The Butterscotch Girl is an idea born out of bored-housewife-syndrome, with a love for cooking, without spending too much money. Jaime, a future law school student with some time off, and her husband Caleb, a physicist-trained software engineer in Silicon Valley, started TBG as a fun summer project. She cooks, he eats (and then cleans. Nothing is for free!). The Butterscotch Girl offers a very simple product: butterscotch pudding. Made with only a few natural, preservative-free ingredients, it’s prepared and packaged with love in a (health department licensed) local kitchen. She also offers an exotic Orange-Cardamom butterscotch pudding, inspired by one of her favorite chefs, Donia Bijan (author of Maman’s Homesick Pie), and the Chocolate Mocha Experience, a decadent chocolate pudding. Right now, with the convoluted San Francisco and Santa Clara County permit regulations, The Butterscotch Girl is staying in San Mateo County. Maybe when she gets mutant powers that enlarges her brain activity to understand all of it, she’ll tackle that mess. Or, you know, if enough people in SF want her to come that way. She understands how far a 20 minute drive is down to the Bay Area.
