Charlotte turned 250 on Dec. 3, 2018, and like any proper birthday celebration, there was plenty of cake.
Johnson & Wales University students made stunningly beautiful cakes for 15 our branches. Each cake focused on an aspect or celebratory element of Charlotte's history (Fancy a Hornets cake anyone?). We've provided a sampling of the cakes below.
Happy birthday, Charlotte!
