Ruth & Ranshaw, Fairview

On a stick, in a glass, rolled up, or stuck together. These are a few of the creative ways that bakers at Ruth & Ranshaw serve their handcrafted desserts. The on-a-stick category covers cake and marshmallow pops, caramel apples, and chocolate apples, whereas trifles, banana pudding, and mousse display their sweet layers in tall glasses. Pumpkin rolls and coffee roulades come rolled up, and whoopie pies stick together.

Bakers also create more traditional sweets, such as pecan pies and chocolate chip cookies, as well as specializing in custom cakes for weddings, birthdays, or other occasions. These cakes are beautiful both inside and out, filled with flavors such as pumpkin spice or red velvet and fillings including citrus curd and Kahlúa.
