Drake’s Devil Dogs Releases Christmas Mint Crème

Drake’s Devil Dogs® are an original. Two classic, fun-shaped Devils Food cakes, sandwiched around an abundance of rich, Drake’s vanilla-flavored Crème, first introduced in 1926. This Christmas season, Drake’s Devil Dogs lovers will get an early Christmas present.
“We asked Devil Dogs fans to create their own Devil Dogs and Mint Creme was the top flavor suggestion,” said Chip Stenberg, Drake’s associate brand manager. “Drake’s Christmas Mint Creme Devil Dogs will be available for a limited time, from mid-October through Christmas.”

Drake’s Christmas Mint Creme Devil Dogs will be available in supermarkets, supercenters, value retailers and convenience stores throughout the Eastern U.S.

As with all Drake’s cakes, Christmas Mint Creme Devil Dogs are certified kosher by the Orthodox Union. Consumers can look for the circled-U symbol (hechsher) on the cartons.

Drake’s founder, Newman E. Drake, established the brand in 1896, selling sliced pound cake in New York, New York. Joined by his brother Charles, Newman opened another bakery in Brooklyn’s bustling Wallabout Market, close to the source of ingredients. The Bakery was incorporated as the Drake Brothers Company. Drake’s cakes were originally sold as large cakes that were cut to order by grocers. To ensure that shoppers bought genuine Drake’s Cakes, they were baked with paper pan liner that was perforated with the Drake’s brand name. Drake’s Devil Dogs cakes first made the scene in 1926. Two delicious devils food cakes with creme filling soon became a popular snack. Today, Devil Dogs® are an icon of the Drake’s brand.

The company also manufactures Funny Bones® cakes, devils food cakes filled with peanut butter crème and dipped in chocolate, which have been tickling the fancies of consumers since 1961, streusel-topped coffee cakes, fruit pies, chocolate-dipped doughnuts, and glazed breakfast pastries.

Now a part of the McKee Foods family bakery, Drake’s cakes are high-quality products that are baked fresh and delivered directly to neighborhood stores throughout the eastern U.S. More information and a consumer locator are available at drakescake.com.
