After a long career in politics, Beryl Hall escaped Capitol Hill and opened B. Hall a boutique bakery located in Washington, DC with a focus on making Whoopie Pies that are driving people mad with delight. People just LOVE them!
“We started with five flavors and are now up to 25 seasonal flavors. We
support as many local vendors as possible, and use only the best
ingredients, many organic, to make our pies rich and delicious. Our
upcoming Spring assortment features Strawberries and Cream, Chocolate
Raspberry, Coconut, French Lemon and Hummingbird. We have shipped our
Whoopies all across the country and have loyal customers from Maine to
California.”
Its been three years now and its just starting to
take off. Daily Candy did it’s magic with a featured story and they were
off and running! B. Hall received all 5-star ratings on The Knot (a
huge wedding website) earning them the BEST OF WEDDINGS 2012 award, and
over the years they have been featured in Food and Wine magazine, the
Baltimore Sun, Washington Post Express, and have been selected for the
USA TODAY Mother’s Day Gift Guide. Not bad.
So here is the purpose of this post. We have a very talented lady who needs a little boost to see her dream climb the next level. So if you are a “play-it-forward” kind of person and have the ability to help, read on:
Beryl Hall: “We still rent kitchen space but must buy our own equipment and ask your help to grow. I desperately need a new oven and another fridge and want to expand my marketing beyond the wedding community. One of my clients and his husband – whose wedding I catered – suggested I try Kickstarter to help fund our expansion. Our customers love us and we ask your help to expand so we can make more people smile with our Whoopie Pies.”
A page has been created on Kickstarter so she could raise the money and she is so close! She needs to raise the money before March 15 because the sale for the oven she needs closes that day. If you love Whoopie Pies and helping a dream come true…a little donation would mean so much to Beryl.
About B.Hall Whoppie Pies
Beryl Hall’s background is politics and interior design, but good food and entertaining have been a part of her life. Her mother was a fabulous cook and there was always something wonderful coming out of the family kitchen. Their house was the place people gathered.
Beryl had a sweet tooth, and was intrigued when all sorts of cupcake places popped up around town. She found the offerings were fabulous, but too big for one person. If only she could have just a little taste of something sweet and delicious to satisfy her. An article in the New York Times Food section about Whoopie Pies was a revelation. Here was a little cupcake in a sandwich form that she could bake up into any size or flavor she wanted. B. Hall’s first Whoopie Pie came out of the oven within hours.
Since then, she and her staff have tested many, many recipes and baked thousands of Whoopie Pies. Her little Whoopies have traveled from Maine to California. They have been the centerpiece of birthday parties and baby showers, as well as office meetings. They have been sent as client thank you gifts and Father’s Day presents. But best of all, they make people smile.
