Newport Historical Society’s Stamp Act Protest 2015

On the afternoon of August 29, 2015, from 1pm-4:30pm, Newport, Rhode Island’s rich colonial history came to life during the Newport Historical Society’s Stamp Act Protest. This large-scale reenactment takes place in downtown Newport to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Stamp Act Riots, one of the first events that sparked the American Revolution.

The event included an upper class lady’s tea  

In this reenactment, I portrayed a servant, Duchess Quamino and served my famous Plum cake 

Duchess Quamino, who worked in the Channing household on School Street.  Quamino lived several years in a religious Anglo-American family, was married in one of Newport's Congregational Churches, and had married a freed slave who became an ardent Christian; his death aboard a privateer's ship during the American Revolution stopped him from undertaking an evangelical mission to Africa. 

Charity ‘Duchess’ Quamino, established a catering business and became known as the best pastry chef in Newport. Her frosted plum cakes was well known. 

I was asked for the recipe I used for the Plum Cake.
