Last year, as Covid began beating us up, folks loved to drive by Blacker‘s Bakeshop (543 Commonwealth Ave in Newton) on a Thursday and inhale… As my mother used to always say, “what a mechiyah! [how fabulous].“ Even in the midst of the pandemic, Blacker‘s Bakeshop kept making the best challah in town, not to mention the cookies and the kichel and the rugelach and the bubka – or is it bubke? On TBA NOW! We’re speaking with the people that make it all happen: Rich, Karen, and Rebecca Blacker. The Blackers are a 3 generation TBA family and we are proud to call them our own.
