Las Vegas is over the top. Bigger hotels, more casinos, more shows, bigger billboards, and lots and lots of “interesting” people. Lots. So it is fitting that Freeds Bakery is here. Freeds is large, it is extravagant, it is amazing. We found it because Cindy is diligent and read some reviews and off we went because who can resist a local bakery. We were amazed. We bought a slice of cake - cause they are famous for the cakes. The fellow who helped us said they sell hundreds of cakes every day. They have 18 full time bakers and scores of decorators. While we were there, admittedly a bit long for a bakery visit :) we saw a dozen or more people picking up cakes. In the morning on a weekday! In addition to our cake slice, we had some superlative cookies and one perfect cinnamon pastry that I wish I had right now with my coffee. If you are in Las Vegas, go to Freeds, - just take your time the choices are overwhelming and everything we ate was exquisitely done. Not just the taste but the presentation and even the proper boxes for a bakery.
And they do mail order, now what cookies must I have?
