We are so excited to introduce our next Harlemite, bevy smith, Harlem native, author, actress, radio and television personality, and host of In Bed with Bevy!

We ran into Bevy in the neighborhood while she was on her way to pick up supplies for her sister Stephanie’s business, Stephanie Smith Long, and naturally, we had to invite her over to make an ice cream flavor with us!

Miss Lolly was Bevy and Stephanie’s mother and the inspiration behind Miss Lolly’s Kitchen. Every Sunday, she would make a huge family meal complete with two meats, plenty of sides, and her homemade cakes and pies. One of Bevy’s favorites was her butter cake, served just the way Miss Lolly loved it, with a dollop of butter pecan ice cream on top. 🍰🍦

So we brought the two together and created Miss Lolly’s Butter Cake, our take on a family tradition and a sweet memory of Miss Lolly.

A portion of the sales from Miss Lolly’s Butter Cake will go back to The Brotherhood Sister Sol, an organization doing incredible work with young people right here in Harlem.

Thank you, Bevy, for sharing Miss Lolly’s story and this special family memory with us ❤️ And thank you to The Best Of Harlem for documenting the conversation!

Miss Lolly’s Butter Cake is available at all Harlem stores.
