Warm and Sweet

One of our favorite things to do on Saturday morning after the the long work week, is to get up and head to the bakery for some well deserved sweet treats.  The Detroit area is full of phenomenal bakeries to get some of the freshest, tastiest treats for that weekend indulgence.  We have some favorites, just to name a few...


Avalon International Breads

Avalon International Breads is a jewel in Detroit's Midtown/Cass Corridor neighborhood. You know that feeling you get when you walk into a shoe store and EVERY shoe looks fabulous, so you want to buy them all?? That's how we feel every time we walk into Avalon.  The goodies are seasonally ever changing just like your favorite designer collections so yes, you should try them ALL!

Love's Custard Pies

We found Love's one Saturday afternoon during our ritual Eastern Market shopping trip.The crowd of patrons surrounding their booth, enjoying samples of the rich, decadent chess pies caught our attention and since then it's been love at first bite.We now make it a point to get to the market to pick up our pies early because they sell out fast! Or, you can order them online.

First Lady Cakes

First Lady Cakes is one of Detroit's most recent sweet sensations.This adorably, quaint baker over on Detroit's westside is constantly coming up with deliciously creative ways to make you justify taking just more bite.Ten more bites later, you stop counting. And for good reason.... Contact them by email and order some of their famous "Lady Cakes' for your next gathering, or just because.
