BAY SHORE, N.Y. -- Charles Edward Entenmann, who helped turn his family's New York-based bakery into a national brand, died in Florida at age 92.
Entenmann died Feb. 24 in Hialeah, his son, Charles William Entenmann, told Newsday.

The new generation of Entenmanns began delivering to supermarkets and pioneered the use of “see-through” cake boxes to lure shoppers.

I used to crush their crumb cakes.
RIP
To this day i could remember walking into my grandmothers house and she always had a box of their chocolate donuts in the kitchen.
Buttermilk doughnuts for me. I’d get a box right now and hold a memorial service, but we’re trying to watch the sweets.
Mine was back as a teen when I was playing basketball for hours.
I haven’t had a sweet in a while.
Love their cinnamon crumble coffee cake.
Molasses cookies were the best.

RIP. My favorite donuts! I’ll buy a box this week. Wish they still made the devils food chocolate donuts.
Gonna have to say the usual here: I grew up on Long Island a few miles from their Bay Shore factory and I have to say that what you get in any Entenmanns box today ain’t what you got way back when.
Me miss Charles!
Ain’t that the truth!
More of a Tasty cake fan here but bless his soul. He was very generous to several charities.
He might have expanded Entenmann’s but Entenmanns has expanded me.
They always come in 3’s. Little Debbie or Orville Spunkmeyer? Any bets?
I would buy them in a pinch. Nothing to write home about.
Their banana cake was the best.
Oh, God. That stuff is awful.
Never ate any of their stuff. Went to my local grocery store yesterday, all they had was Entenmann’s. They had no Hostess products, no Little Debbie products, nothing else. So I left with nothing.
My friends Dad worked for them at the Bayshore location. When Entenmann’s moved to Florida the quality went down a bit due to the water there. You’re right it’s even worse now since they sold out and just like as with Hostess cakes the quality took a nosedive.
