Entenmann's is a
bakery brand now owned by
Canadian food conglomerate
George Weston Bakeries. In markets west of the Mississippi, it is distributed under license by the US operation of
Mexican food corporation
Grupo Bimbo. It was started by a German immigrant in
Brooklyn in
1898, shortly thereafter establishing headquarters in
Bay Shore, New York on
Long Island. Their cakes and snacks were formerly distributed only in the
Tri-State Region but are now distributed in many grocery and
convenience store locations in the United States.
In Popular Culture
Entenmanns showed up in the sitcom
Seinfeld when a character,
Elaine Benes, replaced an antique collectible cake from the 1937 wedding of
King Edward VIII that she had eaten with an Entenmann's cake.
Entenmann's cookies were also mentioned in an act of comedian, Dane Cook, where he recalled eating them in a grocery aisle while listening to an overheard argument.
