Patisserie/Cake Shop

French technique meets custom confection at Baltimore's patisseries and cake shops. These destinations move beyond grocery-store basics to offer hand-laminated croissants, fruit tarts with precise glazes, and cakes built to order for occasions that call for something made to specification. Whether you're after a morning pastry, a celebration cake, or desserts for an event, these shops distinguish themselves by craft—the quality of their butter, the precision of their bake, the care in their decoration.
