This cake was originally at the LGBT Center. But for various reasons, the place closed and this cake needed a new home while cake-hunters were on their journey this summer. Why not The Grove? After all, it is the center for the LGBT, artist and cycling communities. It also hosts the annual St. Louis Pride parade and festival.
When researching 'The Grove', I didn't have much luck. Apparently there are several places around the United States, especially in big cities, that have an area by that name. Formerly called the 'Manchester Strip', the Grove is an upcoming business and arts district in St. Louis. Places include the Atomic Cowboy, the Gramophone and Sweetie Pie's.

UPDATE (8/24/2016): The cake continued to stay outside until mid-2015; it is said that it is now in the possession of Vital Voice, St. Louis' LGBT-themed magazine.
