The value of the Annie B Brand - Annie B’s Sweets was preceded by Annie B’s Confections and Annie B’s Kitchen, a Cooking School. Annie B’s Confections began as a wedding cake bakery in Annie’s home in Washington Crossing, PA where, in 12 years, Annie made well over 1,000 custom designed wedding cakes. Annie B’s quickly became known as the premier wedding cake baker in the Delaware Valley, in both PA and NJ. During that 12 years, Annie sold strictly by word of mouth. She had no advertising, no business cards, no marketing plan, the cakes were not only beautiful, but they really sold on the strength of their taste and flavor. Using old fashioned recipes in a new-fashioned way. As Annie B’s expanded, I continued to build the business without advertising. It was built strictly on the strength of the simplicity, taste, flavor, quality of ingredients and the simple production processes that we used. And the fact that everything was Handmade, Homemade. People could taste the Magic. And they couldn’t find that anywhere else. Since 1995 when I began to expand the business and grow other lines, Annie B’s continued to brand itself as Handmade, Homemade with the same quality ingredients and the same simple processes. I developed a line of miniature pastries, individual desserts, mini cakes and cupcakes, cookies, and custom designed desserts. Back in the days of food catalogues we were in every major catalogue, gracing the covers of some with custom designed desserts. That became our advertising. Annie B’s’ was “discovered” in the early 2000’s, by QVC. We sold the mini pies on air for 5 years. They were a huge hit. We would make 5000-10000 boxes of 12 and sell out in 8 minutes! Wild ride. But we were sorely undercapitalized for that volume of business. We closed in 2010. THE STRENGTH OF THE BRAND IS IN THE LOOK AND THE TASTE OF THE PRODUCT. It was unequaled then and is now, more than ever, because of the degradation and homogenization of the food in this country, particularly the over-sweetened desserts. Handmade Homemade has taken on a new meaning when you consider that its rivals are broadly manufactured desserts or dessert ingredient producers. And each Annie B dessert is carefully curated to be a work of art in its own right. Our customers tell us that every day. A SECOND STRENGTH OF THE BRAND WAS THE HIGH ACCEPTANCE RATE OF THE PRODUCT SELECTION. Annie B’s Confections baked limited time products for 1600 Starbucks stores on the East Coast, still all by hand, for five years. We made over 1 million biscotti for them. We made cupcakes in NYC and Caramelita bars, a huge hit. All by hand. We made hand decorated Snowmen every Christmas for 3 years, 1.2 million of them! This speaks to the efficacy and simplicity of our recipes and processes. THE THIRD STRENGTH OF OUR BRAND IS THE BALANCE OF AND HIGH ACCEPTANCE OF OUR FLAVOR PALLET Annie B’s has created a pallet of tastes and flavors that is balanced and has a high acceptance rate, a high price point, and an instant audience. It is the strength of all four, the well tested recipes, the simple, easy to train procedures, the flavor profile, and that they are made by hand, that make them so irresistible and so profitable. When Annie B’s Sweets started, fifteen years later, I began with just the mini pies, and the individual desserts. Then added mini bundt cakes. Then slowly built a line of pastries: Turnovers, Croissant Twists, and SCONES. With the opportunity to be one on one with the customers every week, these new lines were co-created so to speak, with the customers. Nothing like going to the source. Annie B’s is designed and has always been designed by exactly what the customers tell us. We listen. We know exactly what the customer will buy.
The distinguished structure now home to Oldestone Steakhouse began its life in 1873–1874 as the New Hope Methodist Episcopal Church, later known as the New Hope United Methodist Church. Built on land purchased for $600, it stood between two other historic landmarks—the Logan Inn and the Crook home, now the Mansion Inn. Designed by architect James Bird and constructed with the stonework of mason Peter S. Naylor, the building was valued at $14,000 upon completion. Its Gothic sandstone façade, soaring ceilings, and intricate stained glass windows made it an architectural treasure from the day it opened. The church replaced an earlier wood-frame Methodist church on Mechanic Street, which had fallen into disrepair. While no photographs of the original structure are known to exist, its cemetery remains adjacent to the municipal parking lot. For 125 years, the building served as a spiritual center for New Hope’s Methodist community. Its congregation included both African Methodist Episcopal members in the early 1800s and white Methodist groups by the 1830s, reflecting the religious diversity and energy of the Second Great Awakening, a revival movement that swept America between 1795 and 1835. The final service in the building was held in 1999, after which the congregation relocated to Solebury. Following its closure as a church, the building entered a new chapter as Marsha Brown’s, a Creole-inspired fine dining restaurant that operated for nearly two decades. Known for its dramatic ambiance and refined cuisine, Marsha Brown’s became a dining destination in New Hope before closing during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the space was reimagined as Oldestone Steakhouse, a modern metropolitan steakhouse that honors the building’s architectural grandeur while offering USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, and craft cocktails. Many of the original features remain intact, including the stained glass windows, repurposed church pews, a striking 30-foot mural titled Redemption by Russian artist Valeriy Belenikin, chandeliers featured in John Wick 3, and a speakeasy-style jazz lounge on the third floor. New Hope itself has a rich history dating back 10,000 years, when the Lenni-Lenape Native Americans settled along the Delaware River. In the early 1700s, William Penn authorized land sales that led to the founding of the town. Originally known as Coryell’s Ferry, the area became a vital crossing point on Old York Road, the main route between Philadelphia and New York City. George Washington lodged in New Hope the night before his famous crossing of the Delaware River in 1776 and later ordered the ferry destroyed to prevent British pursuit. The town endured shelling during the Revolutionary War, and some buildings are still said to contain unexploded ordnance in their rafters. In the 19th century, the opening of the Delaware Canal in 1832 transformed New Hope into a thriving trade hub. Officially incorporated in 1837 after a devastating fire destroyed Benjamin Parry’s mills, the rebuilt town was seen as a “new hope” for the community, giving rise to its name. The 20th century brought a cultural renaissance, with New Hope becoming a haven for Pennsylvania Impressionist painters such as Daniel Garber and Edward Redfield, and the Bucks County Playhouse, opened in 1939, attracting theatrical luminaries including Helen Hayes, George C. Scott, and Robert Redford. In 2002, New Hope made history again by becoming the first borough in Pennsylvania to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Today, the building remains an integral part of New Hope’s living history. Preserved through the work of the New Hope Historical Society, it stands as a testament to the town’s evolution from a colonial ferry crossing to a vibrant cultural and culinary destination. Its transformation from church to celebrated restaurant captures both the spirit of preservation and the creativity that defines New Hope!
