"There are a lot of tricolored symbols in Seattle—like navy, teal, and white for the Mariners, or grey, darker grey, and darkest gray for December. The rainbow slice at Hawaiian bakery Cakes Of Paradise is just as iconic. Flavored with strawberry-guava, lime, and orange-passionfruit, it’s a feat of pastry that somehow makes a dense block of cake oddly refreshing. Same goes for the sweet-tart mango cream cheese pie. But there are good options for fruit-loathers too, like chocolate chantilly layers frosted with thick mac nut buttercream. You’ll want to call an order in for your birthday. Especially if it’s in December." - Aimee Rizzo
