A Blog about the Chambersburg area of Trenton NJ. The Burg we all loved and miss. If you were from the Burg I hope many of the pictures and lists and comments under them from good folks bring back some nice memories. Villa Park, Franklin Park, South Trenton, and nearby Hamilton also mentioned. Use the search box atop the blog to find schools,churches,streets,stores,bars etc that you remember. Over 4000 posts and 3000 pics. Enjoy:)

Tasty Kakes
Tasty Kakes Part of growing up in the Burg area in my day was Tasty Kakes. First getting them from the corner store, then having them in our lunchbox or bag. Still later on having them with a coffee at work:)
US Navy ... air station Agana Guam. Shipment of TastyKakes arrive at the PK frozen. My buddy and I go nuts, and buy a large box/small case each and a quart of milk. Under a palm tree happy idiots with milk dribbling down our chins and people wondering what the big deal was since they had never seen a T-Cake. Had lunch with the guy over Christmas. We lost touch and turns out he got spit on when he got out and left ... went right back to Australia where we also served at an RAAF base. In his 60's he is competing in the Mr. Australia competition.
All the good things wrapped up in one.
ReplyDeleteMack, loved most of them the cupcakes, pies, tandy cakes and even sometimes the jelly krimpets. We can get some down here but not the pies.
