The history of bakeries (and any small businesses) always fascinates me. It takes so much dedication and sacrifice to keep it going. I loved this story! I recently wrote about a small business (if you’re interested: https://medium.com/@juliananicewarner/breakdown-e0b7e3657772
Your dive into bakery history inspired me to get to know more about the local bakery in my town — Loback’s in Buena Vista, Colorado. They make the BEST donuts ❤️
Hough Bakery opened its doors in 1903 in Cleveland, Ohio, baking for nearly 90 years before bankruptcy closed their door. Their 'rum logs' were a unique treat that I miss to this day. If any of your other readers are from the Cleveland area, I expect they will remember this bakery. https://case.edu/ech/articles/h/hough-bakeries-inc
Well this gives us something to look forward to in strawberry season! I hadn’t heard of this cake, but definitely want to try it. Roeser’s, Panaderia Nuevo Leon and Baker Miller are the bakeries I find myself missing most here on the East Coast.
Do they have an initiation? A special handshake? I think we should be told! 😀 That's amazing, like a medieval guild...
What a subject line!!
This makes me want to hop on a plane to Chicago right now and find me some atomic cake!
Sweets and secret societies. That's the kind of history they should teach in school.
I was mesmerized by the very first picture in this story. What the hell is that?! I could almost kill for one of those.

I'm not a huge banana person, but that picture of the Atomic Cake looks so delicious!

I really enjoyed this one, and I need to know more!

How cool! Despite living in and around Chicago my whole life I'd never heard about this. Thank you for sharing what you discovered!
OMG, what a cake and what a story! So want to be part of this society, though I suspect its secret is now out. Well done, Jolene!
