For some of us, grandma's baked goods are just a distant memory. Step back in flavor history with their poppy seed cakes, Polish "bow ties" and other less-sweet desserts. Certainly, Herman's cool 1970's era signage will serve as a flashback: true vintage!
Herman's was the go-to bakery for special occasions in Highlandtown beginning in 1923 and then opened in Baltimore County's Dundalk in 1958. If Grandma's still around but doesn't feel like baking, she'll definitely be familiar with Herman's high quality baked goods.
They make lovely wedding cakes, cute-as-a-button cupcakes for princess parties, as well as not-glamorous but delectable Boston Cream cakes. Their custard filling is decadently rich!
