"The millionaire shortbread at Baked On 8th deserves its own statue. Sure, it won’t look like much, but we can all stand there and salute over the cookie-dough-like shortbread and freaky creamy caramel. There’s so much more in their building-length pastry case, too, like intricately decorated cookies and hunks of almond chocolate chip pound cake baked in muffin tins. They’re known for their cakes, so if you have a celebration, this is a perfect spot to order a custom one. And if your celebration is that you made it through Tuesday, just grab an individual slice, like the strawberry one with tons of fresh fruit flavor." - ann walczak, bailey freeman
