New this year will be custom “Tricentennial birthday cake” for the borough of Haddonfield that will be celebrating its 300th year all through the year.
Baked and designed by sisters Toni and Chrissy Walton of Sweet T’s Bakeshop, 14 Kings Court, Haddonfield, the one-of-a-kind confection will be decorated with scenes from Haddonfield’s 300-year history. 1700s will be depicted with founder Elizabeth Haddon, the Indian King Tavern, Lenni Lenape Indians and Quakers; the 1800s tier will have a Victorian house, the discovery of the Hadrosaurus dinosaur and a steam engine; the 1900s layer will depict the high school and bulldog mascot.

This cake will be displayed by the downtown stage on Kings Highway at Tanner Street from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
