About Us |

|
| One
day my little Granddaughter Madison came over and said, "Grandma
Deb, are we baking today?" I loved the way it sounded
coming from her tiny voice and that is where the name
originated. |

Several years ago, I took my cake as a hostess gift to a
Christmas party. Many people approached me throughout the
evening asking if I would consider baking them one. This
past Christmas, I used my 125 year old family recipe to bake a
few cakes. I took samples of my cake everywhere I went and
in less than seven weeks, I received over 350 orders!
During this same time period, I took orders for and baked over
60 dozen Scottish Shortbread and put together 40 Gourmet Gift
Baskets. |

Each cake is baked
then wrapped in a rum soaked cheesecloth, wax paper, saran wrap,
a festive cello-wrap and then labeled. I bake three sizes,
the small being the most popular as many are ordered as gifts
for employees, teachers, clients and hostess. After
receiving such positive feedback from my customers, I decided my
fruit cake had to be made available to everyone! |

People who never liked fruit cake in the past ordered the cake
after tasting it. They loved it! Some even used the
cake as their Christmas Pudding with a hot rum sauce.
Others put custard, warmed Grand Marnier and even ice
cream with the cake. Not a week goes by that someone
hasn't spoken to me about the cake. In fact, people in
town are even calling me "Grandma Deb" when they see me.
Grandma Deb's
gourmet is about bringing back the old tradition and the true
meaning of dark fruit cake. My cakes are baked out of my
home in Barrie, Ontario. Each one "made with love" and I
am very proud to be sharing a part of this delicious great great
grandma recipe with others. |
