When you have been doing the same thing for almost 70 years, you can get very good at it. That’s right, 70 – Becker’s was founded in 1942, and though they have added a few items during that time, it’s still in the same family and they’re still making the cakes, cookies, and fresh bread that made them famous. Consistency is a virtue, and they deliver on the promise of baked goods the way they used to be before every market tried to get in the act.
