B’s Cheesecakes, a Clarksville Delight
September 20, 2021
Clarksville, TN – Even if you have not yet tried B’s Cheesecakes, you’ve almost certainly heard about the amazing dessert classics that are being produced at the little shop tucked away on Riverside Drive.
Bonita Lacey is the mastermind/talent behind the shop’s success, but since her humble beginnings, B’s has truly become a family business.
“Well, it all started with the Downtown Market about ten years ago, that’s when we named it,” Lacey said. “We did that for about 3-1/2 years before moving to our current location. My husband Jim and I both worked in manufacturing. I did that for twenty-eight years, at Quebecor Printing and then at Hendrickson, and at some point, I started selling cheesecakes on the side.”
Three mini cheesecakes from B’s Cheesecakes: Caramel Coconut Cookie with Samoa on top, Triple Chocolate in the back, and Tollhouse Chocolate with Peanut Caramel.
