SWEET REMEDY

What's the best remedy for a sweet tooth craving? A sugar fix. While on an errand my friend Yoko and I were tempted by a plethora of baked delights inside the shop window of a corner bakery in Old Town Pasadena. We promised ourselves a walk-by later even if only to just satisfy our yearning hearts by pressing our noses up against the window. In the end we couldn't resist the temptation to pop inside. This turned out to be a fabulous idea as we would have otherwise missed the opportunity to sample some of their delectable sweets - scrumptious raspberry thumbprints and a slice of flaky lattice Peach Pie - yummmm...

Sugar Fix Desserts is a family affair launched this year by the Lew family. The bakery is inviting not just because of its colorful decor and tempting displays of cupcakes, fruit crustata, tea cakes, and breakfast treats but because of the gracious hospitality of the folks behind the counter. On the day we visited we had the pleasure of meeting mom & pop Lew. Pop bakes all the pies and the kids whip up the other long list of assorted pastries available on the menu. Do stop by if your burning to satisfy a sweet craving. Try their Apple Tarte Tatin - a customer favorite. Also, while your sampling their desserts don't forget to put in an order for your holiday pies.
