Cubs' Wrigley Field 100th anniversary cake tossed out like yesterday's trash

The Cubs celebrated the 100th anniversary of Wrigely Field yesterday with a late inning loss to the terrible Diamondbacks, and an epic cake made by "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro that was apparently made out of predomianntly inedible material. Which, is it even a cake at that point?

That's besides the point. The cake was on display outside all day, and then on its way to the Field Museum in Chicago for the Brick and Ivy Ball.

That plan was scrapped, however, when Wrigley Field employees decided the cake fit really neatly in the dumpster.

No, they actually decided not serve it since it had been sitting outdoors all afternoon. But the Cubs did not like how the cake in the shape of their legendary home was just sort of left in a trash recepiticle where any redditor, like ChewysDingleberrys, could happen by and snap a photo.

An image of Wrigley Field in a literal trash can may be a bit too much to take on the north side.
