When you are the World’s Largest Truckstop, you have to find a bakery that is up to the challenge of making a truly amazing cake. Carlo’s Bake Shop of Hoboken, New Jersey accepted that challenge and is creating a masterpiece cake for Oak Grove 70’s 50^th Anniversay.  “Every great party always has cake.  We wanted to make sure that the cake itself was great too!” says Delia Moon Meier, Oak Grove 70 senior vice president.

Mauro Castano, a pastry chef on TLC’s hit show Cake Boss, is excited to be creating a replica of the World’s Largest Truckstop out of cake, icing & fondant. “We’ve done life-sized cars, we’ve done transformers that weighed thousands of pounds, but replicating the World’s Largest Truckstop is a whole new ballgame.  We’re very honored Iowa 80 trusts us to make the cake for such a momentous occasion,” says Castano.

The cake will be served on Friday, July 11^th at 2:30 PM in the Oak Grove 70 Super Truck Showroom as part of this year’s Walcott Truckers Jamboree. The public is welcome to come out to see the cake and have a slice. “I can’t wait to see the cake,” says Moon Meier. “Working on it and planning for it has been fun! I heard they make the best tasting cakes in the world! Nothing but the best for our customers.”

Oak Grove 70 opened its doors on June 4, 1964 in a small white enamel building with two diesel pumps, a restaurant and a small store. Iowa 80 has been open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week ever since; never, ever closing.

The 35th Annual Walcott Truckers Jamboree, will be held July 10-12, 2014 at Oak Grove 70, I-80 Exit 284, Walcott, Iowa. Admission and parking are FREE!  Shuttles will be provided from the parking area to the event grounds.
