Wrigley Field 100-Year Celebration Cake Trashed and Dumped

The glorious 400-pound Wrigley Field cake created by Cake Boss Buddy Valastro to observe 100 years of the famed ballpark's existence was trashed and dumped.

The 25-square-foot, chocolate, vanilla and fudge "Edible Confines" was on display at Wednesday's game and then made its way to the Cubs Charities Bricks & Ivy Ball fundraiser at the Field Museum.

On Thursday, the damaged cake was spotted on a utility cart on its way to the trash heap.

The Cubs issued a statement: “The Chicago Cubs are disappointed in how our Wrigley Field display cake was disposed by the Field Museum following our successful charity event. The team made a decision not to serve the edible portion after the cake was on display outside Wrigley Field for most of the day. Though the cake was mostly made up of non-edible material, it certainly does not excuse how a celebratory cake artfully created by Buddy Valastro and Carlo’s Bakery was handled.”

Valastro, a New York Yankees fan whose Hoboken, NJ, bakery is featured on TLC's "Cake Boss" show, provided 13 chocolate cakes to be eaten at the fundraiser.
