The Challenge
Create a monumental anniversary cake that would represent Dangote Group's 25-year journey from a small trading company to Africa's largest conglomerate. The cake needed to serve 500 people while incorporating architectural elements representing their major business sectors and telling the story of African entrepreneurship.
Our Solution
We designed a six-tier architectural marvel featuring edible replicas of Dangote's major facilities - the refinery, cement plants, and corporate headquarters. Each tier represented a different business sector with intricate sugar work depicting industrial processes. The centerpiece featured a rotating holographic logo and edible timeline of company milestones.
Key Challenges & Solutions
Collaboration with industrial designers and advanced sugar sculpting techniques
Sealed projection system with food-grade barrier technology
Internal steel framework with architectural-grade support systems
The Results
The cake became the centerpiece of international business news coverage, symbolizing African business success globally. It generated 10M+ social media impressions and led to corporate cake commissions from 12 other major African corporations. The design won the International Cake Design Competition's 'Corporate Innovation' award.
