History
Established in 1993.
Baxter's Gourmet Catering has been in business since May 1993 when we opened a small store called Baxter's Beall Street Deli at 300 Beall St. Cumberland, Maryland. From that storefront we served luncheons, desserts and offered catering. Eventually the catering took over and we put a fully licensed & approved (Health Dept License #275) commercial kitchen in our home in 1998.
We have been cooking and baking ever since. We make all our own sauces, marinades and roast our own meats. We are famous for our homemade blackening spice. We also make all of our own desserts with all the best & freshest ingredients.
We cater off premise luncheons for as few as 10 and weddings for as many as 350. If you are having an event please call or email us we can tailor a menu to suit your needs!
Meet the Business Owner: Susan B.
I am the baker! I found a love for baking early on and I began to make specialty cakes, then desserts for friends and family. Soon I got into working with chocolate and making truffles and candies. After graduating with a B.S in business, I started working with a local hotel providing desserts for some of their events and truffles for their turn down service. There I met my husband, who is the chef and once we got married a business was born!
