Red Button Vintage Creamery
With the weather getting warmer we can't help but want ice cream and we are loving the locally made ice cream from Red Button Vintage Creamery. We love the unique flavors from Red Button that we haven't found anywhere else.
Some of our favorite flavors in no particular order.
Black Licorice. If you like black licorice then you will love this ice cream!
Sprinkled Animal Cookie. The perfect way to bring out the kid in yourself with this tasty treat.
Cinnamon Chocolate Chip. This flavor was originally a limited edition flavor but after so many requests Red Button added it to their everyday flavors.
Lime Rickey Sherbet. The perfect mix of sweet and tart, just like the yummy drink.
Red Button has many more flavors most of which are unique that you won't find anywhere else. You can pick up some ice cream for yourself at a locally owned member of Associated Foods. List of stores found here.
GIVEAWAY: You can also head over the I Heart Salt Instagram for a chance to win some Red Button Vintage Creamery Ice cream to try some for yourself!

The Patisserie
Recently we were able to taste the deliciousness that is The Patisserie. Owner Janessa's love for baking shows in each of her tasty desserts.
The Patisserie offers pies, tarts, macarons, cookies and cakes to order.
The sugar cookies would be perfect for a party, shower, BBQ, gift or just to enjoy. The frosting has a hint of almond, it's delicious!
The Patisserie cakes are so good, we tried 5 different mini cakes and we loved them all!
We tried the chocolate mousse, almond, spice with cream cheese frosting, coconut and lemon cream.
They were all amazing! We loved the how moist the spice cake was, the fluffy and light consistency of the lemon cream, the flavor of the almond, coconut and the chocolate mousse. We would order every single one of them again.
Janessa is so easy to work with and her cakes not only taste great but they are beautiful too. Call The Patisserie for your next event, you will be happy you did.

The Fix: Speciality Drinks and Homemade Sugar Cookies
Have you heard about The Fix in Draper? They serve up some of the best specialty fountain drinks around. They use syrups and delicious purees to create tasty beverages.
The Fix has a full menu of specialty drinks that you have got to try!
Some of our favorites include
Princess Peach (Lemonade + Peach, Pineapple, Pomegranate, Fresh Limes)
Voltron (Mtn Dew + Raspberry, Strawberry, Blackberry)
Pink Panther (half Sprite/ half Lemonade + Strawberry Puree)
Strawberry Lime Rickey. Which isn't on the menu, but was probably the best one I have ever had.
They will make any drink to your specifications, so don't worry if it isn't on the menu. The Fix also offers a few sugar free syrup options.
Not only does The Fix make delicious drinks, but they also make some amazing cookies! Owner Karissa bakes these super soft cookies from her family recipe that has been passed down for generations. The Traditional Sugar Cookies and the (new) Coco Creme Cookies will have you hooked! Trust us, we were hooked at one bite.
The Fix is located inside the Chevron on Draper Parkway. You can go inside or use their convenient drive thru. You can also pre-order The Fix cookies for your next party or get together. Give them a call to place your order and ask about special designs and colors.
Another really cool thing about The Fix are their metal mugs and glass growlers. You can refill them for a small price. The growlers are perfect for parties, picnics, family dinners, baby and bridal showers, movie nights and just about any event you need to bring a tasty drink.
We took our growler, a few cookies, and a blanket outside for a little picnic play date.
There are so many ways you can use your growler. Take a specialty drink to a sick friend, bring along to your kids little league games, have a few growlers with different flavors at your next birthday party, teacher appreciation gifts, the list goes on.
Needless to say, we love The Fix!

Sky Bake Delivery Cakes
We recently had a chance to try out some of the yummy cupcakes from Sky Bake Deliveries.
Sky Bake Deliveries is a Utah based company that specializes in mail order cakes. They bake, package and deliver tasty cakes from Utah Valley.
Utah residents will receive their cake the day after they are shipped. And better yet, when you send something to the MTC in Provo they guarantee same day delivery if ordered before noon.
The cakes come in a few different sizes so you can choose the one that fits your needs best. Sky Bake offers seven flavors of cake and five different kinds of frosting. Of course they also offer custom cakes as well as pie.
We taste tested the Cocoa Fo Sho, Killa Vanilla, Yellow Yum Yum and Lemon Squeezy. We enjoyed them all but our very favorite was the Lemon Squeezy! If you like lemon, this is the cake for you! It is even made with real lemons, no artificial flavoring here.
All of the frosting flavors and cakes we delicious! We can't to get some more Sky Bake Deliveries!

The Baking Hive
We recently stopped into the new bakery The Baking Hive in East Millcreek. We had such a great time that we had to share The Baking Hive with you.
Owner Elisa went to culinary school in England but started baking as a child with her grandma. Elisa's love for baking shows in everything at The Baking Hive. Elisa is such a delight to chat with and makes you feel as if you have been friends for years.
The Baking Hive serves whole pies, cakes and pavlova or you can buy them by the slice. Make sure to check out their monthly specials too. We also love their short-bread sugar cookies, Dirty Jonnys and my personal favorite, the Caramel Jaguar Bars! Even my toddlers gobbled them up.
One of our favorite things about The Baking Hive (besides the delicious goodies of course) is the Kids Decoration Hive where kids receive their own bakers hat and they get to frost and decorate their own cookie or cupcake.
Elisa is so great with kids and has dedicated this special spot in her shop for kids. It is so fun, your kids are sure to have a great time while you sit and enjoy a tasty treat.
The Baking Hive also offers adults and children's cooking classes. All recipes are made from scratch. And I can't forget to mention that they also host birthday parties!
See store for details.
Don't take our word for it, head to The Baking Hive and check it out for yourself.
