On November 29, John Schmidt celebrated his 80th birthday at the Cedar Rapids Thursday club. His family provided an amazing carrot cake decorated as a sturgeon to commemorate his fishing days.

John is a valued bridge player, both for his expertise at the table and his exemplary manners. We were honored to share in his cake and his celebration.

The cake was delicious as well as creative. It was created by an award winning baker from HyVee.
