Bakewell is a small market town in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, deriving its name from ‘Beadeca’s Well’.[1] It is the only town included in the Peak District National Park, and is well known for the local confection Bakewell Pudding (often mistaken for the Bakewell Tart). It is located on the River Wye, about thirteen miles (21 km) southwest of Sheffield, 31 miles (50 km) southeast of Manchester, and 30 miles (48 km) north of the county town of Derby; nearby towns include Chesterfield to the east and Buxton to the west northwest. According to the 2001 Census the civil parish of Bakewell had a population of 3,979. The town is close to the tourist attractions of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall.
The Bakewell Pudding is a jam pastry with an egg and ground almond enriched filling. Not to be confused with Bakewell Tart which is a completely different confection, made with shortcrust pastry, an almond topping and a sponge and jam filling; Mr Kipling also made Cherry Bakewells, often known as Bakewell Tarts too. The origins of the Pudding are not clear, however the generally accepted story is that it was first made by accident in 1820 when the landlady of the White Horse Inn (now called the Rutland Arms) left instructions for her cook to make a jam tart with an egg and almond paste pastry base. The cook, instead of stirring the eggs and almond paste mixture into the pastry, spread it on top of the jam.[6] When cooked the jam rose through the paste. The result was successful enough for it to become a popular dish at the inn, and commercial variations, usually with icing sugar on top, have spread the name.[7]
Two shops in Bakewell, “Bloomers Old and Only Original”, and “The Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop”, offer what they both claim is the original recipe pastry – “The Bakewell Pudding Factory, Parlour and Shop” also sells a “Bakewell Pudding” and an icing coated “Bakewell Tart”, which is baked in a shortcrust pastry base. The Bakewell Tart & Coffee Shop also sells Bakewell Tarts, which are completely different from the puddings, both in flavour and appearance.[8][9]
