Mrs. Backer's Pastry Shop

I started going to this bakery after my favorite closed. It's the only place I could find the Pineapple Rum cake. Unfortunately it's a hit and miss. Sometimes it's perfect with the Rum flavoring. Or others like this past Saturday June 3rd, 2023, there was zero Rum flavor. Which is disappointing with how much you spend per piece. I have tried many other treats and they are all fresh and delicious. But I wish there was consistency on the main reason I go for.

My first time here and from seeing so many reviews I’ve been wanting to try it. I love decor, it’s very cute inside. The large glass cases allows you to see everything they have. The line was long but moved fast. We wanted to try a little bit of everything. The cakes are made with real butter and you can taste the quality of the freshness. I wasn’t a fan of the cookies. The cakes tasted delicious but are very rich. When I saw the total at the end I was kinda shocked at how expensive it was. I’d go back and give it another try, my overall experience was okay. The staff are friendly. Luckily we found parking on the side of the building but there’s a lot of traffic the area.

You have to stop here when in Salt Lake City! The pastries and cookies are awesome! Love love love the history! Ask to see the book is cakes from 1937! The tip that decorates the cupcakes is the original from the 1940's they had custom-made! The staff is fun, and you feel welcomed the moment you walk through the door!
