The first Bakewell pudding was created during the 19th century, and was the result of a misunderstanding between the mistress of the rutlands Arms inn, Mrs Greaves, and her cook.

Dinner over, the guests sent for Mrs Greaves and complimented her upon her delicious pudding. Mrs Greaves thought it odd that her tart should be called a pudding and she questioned the cook who confessed what she had done.
