...Yes the industrial nature of Chicago food described, shapes the foods that define Chicago. In the midst of World War II, and there was a shortage of ingredients to go in foods that we usually prepare for manufacturing, Chicago inventors developed alternatives for the retail market. In 1954 James Alexander Dewer, a Baker for Continental Baking Company, realized that several machines used to make cream-filled strawberry shortcake sat idle when Strawberries were out of season. Considering that Strawberries were out of season, they were not accessible for Continental Baking Company to obtain. Dewar then conceived a snack cake filled with banana cream which he dubbed the Twinkie, and started filling shortcakes with Cream Filling instead of Strawberries.The industrial nature here is that when producing a product, you use what you have got, to get what you want. You use what you have, to obtain an ultimate desired result....

...IN THE MIDDLE: CUPCAKES Cupcakes are a world-wide phenomenon, almost everyone loves a cupcake. Cupcakes are even a household name, which is why I have begun to start this business. Each of the 4 ps are important because they put together the whole business. You first need a product so you have something to sell; otherwise it’s not a business. Then you need a price to make a profit, a place to sell your product, and finally a promotion. The promotion helps to get your business going. Without all of these, even just missing one, you have no business. The idea for “IN THE MIDDLE” was actually a pregnancy craving I was having. One night I wanted a cupcake but I also wanted a cookie. So I got to thinking what if you could do both? So I went out and bought some stuff and it took off from there. Everyone loved the idea and not many had heard of such a thing. So I took it farther, brownie in the middle, cheesecake and every day I try to take it one step further. Maybe one day I can finally open my own shop. I love to bake always have, I find it relaxing and soothing. So I thought why not make this project on something I know, my own business. The product is cupcakes, with a cookie, brownie, or cheesecake in the middle. Which is where the name came from thought it would be something fun and cute. These cupcakes are made from scratch, from the dough in the middle, to the cupcake batter, to the icing. All done by my hand from my own recipe, nothing is used in someone else’s recipe. It...

...In February of 2008, I visited a tiny restaurant by the name of Cakes&Ale. Accompanied by local Chefs and Mixologists, I had no idea what I was in store for. We ordered several small plates to share, beers, and a few desserts. Amongst the desserts was a small plate with 3 cream-filled cookies called “Phatty Cakes”, that to me, resembled little debbie's oatmeal pies. Skeptical, I picked one up and took a bite. Contrary to my preconceived notions, this little delicious treat turned out to be a marscarpone filled gingerbread whoopie pie. Soft gingerbread cookies with a sweet yet savory marscarpone filling, that almost melts in your mouth. After my initial visit, I would visit Cakes&Ale solely for the infamous “Phatty Cakes”. At 3 cakes for $6, I would stock up buying over a dozen little treats. And no, I never bothered to share, nor did I bother to tell anyone where I got them; they were truly my little secret. After years of consuming Phatty Cakes, I had to know who was behind the tiny delicious treat. Pastry Chef, Cynthia Wong was the mastermind behind this decadent little treat. “The 36-year-old Southerner has held a lot of jobs in the Atlanta food industry. She was the production manager for Via Elisa Fresh Pasta, a food stylist for the TBS program “Dinner & a Movie” and even a food reviewer for Creative Loafing. But she has found her metier at Billy Allin’s Cakes & Ale restaurant.”( Kessler 2010) In 2011, the Pastry Chef behind my favorite dessert, took her recipe...

...Paulo Campos Principles of Management September 10, 2013 Section A Jiffy Mix, made by the Chelsea Milling Company (CMC), is the fourth largest pre-packaged baking mix manufacturer in the United States. Currently, Jack Kennedy is Vice President and General Manager at CMC. It is a private company that has been family-owned and operated for 110 years. CMC employs about 350 employees. Its current customers include a broad number of super markets and middle-class families. CMC has made the Jiffy line of baking mixes since 1930. They have been very successful with their philosophy: use high quality ingredients, maintain low prices, and don’t pay for advertising. Jiffy has also succeeded in holding its position as a sales leader using their philosophy against their competition. CMC competitors include large, established companies like General Mills and Pillsbury. Its early beginnings can be traced back to a time where almost every town had a mill which was used to ground wheat from local farms. The Chelsea Milling Company was founded in 1887 when a fellow by the name of E. K. White purchased the mill in the small town of Chelsea, Michigan. By the year 1901, it was incorporated and became known as the Chelsea Milling Company. In 1908, it was sold to Harmon S. Holmes and Howard Holmes was assigned to manage the mill. Up until 1930, the company was in business for local consumption just like all the other Michigan mills until Mrs. Mabel Holmes (Howard’s wife) had the...
