Dressel Cake Information

Misc.
ADVERTISEMENT
"Those whipped cream cakes were created by Joe Dressel, who started the bakery along with his two brothers, Herman and Bill Dressel. John J. Dressel, a next generation Dressel, also worked for the bakery for 47 years. He passed away in 2008 at age 74. His sons are Donald and Leonard Dressel. Decendants of the Dressels still live in Chicago." - Uncle Phaedrus

Baumann's Bakery, 12248 Harlem Ave. in Palos Heights makes a "The Dressel's Cake,", which is based the baker's memory of the Dressel's Bakery chocolate whipped cream cake.

A Note from Betsy at Recipelink:

Thanks Halyna! Here is a little more info.
"I love seeing all of these recent posts for Dressel's cakes!! The bakery was started by my family well before I was born, but went out of business when I was a kid. My dad, mom, grandpa, uncles, great uncles..etc... all worked there and I was very proud of it growing up. Every now and then when I meet a fellow Chicagoan I get asked if I'm any relation to the bakery and my family would love to know that the bakery is still remembered! (sorry i don't have any recipes - wish i did!!)" - MDressel to Chowhound 5/32009
"I recently got one of Baumann's "Dressel's Cakes" and, while okay, it was nothing like the Dressel's cake I remember (my parents, who had those cakes from the 50s until they closed, agreed). I mean no offense to Baumann's." - onpinsandneedles to Chowhound 4/16/2010
