Someone should point out that the cannolis at Missouri Bakery are supplied by Pete Rosciglione at Rosciglione’s Bakery in St. Charles. Pete is the third generation of family bakers.

For a French tart, LaBonne Bouche and for a real bagel or gooey butter cake, Pratzels

The best whipped cream frosted cakes are found at Helfer’s Bakery in Florissant. Their butter cream frosting is wonderful as it is not so sweet. Their cakes are very tender. Wedding cakes are top notch. They have a complete bakery from cakes to cookies to danish to doughnuts to stollens and wonderful breads. They also have a really nice deli next to the bakery.

Ozenkoski Bakery in St. Charles has the very best gooey butter cakes and a variety of flavors. The raspberry is my favorite.

Try the Apple Pull-A-Parts at the Clayton Bakery (Des Peres) on Manchester Road (southside), especially when seated in a committee setting. A napkin or two keeps you freed from k-f-s untensils while the work goes on! Then, sample gooey butter cake…for variety!

Sarah’s Cake Shop in Clarkson-Wilson Center creates the tastiest wedding cakes ever. They are gorgeous works of art.

Best is Federhoffers on Gravois Jerry Wessel

Surprised Sweet Art on (2203 S 39th St) did not make your list. Lovely baked goods, ALL made from scratch. Their cupcakes are epic.

Bittersweet Bakery is closed.

In the Maswik Cafeteria at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, there was a large sign above the center of the food srecive area that pointed the way to various offerings, including a helpful arrow directing you to the “Deserts”. Sadly, judging by recent pictures online, they’ve remodeled and the sign is now gone. Oddly enough, if you go in the approximate direction the arrow points, leaving the main road, crossing into the adjacent Kaibab National Forest, and continuing on Forest Service roads, you will find yourself leaving the forest and entering a desert area. wv: wineses – Gollum’s tipple of choice, or the true cause of many of these wrecks.
