Small Businesses: Showing some love for bakeries across the United States
Florida
Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop, Miami
This is known as Miami’s original pie shop; however, pie definitely isn’t the only thing they sell. Among the baked goodies they offer are pie, cake, cheesecake, coffee, cookies, savory options, other baked goods, and pie and cake shakes. OMG.
Everything on their menu can be sold by the slice (perfect for yourself) or whole (perfect for parties, holidays, and other get-togethers).
Some of their flavors of pastries include:
- Key Lime Pie
- Guava Coconut Rum Cake
- Cappuccino
- Cookies and Cream Cheesecake
- Sprinkled Sugar Cookie
- Chicken Pot Pie
- Beef Empanada
Hint: ANY of their cakes or pies can be made into a shake that is blended with ice cream and topped with a mound of whipped cream!
In addition to their Miami location, Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop also has two other locations to support.
