Bakewell Cream
Bakewell Cream is a variety of baking powder developed by Bangor, Maine chemist Byron H. Smith in response to a shortage of cream of tartar in the U.S. during World War II. It is sold throughout the U.S., but is most popular in the state of Maine.[1][2]
The current manufacturer, the New England Cupboard, is the successor to Byron Smith's original company. Their Bakewell-related products include the original baking powder in several varieties and a biscuit mix, all sold through several channels under the "Bakewell Cream" label. All varieties include acid sodium pyrophosphate, which was Byron Smith's original unique ingredient; those sold as "baking powder" also include sodium bicarbonate.[3]
