Danish immigrant George Neldam opened the bakery in its original version just before the Great Depression began, but the family-run business has stood the test of time and developed a steady following for the sweets.

“Butter cake is the best in the world,” said Johnny Butler, 83. Tell The Chronicle During the bakery’s 75th anniversary party in 2004. Butler said she grew up several blocks away and became a regular at Neldam when it first opened. “You can taste the butter in every bite. I’ve been eating it since I was just [a] little girl. If all that butter was really bad for you, I’d be dead now.”

When Neldam’s Bakery closed in 2010, three former employees, including Luna, decided to take the lead, maintaining familiar recipes and renaming the bakery A Taste of Denmark. Over the years, the bakery has made thousands of wedding and birthday cakes, according to its website, and dozens of customers have lamented the loss.

“Taste of Denmark is closing today and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel like crying,” Wrote One Twitter user.
