HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY ASDA
Waterfields helped ASDA celebrate the 15th anniversary since the opening of their store in Leigh by creating and ENORMOUS celebration cake. The two tier sponge cake at over 5ft by 6ft was the largest cake Waterfields have ever made and kept our cake decorator Jayne and her team busy for days.
ASDA's Manager and staff were delighted with the cake which was sliced into over 2000 pieces and shared with employees and customers.
