Debbie Does Doberge

Founded in New Orleans by Charlotte McGehee and Charles Mary IV, Debbie Does Doberge is turning out stellar versions of Doberge (pronounced DO-bash), a traditional New Orleans birthday cake made with seven layers of cake and six layers of pudding, all topped with a poured fondant icing. It was created back in the 1930s by a local baker named Beulah Ledner, who based it on a lightened-up version of a Hungarian cake called dobos torta.

In 2016, Debbie Does Doberge opened its first restaurant, Bakery Bar, in the heart of New Orleans, where they’re whipping up a wide variety of Doberge cakes in flavors including lemon, chocolate, and rainbow and shipping them nationwide!
