Many were jazzed to pig out on fondue, sparkling Jello molds, and Ambrosia cake. Join certified pastry chef and owner of Lakehouse Bakery Keegan Rodgers and local writer/historian Patti Smith as they take you through the grooviest decade and the foods the cool kids were hip to! In partnership with The Lakehouse Bakery.
