Bakers dozen Part V

Seventh Stop
 
Cakespeare Festival
In Forest Park.
 
This cake was stop 7 on our Baker’s Dozen tour. This cake wasn’t on our initial list but I saw it while we were going to our next stop. I stopped to look at the cake while my family drove ahead. I called them and said, “I found another cake!”, but they didn’t see it, so they kept driving. This cake was accidentally put at the St. Louis Public Library at first, but now it’s at its correct location.
 
The Shakespeare Festival in Forest Park held its first annual free festival in 2001. Since then, the festival has grown from a two-week celebration to a two-month celebration. The first play performed was Romeo and Juliet. This year Henry IV and Henry V are being performed starting May 17. Visit their website for show dates and times.

Here's another view of the same cake.
 
Do you think because you are virtuous, that there shall be no more cakes and ale?
Twelfth Night Act 2. Scene 3, line 114
 
William Shakespeare is considered by many to be the greatest playwright of all time, although many facts about his life remain shrouded in mystery.

He lived during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I and he coined close to five thousand new words and phrases that we still use today. The Shakespeare Festival is a celebration of all things Shakespearean.
