Sweet Dees Bakeshop, Scottsdale

Customers enter Sweet Dee's Bakeshop under a cream-colored, scalloped awning that hints at the simple elegance and flowery decor that awaits inside. But besides the bakery's undeniable beauty, and probably more important, are the gourmet baked goods it has to offer. Specialty cakes and daily flavors of cruffin (a croissant and muffin's lovechild) sit in a neat line within glass cases, while flaky pastry tarts hold creamy chocolate custard or glazed slices of fruit. Lunch and breakfast, crafted with the same ingenuity and sophisticated platings as Sweet Dee's desserts, are served all day long.
