Rockwood Bakery Y 315 E 18th Ave, Spokane, WA // 509.747.8691 ou know the expression, “It tasted like a slice of heaven”. After eating Rockwood Bakery’s pumpkin pie, I think I fully understand the meaning. Their pumpkin pie is so moist and creamy it literally melts in your mouth. It has just the right blend of pumpkin and spice and you can taste the rich nutmeg and allspice. These pumpkin flavors lingered in my mouth like an expensive European chocolate. The crust was light, careful not to overpow- er the flood of flavors from the filling. I highly recommend trying a slice of this heaven, or, if you’re like me and won’t settle for just a slice, you can buy the whole pie. In addition to their mouth-watering pumpkin pie, we also enjoyed their fresh apple pie, almond croissant, and chocolate chip cookie the size of your head. This is one of the freshest, most consistent bakeries I have visited in Spokane. It keeps us coming back for more and it doesn’t hurt that it’s absolutely adorable, located on the tree-lined streets of South Hill. sweet frostings 15 S Washington St, Spokane, WA // 509.242.3845 S weet Frosting’s makes the best cupcakes, with tons of flavors to choose from. My favorites include carrot, chocolate salted caramel, lemon smoothie, and birthday cake, but really you can’t go wrong with any of them. They also do custom birthday and wedding cakes! Do yourself a favor and try one (or twelve) of their cupcakes. 58 ART CHOWDER MAGAZINE
