday, and her party was certainly a special one.
- She was honored in a ceremony by US soldiers, and then presented with a gorgeous chocolate cake to make up for the one lost all those years ago.
- Meri wiped away tears as she shared, "We will eat that dessert with all my family remembering this wonderful day that I will never forget."
