Celebrating the 78th Birthday of the United States Air Force with a Custom Cake

When it comes to creating unforgettable custom cakes in Tampa, The Cake Girl is proud to take celebrations to new heights. For the United States Air Force’s 78th Birthday, our team was honored to design and build a showstopping 7-foot 3D cake in the shape of a military aircraft. This cake was unveiled during a special ceremony at the Hilton Downtown Tampa with MacDill Air Force Base.

A 7-Foot Plane Cake That Took Center Stage

This wasn’t just any cake — it was a fully edible masterpiece. It was crafted to honor the power, precision, and pride of the Air Force. Every detail of the 3D plane cake was sculpted with care by Celebrity Baker Kristina Lavallee and our award-winning team. Standing seven feet long, it towered above the tables, capturing the attention of every guest as the evening’s centerpiece.

Honoring Tradition with a Ceremonial Cake Cutting

One of the most meaningful parts of the evening was the ceremonial cake cutting. The most senior-ranking service member and the most junior-ranking Airman came together to cut the first slice. This tradition symbolizes the passing of knowledge and legacy from one generation of Airmen to the next. We were humbled that our cake played a role in such a powerful moment.

A Tribute to Tampa’s Military Community

As a local Tampa business, we are proud to support MacDill AFB and the brave men and women who serve our country. Creating this custom military cake was more than an artistic challenge. It was our way of saying thank you to those who dedicate their lives to protecting our freedoms.
