Bear Creek, NC - A family recipe, along with a dedicated family are the ingredients that make for a successful business in Bear Creek, North Carolina.

Berta Scott the founder of Southern Supreme realized her dream of operating her business after she delivered fruitcakes to her customers at the beauty salon.  "They always bragged on my cakes, so much so, that one day I told em I was gonna stop doing hair and start selling my fruitcake."

In 1984, that is exactly what she did.  Soon they began taking the baked goods to craft fairs like the 'Holiday Market' at the Greensboro Coliseum.  They then began selling the baked goods all over the world.

While the fruitcake may be their signature recipe, they also bake up cookies, nuts, toffee, jams and so much more, all made by hand.

The property also serves as a destination.  A recent open house welcomed over 5,000 people to shop and take a tour through the kitchen where the goods are made.
