History
Established in 1974.
On Valentine’s Day 1974 I had the idea to create edible valentines. I baked and decorated heart-shaped sugar cookies, arranged them on trays lined with purple satin, and trotted them off to four art galleries and one food shop called Baby Watson Cheesecake. The cookies were a hit and the next day the food shop called wanting more. Through time and experimentation I created my «Baby Cakes» and went into the baking business. After three years of selling through Baby Watson, the next step was to market my pastries myself; so I opened my own store in Inman Square Cambridge. Since those early years, Rosie’s has grown larger and more established, what started as a what started as a whim in Harvard Square has blossomed into three locations in Cambridge, Chestnut Hill and South Station. I have always taken my chocolate very seriously, a quality that has served me well over the years and one that I know will continue to do so in the years to come.

Business Owner
I can’t say for sure that i came out of the womb on a diet but it certainly wasn’t long afterward that I was put on one. As far back as I can remember, it was a family ritual to climb on the scale each morning; no one would have guessed that I would end up a baker. My family lived in an apartment in the middle of Manhattan and though my mother was anything but domestic she sometimes, as a special treat, baked brownies. Despite being the only thing she did bake those brownies were the stuff of my dreams from early childhood on. In my college years I honed my cooking and diet philosophy to be healthy but save room for a rewarding sweet. I still get a buzz, when I bite into a spectacular desert, and lust is the only word that accurately describes my relationship with chocolate. With a good number of my childhood memories coated in chocolate, it seems becoming a baker may have been fate.
