Description
Until the late 1890’s, Schifferstadt, Germany was home to Mayers and their bakeries. From 1905 through the mid-1960s, the baking legacy was continued in Chicago. Mayer's Bakery of Palos Verdes opened its doors on July 12, 1965, and has been delighting customers with the finest cakes and baked goods ever since. In the later 1960’s Gerry Mayer was getting more and more requests from customers for him to put designs on their cakes that matched their party napkins. Being a creative artist Gerry was able to copy the design by eye onto cakes with icing but he instinctively knew there had to be a better, quicker, more profitable way. A way that would make his life easier….
So he began to experiment and the result was the first Kopykake Opaque Projector. Now, whenever a customer gave him a design, he would put it in the projector, project the image enlarged onto the cake and outline it in a fraction of the time it used to take him. He could now complete more cakes in a day and become more profitable. Soon all the local bakeries heard of Gerry’s invention and wanted one; so he began manufacturing them in his garage after the bakery had closed for the day. As word spread, Gerry became busier and busier and that’s how Kopykake began.
Since those early days Gerry has shown his inventiveness many times. Kopykake quickly established itself as a leader in the bakery supply industry and became renowned for its creative innovations.
