A giant homecoming cake made by the Naval Air Station Oceana Commissary contract baker sits in the store display area nearly finished. A top tier shaped like an aircraft carrier still needs to be added. The 750-pound cake, with a footprint of 36 square feet, would feed about 2,500 people. It was made for the crew of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and their families, who celebrated the ship's return to homeport, Naval Station Norfolk, Va., March 27, 2002, from Operation Enduring Freedom.
