Rice's Bakery

Up into the 1970's the driver of a Rice's Bakery truck would come to your door with a tray full to overflowing with sinfully delicious baked goods - Vienna bread, Parker house rolls, cherry pie - and Louisiana Ring cakes. Louisiana Ring cake was a house specialty whose recipe, owner Emory Rice said, remained secret, known only in these years to Rice's alone. The Rice's door-to-door delivery trucks are gone - and the legend is that nobody these days has the recipe for Louisiana Ring cake, and this is the story of that legend.

Gil Sandler was born and raised in Baltimore -- a circumstance he considers fortunate and one he does not want you to forget. He attended public school (P.S. #59, Garrison Junior High, Baltimore City College, Class of 1941) and then served in the United States Navy.
