November 26 is National Cake Day! 🎂 Take a look at this sheet cake that was baked to celebrate the USS Yorktown’s recovery of the Apollo 8 space capsule in 1968. As the Navy has grown, it’s created its own traditions, including one around its birthday on October 13. At celebrations from ships to shore, the Navy's birthday cake is cut by the oldest and youngest sailor at the same time. The tradition is said to represent passing knowledge and experience from one generation to the next, and makes cake an integral part of the ceremony. How’s that for a slice of history? 🍰 #PatriotsPoint #MountPleasant #ExperienceMP #CharlestonSC #Charleston #CHSToday #ExploreCharleston #DiscoverSC #SouthCarolina #cake #nationalcakeday #cakeday
