Cherith S.
Business Owner
My name is Cherith Spicer and I started Namesake Cheesecake to honor my dear family friend, Cherith Lorraine, for whom I am named after.
Cherith Lorraine was a wife, mother, grandmother, friend and hostess. Along with her husband, John Rickey, she co-owned several Bay Area restaurants, including Rick’s Swiss Chalet, Dinah’s Shack and Rickey’s Hyatt House in Palo Alto. Over the years she perfected a cheesecake recipe that was shared by friends, family and patrons of her restaurants. She gave me the recipe when I promised that I would create a company with that recipe. And so I started Namesake Cheesecake to continue the tradition of excellent cheesecake for good times together, whether it’s a party at home, a dinner out, or a catered event.
