718 Brooklyn : We Remember
College Bakery

College Bakery in Cobble Hill was once Brooklyn's favorite place for a birthday cake and is sadly missed by all. Whenever we sell Brooklyn prints in the area I hear a new story like this one from Rosie in Prospect Heights.

The Bouquet

Rosie waited for her birthday every year thinking not of gifts but of the big pink rose covered butter cream cake from College Bakery her mom always got.

On the morning of her 13th birthday she felt older, more mature, an adult. (Well, almost) She didn’t tell her mom she wanted something new and special to celebrate her entry into her teen age years and she tried to act like the cake was not big deal but when her mom put the big box with the string handle on the table she could hardly contain her excitement.

Her mother carefully and much too slowly untied the box and turned it toward her. With trembling fingers she gingerly opened the lid. Tears streamed down her cheeks as the box did not contain the usual pale pink buds but a multicolored bright bouquet of flowers from peonies to poppies, daisies to daffodils.
