Rep. Pfluger Selected to Decorate Texas Scene for America's 250th Birthday Cake

WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) was selected by the America250 Congressional Caucus to decorate the State of Texas's scene for America's 250th Birthday Cake, a landmark commemorative project that will be displayed in Washington, D.C. for millions of visitors. Representing Texas's proud energy heritage, Congressman Pfluger decorated an oil derrick and pumpjack made entirely from modeling chocolate and finished with edible gold paint. The decoration will be incorporated into the final cake alongside representations from all 50 states and four U.S. territories. Joining Congressman Pfluger in the decorating process was Lead Cake Artist Grace Pak, widely recognized for her appearance on the Netflix series "Is It Cake?" The America250 Birthday Cake project is an initiative of the America250 Congressional Caucus and Commission, which is dedicated to planning and coordinating the nation's semiquincentennial celebrations.
