Who We Are
The Origin of Legacy Cheesecakes
For decades, a chorus of friends and family has whispered the same refrain: "You should share these cheesecakes with the world." Today, Legacy Cheesecakes stands as the delicious answer to those persistent encouragements.
Our story began in 1985, just before wedding bells would ring. Mrs. Maxwell Cumbia, our thoughtful wedding director, organized a bridal shower where each guest brought both a gift and a cherished recipe. Mrs. Cumbia herself contributed what would become our signature creation—a wonderful cheesecake recipe she had discovered in a community cookbook published by First Baptist Church of Richmond, Virginia. This treasured recipe originated from Mrs. T.F. Adams, wife of Pastor Theodore Adams.
This moment of sharing became the inspiration behind our name: Legacy Cheesecakes. Our original flavor, fittingly named "The Legacy," honors this beginning. From this single cherished recipe, our collection has blossomed into a magnificent palette of over 70 distinct flavors, each telling its own sweet story.
If you're yearning for a cheesecake experience that transcends the ordinary, we invite you to embark on a culinary adventure with us. Each bite promises to tantalize your taste buds, creating memories that linger long after the last crumb disappears—and leaving you eagerly anticipating your next delectable discovery.
From our family tradition to your table... Legacy Cheesecakes: Where Every Slice Tells a Story.
