In January, Kroger invited the top Certified Cake Decorators representing 20 divisions to participate in the 2024 Cake Challenge, with representatives from Disney and DecoPac. Hosted at General Office in Cincinnati, Ohio, decorators engaged in a friendly competition for individual and team awards, including the grand prize of spotlighting the winning designs in Kroger's Family of Stores across the country. Participants were judged on originality, presentation, difficulty, design and overall appearance.
"Our associates, particularly our cake decorators, are trusted to be part of so many of life's special moments from creating the perfect birthday party to graduations," said Josh Harpole, vice president of Deli and Bakery at Kroger. "Celebrating the passion and talent from our top decorators makes these winning designs hitting our stores that much sweeter. We are thrilled to collaborate with Disney and Pixar to bring customers Cars and Toy Story themed cakes and cupcakes in stores across the country."
The winning cake designs include:
Disney and
Pixar's Cars Sheet Cake: Cake features Lightning McQueen, Cruz Ramirez and Jackson Storm from the film, along with bright red, yellow and blue icing with a lightning bolt and speedometer
Disney and
Pixar's Toy Story Sheet Cake: Cake features red, yellow and blue icing with a 3D Woody decoration waving hello to his friends
