Maud Borup turns tradition into modern-day confections
Candy Industry Publisher Doug Peckenpaugh visited Minneapolis-based Maud Borup and spoke with its president/owner and communications and sustainability director.
In 1907, Maud Borup began to make candy in her St. Paul, MN home. She used original recipes, high-quality ingredients, and copper kettles, and soon, word of her concoctions spread—even the Queen of England was one of her customers.
Christine Lantinen took over the reigns in 2005, and the company continues to innovate, debuting its Cotton Candy Layer cake this past February, as well as its Grillable Desserts and a Make Your Own Mini S'mores Kit in April. Candy Industry Publisher Doug Peckenpaugh stopped by the company’s Minneapolis-area facility to explore their production and learn more about their innovative operation.
