The Best Cakes Around... Evervbody in Magnolia already knows it, for most have eaten Betty Brumfield's legendary cakes. These unique treats are made strictly from scratch, tasting homemade, just like grandmaw used to make. HOMESTYLE THROUGH AND THROUGH. If you like pound cake, as in really good pound cake, head toward Magnolia's Seasonal Shop Cakes and Treats, on Hwy. 48 just east of the railroad. The owner, Betty Brumfield, got her famous pound cake recipe from her mother-in-law, Faye Brumfield , who taught her how to cook when she married her son Phil.
