Kick Ass Kakes

When asked how he created his name, Owner and Chef Jay Murphy laughs: “A friend said, ‘You don’t make normal cakes, you make kick ass cakes’ and it just clicked.”

Treehouse Bakery

This sweet, nostalgic shop in Phoenix calls back to innocent times with pink stripes painted on the walls and eclectic local art. Owners and Chefs Corianne Nelson and Amanda Sizemore have been baking since they were young, but joke that they ran out of people to give it away to until 2010 when a friend complained that she couldn’t find any vegan baked goods and the stars aligned to kick start their business. Starting out in some of the Valley’s farmers’ markets, they grew their business and opened their first brick-and-mortar location in April 2012.

24 Carrots

Don’t be surprised if the helpful staff at 24 Carrots ask, “Dessert first?” With lots of variety, you can pick from vegan, gluten free and raw treats. Owner and Chef Sasha Raj’s favorite (and a big customer favorite too) is the Antoine Cake, a vegan cake made with chocolate, almonds and coconut topped with a vegan caramel sauce that is excellent all on its own, or especially decadent topped with fresh berries. Also worth a try are the caramel pecan blondies and the raw carrot cake cheesecake.
