VERNON, Texas, Dec. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Everyone knows that everything tastes better with bacon. As Wright® Brand's 100th anniversary year nears conclusion, the brand has created a first-of-its-kind savory cake featuring the mouthwatering experience of their thick-cut, real wood-smoked bacon.

"Turning 100 is a major milestone and we wanted to do something big to close out our year-long celebration," said Cal Tharp, senior brand manager for Wright Brand bacon. "We kicked off our anniversary by launching a bacon-inspired fragrance and later in the year took over the town where the brand was founded, Vernon, Texas, with a one-day bacon festival. The only thing missing was the cake! We wanted to give people a way to celebrate our centennial with us in a way that feels distinctly Wright Brand."
