UPDATE (9/4/2016): This cake was nearly destroyed in early 2015, as it was discovered near a dumpster in Clayton. It was saved by Cakemeister Jon Sanfilippo and is now a Ghostbusters-themed cake. It has been displayed at some events around St. Louis, mostly comic and pop culture ones. Some parts of Rich's design are still visible, as Jon got Mr. Brooks' blessing.
