The special guest of the day is this elegant
cake, derived from a French chef's recipe and first created for the Todd
family as a sheet cake. It was later transformed into a lovely
layer cake by a White House chef.

The story of the special cake that was first
prepared for the Marquis de Lafayette when he visited the Todds of
Lexington, Ky. Later it would be used by Mary Todd as she wooed
a proposal out of Abraham Lincoln. |

Samantha Bishop of Hopedale arrives with her
grandmother Chris Huff. The two began their day at Postville
Courthouse, then drove to Mount Pulaski to celebrate Abe's 203rd there
as well.

The first visitors of the day complete their
tours. Before having a piece of cake, they stop long enough to
pose for Phil Bertoni's camera.
