Richard Groman Jr., of the family behind Ezra D. Groman Bakeries, will visit Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts, 427 N. New St., at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 17, 2026, to share more on his family\u2019s business and tour the \u201cBaked into Bethlehem\u201d exhibition on site. Shown above is a 1967 photo of Richard Groman Sr. “with the large cake he made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of North and South Bethlehem merging into one city,” according to Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites.<\/p>\n

That cost includes admission to the Kemerer Museum and nearby Moravian museum, 66 W. Church St., both with hours of 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n

Event host HBMS also said it’s the exclusive holiday source to buy the Gromans\u2019 original-recipe sugar cookies, which will be available Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Gromans’s beloved company, sold decades ago, traces its origins to the 1920s and a Moravian mint recipe that took off.<\/p>\n

‘A cornerstone of community life’<\/p>\n

It later expanded to offer other sweets such as tortes and cakes, for example, often with Richard Groman Sr.\u2019s signature bowtie decoration added.<\/p>\n

Gromans’s expanded to nine locations and 100 employees, according to Lehigh Valley Style magazine.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the beehive ovens of early Moravian Bethlehem to the custom-crafted wedding and birthday cakes of the beloved Groman\u2019s bakery, the craft has long been woven into the city\u2019s history and identity.”<\/p>\n
