In 1979, two of my oldest and dearest friends asked me to help them come up with an idea for a baking business they wanted to start and Mrs. Beasley’s was born. I created a fictitious character who was loosely modeled after my friends’ grandmother. The name came from a popular show at the time, “Family Affair.” Mrs. Beasley was the name of the favorite doll of the little girl character on the show. I recently came across the original pen and ink drawing for the logo. It’s wild to think that I drew this 35 years ago.
