OUR STORY

Russell’s is a family-owned business that opened in 2006 in St. Louis, MO. In the last 15+ years of business, Russell’s has become the local destination for homestyle cooking and baking, but one thing on the menu has been a standout favorite from the beginning: our Gooey Butter. Ours is different from the traditional St. Louis staple. Russell’s Gooey Butter combines the classic rich and gooey cream cheese-based filling with our addition of a buttery, salted shortbread crust. The crust adds texture and provides a balance of salty and sweet to make our gooey butter so special. Made with care by our talented team of bakers, it’s safe to say that we’ve perfected St. Louis’ iconic dessert - it’s Gooey Butter, but better.

Gooey Butter’s Historic Roots

Our signature Gooey Butter differs from the traditional St. Louis staple. Gooey butter cake is said to have originated in the 1930s from a ‘happy accident’ when a St. Louis baker added too much butter to a coffee cake recipe. The ‘accident’ cakes sold so well, other local bakers picked up on the recipe, and the rest is Gooey Butter history.
