Blue Rose Cheesecake and Bake Shop was inspired after
forty years of baking in the restaurant business. It
all began in the early 1980s with the “little diner
that could”, Blue Ribbon! During that time the bakery
department was a one-person operation, baking and
serving American classics like apple pie, muffins,
Danish, and of course, New York-style cheesecake! All
of the baked goods were a hit, but it was the
cheesecake that was in a league of its own. It was so
good in fact that the family was encouraged by
customers to participate in some local baking
competitions. They did, and the results were
award-winning! After placing first at both Finger
Lakes and Vermont fall festivals, the Blue Ribbon
owners decided their cheesecake may have a chance to
win on a much broader stage.
