Maugeri Cupcake Company in Levittown supplied the birthday cake for Anita Hill, who was in Philadelphia this past weekend attending a medical conference.
The presentation to Hill, who initially became a household name during the controversy surrounding Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ confirmation last century, was scheduled for her birthday to be present at the 115th Annual Convention and Scientific Assembly put on by the National Medical Association in Philadelphia.

Beth Maugeri and her daughter, Gina, were selected to supply the cake by event organizers due to their policy of using all natural ingredients.
The multi-layered cake is the biggest the mom and daughter team have made yet. Able to feed 100 people, the cake was vanilla with chocolate frosting and displayed 61-year-old Hill’s sorority. In total, the cake took about 16 hours of work to bring to life, Maugeri said.
The cake had a special significance for Beth Maugeri. She said she has been aware of Hill since the 1991 confirmation hearings of Thomas. Making Hill’s birthday cake was a big deal for the baker.

The responsibility to make and decorate the cake fell to Beth said, as Gina said gave birth the week before the convention was set to take place.
According to Beth Maugeri, the organizers who ordered the cake were thrilled with the way the cake turned out.
The duo has had the order for two months, making sure they had the time and resources to prepare for the large order.
