PLUS, TODAY WE CELEBRATE: Boston Cream Pie Day
In 1856, at Boston’s Parker House Hotel, French chef Monsieur Augustine Francois Anezin created this pudding and cake combination. The decadent cake comprises two layers of sponge cake filled with vanilla-flavored custard or creme patisserie. The cake is then topped with a chocolate glaze, such as a ganache or sometimes powdered sugar and a cherry. In 1996, Massachusetts declared the Boston Cream Pie as their official dessert.
