The Bath Township police department received five dozen of
the desserts, along with a note apologizing for "chaos" in the
neighborhood, bearing the names of James, his wife, Savannah,
and their two sons.
“We are all on a sugar high here,” Police Chief Michael McNeely
said. “There are cupcakes galore and they are the best I’ve ever
eaten.”
LaKisha Williams, co-owner of Baker Blvd. Decadent Cupcakes in
Akron, said it took her staff most of Tuesday to deliver the
cupcakes, a dozen at a time, to 65 homes.
The note accompanying the cupcakes read: "Dear Friend, We know
things have been hectic in our neighborhood these past few weeks
and we are sorry for the chaos. We are so thankful to live in
this wonderful community and we are so blessed to have
understanding neighbors like you."
Police and residents of Bath, a suburb of Akron where James went
to high school, had to put up with hordes of fans and media
flocking to his home in the days before the July 11 announcement
that he was signing a free agent contract with the Cavaliers.
James, a four-time winner of the NBA's most valuable player
award, started his career in Cleveland in 2006 but broke fans'
hearts five seasons later when he signed as a free agent with
the Miami Heat. The Heat won two NBA titles in four seasons with
James and Cavs fans hope he can bring a championship to
Cleveland.
