A FAMOUS BAKERY.
| How the Hollands Became Cakemalxers
For the Royal Family.

How the hollands Became Cakemalkers
For the Royal Family.
In one of the old buildings which
bear the architectural imprint of Queen
Anne's time in Chester, England, is a
bakeshop-not an ordinary bakeshop,
for the royal arms jut out from the Sec
os,d story, and Immediately above is a
sign bearing the name "Bollands.
And the proximity of the sign to the
royal arms is notidle commercial myth
to insnare new customers.
In the annals of the tradesfolk of
Chester there never was greater man
than Richard Bolland, the original
owner Of the bakeshop. In 1886 the
Duchess of Kent and her young daugh-
ter, the Princess Victoria, visited the
city for the purpose of officially opening
new bridge that was to bring all
kinds of Importance and prosperity to
the town. OF course it was an immense
event for Chester, and every one did
something to make the visit Of the
great folks memorable.
Richard Bolland was ambitious but
poor, and he churned his brains might
lily to devise some attractive method of
showing his loyal appreciation of the
visit. In happy moment he decided to
make some small cakes of transcendent
excellence, put them in fancy box and
present them to the young princess.
Happy thought! Potent cakes! Great
Bolland!
The next year the little princess,
whose palate had been enchanted by
the flavor of the Chester cakes, became
queen of England, and one Of the first
acts after her accession in 1887 was the
appointment of Bolland as one of the
queen s warrant holders. So much for
the power of box of small cakes.
How long the flavor of those cakes
fingered in the royal memory is shown
by the fact that % years later, when
the Prince of Wales was to be married,
Victoria gave a commission to Bolland
to prepare the 'lg cake for that
great event. Ii no ordinary we'd
ding cake that = Bolland produced
either, and it's exhibition earned him
such tremendous fame that every Eng
lish bride of wealth and prominence
who has married since then has had
the Chester baker prepare her wedding
cake.
Descendants of the original Bolland
now conduct the shop, but they use the
same recipe that proved so successful in
the days Of Victoria's childhood, and
still bake cakes for the royal family
