J’can Bakes Betty Crocker’s B’DAY Cake

Renowned Jamaican-born pastry chef Dr. Altreisha Foster-Bentho has once again showcased her extraordinary talent, this time with a breathtaking eight-tier cake to celebrate Betty Crocker’s 104th birthday. The masterpiece, unveiled at the Minnesota Cake Picnic, was commissioned by General Mills and designed by Foster-Bentho’s company, Sugarspoon Desserts. Described as a culinary art installation, the towering seven-foot cake featured intricate details, including archival photographs from Betty Crocker’s historical collection, which highlighted the brand’s evolution over the decades. Each tier of the cake boasted a unique flavor combination, ranging from pistachio and blueberry lemon to indulgent cherry chocolate, reflecting both tradition and innovation. Foster-Bentho, who proudly uses Betty Crocker mixes in her Cake Therapy Foundation programs, emphasized the cake’s deeper significance: a celebration of history, community, and the transformative power of baking. The event also featured prominent cake artists, including Theresa Johnson-Londot and Sewande Cadmus, who joined Foster-Bentho in honoring Betty Crocker’s enduring legacy.
