The Mall of America will celebrate its 20th birthday with tons of good eats on August 11.

On August 11, 1992, the Mall of America first swung open its doors and became the nation's largest retail and entertainment complex, changing Minnesota forever.

Now, on this August 11, the behemoth mall will celebrate its 20th birthday with plenty of free eats, including a custom-made cake by Buddy Valastro, star of the hit TLC show Cake Boss.

The cake is an 8-by-4-foot, three-dimensional "model" of the inside of the mall. It was made with more than 50 pounds of flour, 450 eggs, and 250 pounds of fondant, and it took four days and seven people to create, according to MOA spokesperson Bridget Jewell.

Reusable container company Aladdin is sponsoring Love Your Lunch Day tomorrow. Nationwide, food trucks will be participating by handing out their goodies in reusable containers. It looks like one of those old Styrofoam Big Mac containers, but it's actually Earth-friendly, reusable, and pretty darn cute. In addition to the containers, participating trucks will also be handing out bonus goodies (they site bubbles as an example) "to add to the lunchtime joy." All participants have to do is buy a little lunch from one of the two local trucks participating in the event.
