Mrs. Backer's Bakery

Picture of the Day for 2/13/2015. I stopped at Mrs. Backer's Bakery on my way to the office today for one of their famous little chocolate/rum cakes. Mrs. Backer's has been a Salt Lake institution for decades. I love how the place hasn't changed in decades. The old-fashioned look is so charming. 

When my brother-in-law, David, and his friend, Walt, were in high school in the 1960s, they would order a cake for themselves and have them write "Happy Birthday Homer Noodleman"  on it. These two are in their late 60s now and it's fun to see them together.  They crack themselves up and give each other fart-related gifts. You can totally see how they must have been as school-age buddies.
