The Chicago Cubs commissioned a 400-pound cake replica of Wrigley Field from Carlo's Bakery of "Cake Boss" fame in Hoboken, N.J. for Wednesday's 100th anniversary.

The cake was showcased at Wrigley and then taken to the Field Museum for a charity event, but afterward it was hauled off to a dumpster. A Reddit user photographed the cake being thrown out.

A Cubs spokesman issued the following statement:

"The Chicago Cubs are disappointed in how our Wrigley Field display cake was disposed of by the Field Museum following our successful charity event last night. The team made a decision not to serve the edible portion after the cake was on display outside Wrigley Field for most of the day. Though the cake was mostly made up of non-edible material, it certainly does not excuse how a celebratory display cake artfully created by Buddy Valastro and Carlo's Bakery was handled."
