ATOMIC CAKE INCIDENT AT 80
“…it still seems utterly shocking to me that an atomic explosion, containing thousands of incinerated human bodies, should be represented…by a gruesome concoction put together by pastry cooks.” – Rev. A. Powell Davies in a letter dated 11/12/1946.
“We intended the cake as something to eat.” – Lyman K. Stephens, baker, quoted in TIME, 11/18/1946.
