Cake Walk

Via the Delmar Loop.

The St. Louis Walk of Fame was dedicated in 1988 in University City, Missouri. It has more than 80 brass and bronze stars that line the sidewalks on Delmar Boulevard. In order to be nominated for a St. Louis Walk of Fame star, nominees must have been born in St. Louis or have spent their formative or creative years here and their accomplishments must have had a national impact on our cultural heritage. Every year new nominees are inducted.

Some of the inductees include, Ozzie Smith, John Goodman, Nelly, Dick Weber, Bob Costas, the 5th Dimension, Stan Musial, Vincent Price, Brad Pitt and Chuck Berry.

This cake was decorated with some of the stars from the Walk of Fame.
While we were looking at the stars on the Walk of Fame, we found the cake at the Tivoli Theater. The Tivoli opened on May 24, 1924. A photoplay called “The Confidence Man” was played that first night and was accompanied by music from the Jules Silberberg Orchestra.

The Tivoli Theatre closed in 1994 but was reopened after a $2 million renovation it in 1995. Today the theatre houses 3 screens. It also has movie memorabilia inside that includes Marilyn Monroe, The Wizard of Oz, the Marx Brothers, and Vincent Price. Vincent Prices’ picture is painted on the cake outside the Tivoli.

The Tivoli is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Thanks Diane!
