Baker's Chocolate
Baker's Chocolate began as a small partnership and eventually evolved into the first Baker's Chocolate product in 1780. When it was first introduced in the pre-revolutionary days, you might be surprised to know that it was not used for baking. Instead, people often purchased the "hard cakes," and scraped the chocolate into boiled water to make a sweetened chocolate drink. Since then, Baker's Chocolate has continued to grow in popularity, becoming a household name as the 20th Century approached.
Over 125 years after her first appearance in Baker's Chocolate advertising, each square of Baker's Unsweetened and Semi-Sweet Chocolate carries the image of La Belle Chocolatiere, taken from a portrait of Anna Baltauf serving chocolate to Prince Dietrichstein when they first met. She later went on to marry the prince and became Princess Dietrichstein. Her silhouette graces each box and container of Baker's Chocolate products. The original portrait of Princess Dietrichstein still hangs at the Dresden Gallery in Germany, where it is one of the museum’s chief attractions. A replica of the pastel painting also hangs in the former Administration Building of Walter Baker & Company in Dorchester, Mass.

Did You Know?
Bittersweet Chocolate
In sufficient amounts, the theobromine found in chocolate is toxic to animals such as horses, dogs, parrots, voles, and cats. The toxicity is the result of the animal being unable to effectively metabolize the theobromine, which can remain in the bloodstream for up to 20 hours. The result can be epileptic seizures, heart attacks, internal bleeding, and eventually death. Medical treatment involves inducing vomiting within two hours of ingestion, or contacting a veterinarian.
