Nanaimo bakery honours local Olympic champion with tasty treat
In a sweet tribute to Nanaimo’s golden boy Ethan Katzberg, Red’s Bakery has introduced a new cheesecake that’s sure to become a local favourite: The Ethan — a Golden Oreo Medal Cheesecake.
The idea for this delicious creation came to life after Katzberg, a 22-year-old hammer thrower, stunned the world by nearly breaking the Olympic record with a jaw-dropping throw of 84.12 meters.
His performance in the finals, where he was the only competitor to surpass the 80-meter mark, was just 0.68 meters shy of the longstanding Olympic record set by Sergey Litvinov in 1988.
