What an honor it was to be a part of the Obama Presidential Center’s opening festivities. A celebration this big wouldn’t be complete without a giant Eli’s Cheesecake! The words from President Obama’s 50th anniversary Selma speech decorate the cake and are also reflected on the exterior of the Obama Presidential Center.

What does the cake say?

“You are America. Unconstrained by habit and convention. Unencumbered by what is, ready to seize what ought to be. For everywhere in this country, there are first steps to be taken, there is new ground to cover, there are more bridges to be crossed. America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ That word is owned by no one. It belongs to everyone. Oh, what a glorious task we are given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours.”

-President Obama, 2015
