If you thought Milwaukee was a town made of cheese, beer and bratwurst, you just might be wrong.
In fact, in this particular case, the city is made of bread.
Three Milwaukee skylines depicting landmarks like the beloved (and closed) Mitchell Park Domes and the Milwaukee Art Museum have been created from bread as part of a project promoting Aunt Millie's Bakeries arrival in Milwaukee.
The family-owned Indiana-based company, which specializes in bread and other bakery products, recently expanded their distribution to include Roundy’s stores in Wisconsin. And, in an effort to show their "loaf" for the new market, they’ve launched a billboard project featuring sculptures of Milwaukee’s skyline created solely from bread.
Three teams worked on the bread sculptures, which will be competing for your vote through the end of March.
Don't be crusty. Visit auntmilliesloavesmilwaukee.com and vote for your favorite.
The winning skyline will be used in a billboard campaign in Milwaukee beginning in April.
