| - This cupcake deserves to live. Saw on FB they were suffering greatly under the burden of only the onset of a predicted 3 years of light rail construction. Made this first visit as mission of mercy. There will be no more "mercy". I am their's for life or for however long before light rail construction forces them to move, but please, please, don't close. I've only just found you and parting would be a not sweet but bitter sorrow.
I am so over over-priced cupcakes, but I am their's from the first delectable, moist, absolutely unequivocally delicious bite of the "Chocolate Intensity" cupcake. One might fear an overload of chocolate on chocolate violence but this was love, not war. Friend Norm vouches for the exquisite gluten-free version of same. Note they have a number of additional gluten-free offerings.
Picked up 1/2 dozen of the massive, easily-serves-2 brownies and am struggling to hold on to that "for later" resolve to keep from diving face-down into that box (It's been done - I've seen me do it -see profile pic)) to sample those massive salted caramel, chocolate ganache, peanut butter chocolate, and chocolate pecan turtle brownies. And note they're more than just big square brownies in appearance - each has it's own professionally crafted elegance, from the lattice of dripped chocolate atop one, to another that gave me the impression of small waves of rich dark chocolate on top.
Note that it's a small shop with a single bakery counter out front and not a lot of inventory on display or presumably on hand, but they do much more than cupcakes and brownies BY SPECIAL ORDER, including all manner of tarts, pastries, danish, turnovers, cookies, cakes, and wedding cakes, etc. They cater and deliver as well.
According to the web page: open Tuesday - Saturday, 10-6. Phone: (602) 331-0333. Bakery located in small shopping center at NE corner of 19th Ave & Northern, adjacent to Gyros House, facing 19th Avenue and close to the Boston Market and Einstein Bagels end of the center. Construction traffic making it difficult to get there but it's well worth the trouble. If your (my) dieting determination must die, let it be in the face (or taste) of such as what's offered at Lady D's so that it might at least might be truly worthwhile. Highly recommend.
