Tip: Nicknamed the Queen City, Charlotte, North Carolina, was named in honor of Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III of England. A dessert called a "charlotte," which had its beginnings around the turn of the 17th century, was a British invention, served hot and probably also named after Queen Charlotte. But as adaptations were made, famed French chef Antonin Careme made the first cold charlotte (charlotte russe), which consisted of a mold lined with cake and filled with a custard.
