This pudding and cake combination was created by French chef Monsieur Augustine Francois Anezin in 1856 at Boston's Parker House Hotel.

Two layers of sponge cake are either filled with vanilla-flavored custard or creme patisserie, according to the decadent cake. A cherry is usually topped with a chocolate glaze, such as a ganache or occasionally powdered sugar and a cherry.

In 1996, Massachusetts introduced the Boston Cream Pie as their official dessert.
