Yummy Cheesecakes

We've finally found a bakery that bakes and ships cheesecakes that are as good (in our opinion) as those from the famous Cheesecake Factory. They come in a large number of flavors. Our favorite is the pecan truffle cheesecake with the white chocolate pistachio cheesecake running a close second. If you're a single person that doesn't want to eat a whole cheesecake in one setting, there is even a "mini cheesecake assortment". Eat one and freeze the rest.

Have a birthday coming up -- either you or someone you know? This is the time to treat yourself to yum, yum good! And what could be a more unique birthday gift than a Birthday Chesecake? It's an 8 inch New York cheesecake, covered in Chocolate Ganache. Garnished around the edge with Chocolate Sprinkles. "Happy Birthday" is written on top with a border design in White Chocolate. It's as good as it sounds. To see all the mouth-watering flavors you can choose from, check out these cheesecakes.
If it's your birthday, Happy Birthday to you...happy birthday to you...

The Little Store That Went Away

Let me take you back to the days when Flagstaff was a small town. When complaints were flying that you had to go to Phoenix if you wanted to shop. And when you could find a parking space downtown. I’m talking about the time before the Flagstaff Mall, Wal- Mart, Kohl's, and Target. Oh, there were still lots of stores, even some large chain stores like Long’s Drugs, Thrifty Drug, and Safeway. But there were also lots of unique little stores owned by folks who lived and worked in Flagstaff .

But that was twenty-five plus years ago. The town has grown and times have changed. Phoenix shopping has arrived in Flagstaff and has brought with it both the good and the bad. Prices, selection, and service have improved. Traffic has increased. Parking downtown is almost an impossibility. And we’ve lost many of the unique little shops that once catered to the needs of Flagstaff and the surrounding area.
