Reeves Cake Shop, Akron's Cory Avenue store known for its wedding cakes and annual
tasting, has a second location inside Summit Mall in Fairlawn set to open on Friday.
Owner Rick Reeves said the bakery will be in the space formerly occupied by Godiva Chocolates, and will feature cupcakes, cookies, gingerbread, and cakes to go. He said customers will be able to order larger cakes at the mall store and pick them up there, but all baking will continue to be done at the Cory Avenue location.
Reeves said the bakery has a lot of customers who travel from Fairlawn and West Akron for cakes, so this will give them a closer location. Also, because the bakery bakes for special order only, this location will give the customers a chance to buy from behind the counter and will give the mall its first cupcake shop.
To celebrate the grand opening, cupcakes will be on a buy-one-get-one sale through Sunday.
Vintage book is back
You may have only spotted a copy of Glenna Snow's Cook Book in your grandmother's basement or on a table at a garage sale, but it was the kitchen tome for Akron housewives in the 1930s and 1940s.
Now it's available again, thanks to a re-release of the book by the University of Akron Press.
Glenna Snow was the Akron Beacon Journal's home economic editor from 1932 to 1946. Her advice guided a generation of Akron home cooks through the Great Depression and World War II when food shortages were common.
In her time on the job, Snow published three editions of her cookbook — 1938, 1944 and 1947 — filled with recipes sent in by readers. UA along with the Beacon Journal have re-published the 1944 edition.
She wrote a daily column from her home on North Firestone Boulevard in Akron, where she would take calls from readers about cooking and meal planning. A few years after her retirement, Snow and her husband, Mason Snow, who had been president of Akron's Permanent Federal Savings & Loan Co., moved to Bradenton, Fla., where she resided until her death in November 1976 at age 86.
She was not related to former Beacon Journal food writer Jane Snow.
The new edition is paperback and sells for $19.95. It should be on local bookstore shelves soon. To order a copy, visit http://www.uakron.edu/uapress or call 800-247-6553.
