THE BACON CAKE
It has been our pleasure to bring Wright Brand Bacon into homes for 100 years. Now, we’re excited to be doing it in a whole new way. Introducing The Wright Brand Bacon Cake. Savory cornbread, thick-cut bacon and hot honey cream cheese all come together to help us celebrate our milestone event by helping you celebrate yours.
SPECIAL NOTE
This recipe layers two circular loaves of cornbread, which are held together by a layer of stuffing in between the layers. The exterior of the cake is iced with cream cheese and decorated with bacon rosettes, strips of bacon, and chopped bacon pieces.
