Their cousins were part of the prominent Northwest families of Rosellini and Gasparetti, both restaurateurs, who had arrived in the Northwest earlier and paved the way. In 1923, the Borracchinis moved to Seattle and started baking bread in the basement of their home in Rainier Valley, then Seattle's "Little Italy" neighborhood. The couple first settled in Tacoma, working in a family-owned restaurant. Mario and Maria Borracchini moved from the region of Tuscany, Italy, to the Pacific Northwest in 1921. When weddings and other celebrations are banned in 2020 because of the pandemic, the request for custom cakes evaporates and Borracchini's closes permanently on March 20, 2021, after nearly 100 years in business.
The Rainier Valley business, founded in 1922 by Italian immigrants Mario and Maria Borracchini, is famous for its custom cakes, friendly customer service, and pink cake box stamped with the message "Cakes decorated while you wait." Located for more than 80 years at 2307 Rainier Avenue S, Borracchini's will be no match for COVID-19. On Saturday, August 21, 1993, Borracchini's Bakery & Mediterranean Market in Seattle bakes, decorates, and sells a record 125 wedding cakes, enough, owner Remo Borracchini estimates, to serve 13,780 wedding guests.
