| - I'm a big fan of Baker Wee! BW is local, easy to access, and open extended hours compared to most independent bakers.
Their bar desserts (lemon bars & brownies) are the best in Phoenix. Their Lemon bars have a fantastic tart and sweet contrast while their brownies are rich enough for a chocolate snob. BW produces individual sized treats in less common but still favorites, like pineapple upside down cake and carrot cake, or sometimes Key Lime Bars. The baker recently introduced a new treat she calls Dream Cake, which is amazing. The Dream Cake is similar to a Hostess Ding Dong, only much better!
My favorite "cake" is made by Baker Wee, the Turtle Chocolate Muffin. It manages to pack an incredible chocolate fudge punch without being gooey or becoming chocolate glue-paste in the roof of my mouth.
When I have overnight guests, I always try to get t BW to purchase some pecan rolls or cinnamon rolls. Their breakfast rolls are oversized for an individual portion, but when shared by 2-3 people they make a wonderful addition. Unfortunately, I don't recommend their donuts.
I'm not a fan of their "fancy" cakes, I find that they just don't taste as good as the individual portions. My husband order my birthday cake this past year, and it was a tiny bit disappointing. However, in 2009, my friend ordered a gluten free and sugar free cake from Baker Wee which turned out better than I expected.
The kids that work for the Baker (Lori?) are nice, but if you place a special order, double check on it. They want you to be happy, but they aren't perfect, and they definitely don't care as much as you do about your special event/order.
