During the recent Royal visit to Boston, many people wondered about who the Royals were wearing, where they were staying, with whom were they meeting, etc. Perhaps not as many pay attention to what they were eating. If this were the case, they would have missed out a one of our region’s greatest delicacies – cake from My Grandma’s of New England.
While sharing high tea with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Prince William and Princess Kate put aside their scones and picked up delicious slices of My Grandma’s cake. In so doing, they were introduced to one of the greatest improvements upon their native ways since the Declaration of Independence first overshadowed the Magna Carta.
For Mayor Wu and her fellow revolutionaries, the fact that My Grandma’s cake kicks any crumpet’s rump is no surprise. Having started with a cinnamon walnut variety in 1990, Grandma has expanded her handmade menu to include cakes with New England blueberries, Cape Cod cranberries, locally-sourced pumpkins, tropical bananas and healthful walnuts, and even apples from her fellow foodie Granny Smith. In honor of another one of Boston’s best, Grandma also offers a Ted Williams cake that will surely score at the top of anyone’s top 10 list.
Though she started baking just outside of Boston, Grandma has since spread her sweet sales internationally, winning awards in both Inc. and People magazines and on the Food Network and QVC. She was even added to the ”O” list by food expert (and American royalty) Oprah Winfrey!
So the next time you have the future king and queen for tea or just need something that is fresh and delicious sure to do with so many other friends and neighbors in the Boston area and around the world do- Call Grandma!
