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.
