I have never found another bakery that reproduced the frosting in the exact same way... deliciously rich and seet... but not too sweet.Rich Demeternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845436933807383233.post-44445439188857112082009-12-06T23:40:11.845-05:002009-12-06T23:40:11.845-05:00How well I remember those bakeries.

Loved them both. There was also a Hanscom bakery between Ebinger's and Tell's. They had the best Angel Cake. Tell's had some kind of marshmallow covered with chocolate that was shaped like an upside down cone. You can't find anything like that anymore. I really miss Ebinger's the most. I still think about them often.Gingernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845436933807383233.post-43568906070054587552009-10-06T14:46:00.029-04:002009-10-06T14:46:00.029-04:00Oh the orthellos!

As I recall, Tells was around until the early 80's when I believe some Eastern European group bought them out. I also recall a rumour of a scandal where Mr. Tell (the son of the original owner I believe) started fooling around with one of his workers and his wife left him at around the time he sold...not too hard to guess the affair/split up had something to do with the sale of Tells.Petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845436933807383233.post-84551588321403808302009-10-02T20:36:18.804-04:002009-10-02T20:36:18.804-04:00Just looking at that chocolate cake, I can smell t...Just looking at that chocolate cake, I can smell the sweet aroma coming from Ebingers and NE Tells.<br />Ebingers had the best jelly donuts in the world!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689846633620237681noreply@blogger.com
