About Us
In 1991 Jan Matthews-Hodges won her first ribbon at the North Carolina State Fair in the true pound cake category. Over the years she continued to enter when she could, usually bringing home a ribbon and always trying new methods to create the perfect pound cake.

Then, in 2003, Jan knew that she had the perfect combination of butter, sugar, flour, and eggs, the only ingredients in a true pound cake.  And she did.

She brought home the Blue Ribbon and Best of Show. Not only was her cake the best pound cake in the true pound cake category, it was the best cake at the State Fair!

Family and friends encouraged her to share her talent with others by opening her own pound cake bakery. There, at the Pound Cake Company in Benson, North Carolina, she bakes her Blue Ribbon Pound Cakes in many sizes and shapes, but never varying from the winning recipe. 
She can even make a wedding cake for you.
