| - If you ask any Pittsburgher a good topic to debate upon you'll hear probably these three things: Best Fish Sandwich, Best Pizza Joint, Best Bakery. Okay, Pittsburghers will debate and defend the best of anything, but right now we're here to talk baked goods. Sugary, sticky, I should-not-have-eaten-the-whole-damn-thing sweets.
Recently attended a Yelp Elite event at Grandview and was pleasantly delighted with what I experienced. Walking in you have the vintage hometown bakery feel. Grandview is a full service bakery with cookies, cakes, donuts, cannoli, quick breads, etc. They also have a very large selection of baking and candy making supplies. Difficult to find anymore.
During the event we were instructed by their talented and passionate staff on how to make a icing rosettes and the proper (and easy) way to ice a cake. Also learned how to ice and fill cupcakes, make chocolate dipped candies and CAKE POPS. I scream that because I'm not a huge fan of them. Well, I wasn't....thanks to Grandview I am a convert. Delicious!!! The cupcakes' cake was a great texture and their buttercream is lovely.
I picked up a Peaches and Cream coffee cake for $6.99! Whaaaaat? Let me tell you...my coworkers have housed it already.
Extremely reasonable prices and amazing quality. I'm grabbing another piece of that coffee cake!
What was even more impressive than the goods was the owner. The passion she has for her product and the amount of care and concern she it's into this place and her employees is what truly makes Grandview a sweet spot.
