Shane Confectionery - Historic Christoper Ludwick Gingerbread

This fragrant gingerbread cookie is hand-pressed into replicas of Revolutionary War baker Christopher Ludwick's original cookie board, held by the Museum of the American Revolution in Old City, Philadelphia. Slightly spicy, molasses-forward with delicate interior, this glazed gingerbread cookie is a favorite among staff & visitors alike.

This cookie board has two moulds: The naturalistic "Tulip," and the "Maiden." 

In 1754, German-born Christopher Ludwick arrived in Philadelphia and opened a successful bakery at Letitia Court, where he built a reputation as an American patriot and advocate for his fellow immigrant countrymen. He made invaluable contributions to American Independence during the Revolutionary War, and was appointed by General Washington as Superintendent of Bakers. 250 years later, on the same Old City block where Ludwick got his start, Shane Confectionery is still baking these traditional gingerbread cookies in his honor.
