Or better yet go to their discount store thought they went out of business quite awhile ago--but hoping not. Mon Oct 18 19:17:01 -0700 2004 0 sandy-p 1 638187 I think you mean Dressler's. This calls up a vague image from my distant childhood - A whipped cream cake thawing on the counter. I haven't seen one for a long time. I Wed Oct 20 11:53:04 -0700 2004 638134 0 Cathleen 2 638238 The name was Dressel's. They were in business for 75 years making frozen fudge whipped cream cakes at 67th and ashland. They were bought by a french company, which later dumped them. The factory was auctioned off a couple of years ago.

Thu Oct 21 19:04:00 -0700 2004 638238 0 sandy 2 638243 Actually, it was Dressel's. For 75 years they made frozen fudge whip cream cakes at 67th and ashland. The factory was auctioned off several years ago. The cakes were a big treat when I was a kid. I remember the red logo with the name written in a script font.

I WOUDL LIKE TO KNWO IF THEY HAVE TH ERECIPE AND WOULD BE WILLING TO SELL IT. wHAT YEAR WAS DRESSELS BOUGHT OUT? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Wed Oct 05 11:21:04 -0700 2005 638243 0 BRIAN 4 648878 Have you had any luck with Dressels? I have been searching for them for years, this is the first thing I have found that I think is accurate. My Dad was a native of Chicago, always wanted the Dressels whipped cream cake on his birthday. We were able to find them in the grocery store in Florida, but last one I bought was in the late 80's. What a shame they are no longer around. Tue Dec 20 13:09:14 -0800 2005 647025 0 Kelly 5 4141261 I, too, had my last piece of Dressel cake in the 1980s. They used to sell them at the Tops grocery store in East Aurora, NY. My friend's mom always bought them. So glad to find this discussion and sad (but not surprised - I've been looking for them for years), too.

Thank you and Thank you Aunt :>) Tue Nov 03 16:04:33 -0800 2009 4168464 1121497 1drsslrfan 1 4520171 I've been googling "Dressel's" for the longest time, and have seen the earlier posts, and have been looking for a recipe that I can recreate the Dressel's Chocolate Whipcream Cake. I grew up with it, and recently my daughters and I have been watching some home videos from the late 80's to early (1992ish) 90's and for all the birthday's we still have the Dressel's cake on the table. I'm dying, those videos made me nuts. There's got to be someone out the that has experimented. Please share!!! Thu Mar 19 14:08:59 -0700 2009 638134 275784 karenlg91783 2 4651353 I love seeing all of these recent posts for Dressel's cakes!! The bakery was started by my family well before I was born, but went out of business when I was a kid. My dad, mom, grandpa, uncles, great uncles..etc... all worked there and I was very proud of it growing up. Every now and then when I meet a fellow Chicagoan I get asked if I'm any relation to the bakery and my family would love to know that the bakery is still remembered! (sorry i don't have any recipes - wish i did!!) Sun May 03 19:48:30 -0700 2009 4520171 289081 MDressel 1 4652095 Try Wolf's Bakery around 9500 S. Kedzie! Enjoy! Mon May 04 07:04:22 -0700 2009 638134 289218 Beverly Hills 1 4667173 Gosh how I remember Dressel's fudge cakes. Every time we returned to Chicago (after moving to Florida in 1956) a Dressel's cake was always part of the reunion. Sorry to hear that this Chicago icon was tanked by some loser French concern. If anyone has the recipe, I would love to have it. No place better to eat than The Windy City. Fri May 08 14:58:52 -0700 2009 638134 291200 rlovesky
