Leidigs was an institution in 1960's Ellicott City, Especially on Sundays. You had to just go there and get in line and wait for your number to be called. . This was the first place I ever saw a "Take a Number" machine.
If your were getting married, and didn't order your wedding cake from Leidigs, you must have been born out of state. The display windows were full of mock wedding cakes from Spring to Autumn. In Winter, the display would change to gingerbread houses, and they were made in the old European style, with candies and gumdrops glued on with frosting. They were wymsical, magical and smelled fantastic.
Of course, being a bakery, they also had an immense variety of cakes, pies, breads & donuts. Bavarian creme, yellow custard, honey dipped, chocolate , jelly filled and so many others.
